Melksham, Petty and now Brayshaw out. A step too far.

And the MRO will be looking closely at JVR's careless (or stupid?) elbow.

Unless we can disrupt them defensively by moving more quickly on transition and from half back, this ain’t happening. Hopefully Tracc can lift, and the Pies tire. They should, cos they’ve been fading in the last month, but our inside 50 game at the mo is simply awful. Making it so so easy to defend. Ugly stuff, but there’s time.

What the hell is with the media trying to get Maynard off. He elected to jump and caused a player to go off concussed. How can it be any clearer.

I'll burn something  down if he gets less than three weeks.

Sparrow two touches.

Trac 7.

Tmac 2.

I hate to say it but even Viney hasn't  been good.

Lots of them want the easy footy, just stare at the contest. Why can't they follow Vineys exemplary body of work?

Feel like we really dominated that quarter without gaining on the score board, looked a lot more Melbourne like. 
One thing about this team is we can go harder for longer. 

Starting to win a few more contests but our method going inside 50 is deplorable. Only Bowey and rivers showing any poise. Would have loved to sneak a goal in the back end of that half but Collingwood backline too solid.

Burn a cross with Maynard nailed onto it Deever 

We had the game back on our terms but couldn't convert. Our forward line is a dog's breakfast but it's only 17 points. First goal this quarter and it's game on.

Poor Gus 😭

Roo will get suspended

Starting to grow into the 2nd half of the 2nd quarter. Have to be more precise going forward take our opportunities.

Gawn starting to lift aswell as Kozzie need more action from Fritta, Trac, Clarrie cmon lads we need more from you guys.

JVR and Tmac time to stand up and take a couple of grabs.

Get busy Dees.

Get a fugging move on.

Now they are saying JVR can be called to the tribunal. Is that believable?

Third quarter crucial. Gotta apply scoreboard pressure and be within 10 points at 3/4 time. Forward play shambolic so far so for Christ sake can we try to find our forwards on a lead.

 

I liked the way we eneded that quarter but I don't know where our goals are going to come from. We can't seem to grasp the concept of lowering your eyes inside 50.

1 week for certain, sadly. Textbook careless, late and high. Welcome back Brodie Grundy. Maynard should go too, because he could’ve avoided turning. They’ll give him benefit of the doubt tho. 

Richo is a deadset gronk 

Hate his voice

He was a sook as a player. I’m happy he got no success at the tigers.

Now he’s a cretinous, biased dropkick with the mic. 

TMac to back pocket, JSmith the GHF, smalls front and centre with paired run-throughs provided. Bit more from Viney, Tracca and Clarrie - not much teamwork between them. Rivers into centre, Sparrow takes on Sidebottom. NO BOMBS. JVR has got to lead to space. Gawn doing well.

We have 8 more inside 50’s and bomb it for no result. 

No one leads out to get separation.

Totally dysfunctional forward line atm.

He moved his elbow towards the chin of the pies player. Not a good look.

 

Need a huge lift from Sparrow, McDonald, Fritsch and Salem. Simply not good enough so far.

Is trac playing ?? 

Spent a bit of time on the bench that quarter  but yea he's been exceptionally  quiet.

I'm really disappointed after Gus was stretchered off we didn't respond .

Tmac worries me so much.

I know our entries are poor but he could be out bowling people over.

I feel he just makes up the numbers when he plays these days.

Please prove me wrong Tom.

  • NON-MFC: Round 09

    Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

    Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front. They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

  • REPORT: West Coast

    On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.
