We should be in front.

 

No we shouldn’t, if defence counts for anything.

JJ showing why he’ll play for essendon next year.

His brain seems to work slower or something.  


0 frees to Dees. Umps doing their part and our goal kicking doing the rest.

 

Not sure why Harmes is in the side unless he has a special job ie tagging someone. If he has a tagging job he is not doing it. I also don't believe The Tigers can play four quarters.

ANB, Harmes and Jordon are dead set killing us with their turnovers and inability to be reactive.

Jordon especially needs a dead set rocket

Oh, i so agree


Harmes just killing us. Hasn’t had an effective disposal and missed two sitters. Surely this is his last game

Harmes radar way off. Can’t afford to miss gilt edged opportunities like those

    Harms going at 28%

    ANB going at 42%

    Petracca missing easy shots

    JJ slow

    Its just the same old

    Agree with all pionts Hunter, Langdon? UNSIGHTED BRAYSHAW UNSIGHTED

    Edited by picket fence

    We are definitely playing more through the corridor today, Richmond is one of a few sides I wouldn't be doing this against, so poor coaching and Goodwin needs to change it up a little or they'll hurt us on turnovers. Not sure why we want that gameplan today. Tigers' forward entries are the standard we should be aiming for. 

    Close fast game… but we’re missing v gettable goals. Trac looks tired. 


    When Harms takes a shot from right in front the odds are:

    90% behind

    5% out on the full

    5% goal

    Can't get the game on WatchAfl here in the United States👺.l!!!   Saints game showed fine, not our game. Anyone here notice that, or is it just mine?  Ty

    Yep same here in Toulouse. Started working at end of the quarter.

    The questions to some of these players is simple. "Do you want to be here?" We have some guys absolutely torching momentum right now and not playing with any urgency and if they aren't doing that they are missing relatively easy shots from directly in front. 

    Again I ask, do you want to be in this team? Your spot is at stake and if you don't want it there is someone that will.

    Delist Harmes! Unforgivable to miss those 2 shots.

    Arrogant to not play Hibbo. 
    Harmes has to tag Dusty. Why is he in the side otherwise?

    Have a look at our first goal and see who started the play.

    That’s really poor by Harmes, has put himself into a good position & to miss from directly in front twice is not good enough, every possie he’s had has been a turnover 

    Give Dunstan a go we’ve seen enough

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?

    • FEATURE: 1925

      A hundred years ago today, on 2 May 1925, Melbourne kicked off the new season with a 47 point victory over St Kilda to take top place on the VFL ladder after the opening round of the new season.  Top place was a relatively unknown position for the team then known as the “Fuchsias.” They had finished last in 1923 and rose by only one place in the following year although the final home and away round heralded a promise of things to come when they surprised the eventual premiers Essendon. That victory set the stage for more improvement and it came rapidly. In this series, I will tell the story of how the 1925 season unfolded for the Melbourne Football Club and how it made the VFL finals for the first time in a decade on the way to the ultimate triumph a year later.

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      Saturday’s election night game in Perth between the West Coast Eagles and Melbourne represents 18th vs 15th which makes it a tough decision as to which party to favour. The Eagles have yet to break the ice under their new coach in Andrew McQualter who is the second understudy in a row to confront Demon Coach Simon Goodwin who was also winless until a fortnight ago. On that basis, many punters might be considering to go with the donkey vote but I’ve been assigned with the task of helping readers to come to a considered opinion on this matter of vital importance across the nation. It was almost a year ago that I wrote a preview here of the Demons’ away game against the Eagles (under the name William from Waalitj because it was Indigenous Round).  I issued a warning that it was a danger game, based on my local knowledge that the home team were no longer easybeats and that they possessed a wunderkind generational player in Harley Reid who was capable of producing stellar performances playing among men a decade and more older than he.  At the time, the Eagles already had two wins off the back of a couple of the young man’s masterclasses and they had recently given the Bombers a scare straight after their Anzac Day blockbuster draw against the then reigning premiers.

    • NON-MFC: Round 08

      Round 08 of the 2025 AFL Season kicks off on Thursday with a must-win game for the Bombers to stay in touch with the top eight, while the struggling Roos seek a morale-boosting upset. Friday sees the Saints desperate for a win as well if they are to stay in finals contention and their opponents the Dockers will be eager to crack in to the Top 8 with a win on the road. Saturday kicks off with a pivotal clash for both sides asthe Bulldogs look to solidify their top-eight spot, while Port seeks to shake their pretender tag. Then the Crows will be looking to steady their topsy turvy season against a resurgent Blues looking to make it 4 wins on the trot. On Election Night a Blockbuster will see the ladder-leading Pies take on the Cats, who are keen to bounce back after a narrow loss. On Sunday the Sydney Derby promises fireworks as the Giants aim to cement their top-eight status, while the Swans fight to keep their season alive. The Hawks, celebrating their centenary, will be looking to easily account for the Tigers who are desperate to halt their slide. The Round concludes on Sunday Night with a top end of the table QClash with significant ladder implications; both Queensland teams are in scintillating form. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • PREGAME: West Coast

      The Demons hit the road in Round 8, heading to Perth to face the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium. With momentum building, the Dees will be aiming for a third straight victory to keep their season revival on course. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.
