Too cute Bowery.

Langdon too immobile and just looking at the ball

    Blues playing out of their skins. Pretty happy to only be 2 points down, but it’s pretty annoying that we missed some gettable chances because it looks like those will be very important. 

    Can we come out in the second half and turn it around?

    How Jordon continuously gets a game is beyond me.

    He's a worry at times but there are a few out there totally butchering it.

    I don’t know how many times Hewitt has been caught and just dropped it.

    Quality game. I think if we're able to get out the back Carlton are vulnerable but aside from that it's going to be about who wins the most contests.

    The Carlton supporter behind me, I've just about had enough of him. He feels he has to tell out his opinion on every play. If he bags another one of our players I'll scream.

    We better win just to shut him up.

    Well I don't think we can play much worse and it's only a two point difference.

    Feel like Carlton can’t play any better than this and we just need to make a few changes and a few less errors and we run away with this.

    I’ve never seen the kind of pressure Carlton are dishing up. It’s beyond extraordinary. Playing out of their skins. They can’t possibly keep it up, and when it drops, we’re in. Well done boys, hold your cool.

    I do wonder where our goals are going to come from.

    Maybe Smith forward.

    We’re just lucky Carlton didn’t turn inside 50’s into scores in the first quarter. 

    Our defence is elite. We will be OK.

    There is a reason they didn't.

    Out the back (and van Rooyen once he stops missing them).

    Agree. I think we’ll be ok for this reason. I’m not sure that can sustain that, and we can only get better and have been running out games really well.

    Improve our pressure, have more composure with the ball and take our chances and we win.

    Why are we playing sweet Caroline? Is that a Carlton home game thing or because the matildas won?

    Hands down the backline is keeping us in it. 
    If the midfield can lift and start to get some dominance in the contest we can win.

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.

    • PREVIEW: North Melbourne

      Can you believe it? After a long period of years over which Melbourne has dominated in matches against North Melbourne, the Demons are looking down the barrel at two defeats at the hands of the Kangaroos in the same season. And if that eventuates, it will come hot on the heels of an identical result against the Gold Coast Suns. How have the might fallen? There is a slight difference in that North Melbourne are not yet in the same place as Gold Coast. Like Melbourne, they are currently situated in the lower half of the ladder and though they did achieve a significant upset when the teams met earlier in the season, their subsequent form has been equally unimpressive and inconsistent.

    • REPORT: Adelaide

      The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.
