Is Kozzy injured? He couldn't kick straight to save his life.

    3 out of bounds in the last qtr!!

    Are we now finals chokers?

    Consecutive losses: 3 with pretty poor performances in each. 

    Also bugger off Richo and Maynard had no care for how Gus was. Just trying to defend his thuggery. 

    So deflated. Blues/swans will know we are gettable. 

    Where did we go tonight???!!

    Grundy will be practising his set shots all week after this. Van Rooyen one week no doubt.

    Sad that even with our poor kicking we let Pies win tge game in tge first quarter. 

    Our midfield and wings were disgraceful in the first.

    And we'll go into the next match without Brayshaw and probably JVR. 

    Nice while it lasted, but we are not winning it from here even if we do win next week.

    Very selfish from Rivers, why take a 45 m kick when you have players all around the goal square.

    Lost in the first quarter. For a team coming off 2 insipid finals performances last year to get smashed at the contest like we did in Q1 is just hard to fathom.

    How many teams have done two consecutive straight sets exits? Are we going to add another 'embarrassing record' to our list?

    Essendon did it about six years in a row before becoming a powerhouse.

    That was sheethouse.
    Continuous long bombs into a crowded forward line and sheet kicking.
    I'm sure there'll be "learnings."
    But it won't be from the coach.

    Fritta and TMac looked like 2 guys who haven't played for months. And now we have to go the long way, without Gus or JVR.

    Tmac is cooked

    Literally just handed the flag to Collingwood.

    Here i was thinking I had full faith in Goodwin, but how wrong was i. We're heading for a straight set exit in finals two years in a row purely of arrogant teams selections and senior players failing to stand up when needed.

    McDonald, Salem, Chandler Laurie were absolutely trash.

    Petracca and Gawn were the only ones willing to stand up but unfortunately the rest didn't want to follow.

    McDonald can honestly retire for all i care. Needed that goal to just completely turn the game and he had a mare.

    So disappointing.

    I agree, JJ would have been better.  He was barely sighted (On tv) like a few of our players.

    Wet weather. Play slow. Kick behinds. Lose.

    Effectively killed our season in that first quarter. We knew that’s what they’d bring, more than anything else about the game. Match them, and it was ours to lose. Let them get a more than 3 goal jump, and it would be too much. That we failed to stop them is enormously disappointing and frustrating. But we just weren’t up to it. Hope it’s not a wasted chance at a flag, but it’s sure looking that way. And to any of you saying Collingwood don’t deserve to be where they are now, wake up! It’s a four quarter game.

    I felt sick after Gus went down, incredibly tough for the players to come back from that. Could be career ending.

    5 mins longer and we likely win that.

    Incredibly frustrating game and there’s some hard questions to be asked of a number of players.

    Also, Cox is the biggest piece of [censored] going round, the dive into Trac’s legs and then holding it while he twists is so incredibly dangerous

    That's the sad truth brother. Fingers crossed for Gus but it's not good news.

    • PREVIEW: Fremantle

      A month is a long time in AFL football. The proof of this is in the current state of the two teams contesting against each other early this Saturday afternoon at the MCG. It’s hard to fathom that when Melbourne and Fremantle kicked off the 2025 season, the former looked like being a major player in this year’s competition after it came close to beating one of the favourites in the GWS Giants while the latter was smashed by Geelong to the tune of 78 points and looked like rubbish. Fast forward to today and the Demons are low on confidence and appear panic stricken as their winless streak heads towards an even half dozen and pressure mounts on the coach and team leadership.  Meanwhile, the Dockers have recovered their composure and now sit in the top eight. They are definitely on the up and up and look most likely winners this weekend against a team which they have recently dominated and which struggles to find enough passages to the goals to trouble the scorers. And with that, Fremantle will head to the MCG, feeling very good about itself after demolishing Richmond in the Barossa Valley with Josh Treacy coming off a six goal haul and facing up to a Melbourne defence already without Jake Lever and a shaky Steven May needing to pass a fitness test just to make it onto the field of play.

    • NON-MFC: Round 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.
