Howes impressive so far. Loving Salem in the midfield. Adds a totally new dimension outside of the bash and crash of Viney and Petracca.

 

any comments appreciated,  no video, but i am listening, but their comments are.....

pity about the goal kick

Unusual for him.

 Let's hope it hasn't spread


Damn, hot happy, McKay is a Maynard, AnB useless, Schache is useless/weak,  what is going on? 🤪😂🤪😂
 

I'm liking our system, kicking forward to advantage and keeping defensive structure

Neal Bullen just stuffing it up there 

Yeah, his kicking inside 50 is terrible. Such poor technique. 

Oh hold on, I thought you meant Petracca.

Bought a digital membership this arvo so I could watch. Think it gets sent in the post!! "facepalm".

Anyone know if you can get the voucher code emailed to you?

It isn't going to arrive in time for this game - mine took ages to arrive last season.

The intensity from both teams not strong so hard to determine how hard they are all cracking in. Some rusty disposal but it is improving as the game grows. 

Salem, Chandler and Billings are bringing some good F50 delivery.

Windsor and Howes getting to the right position but not delivering well.

The construction of our transition from defence to forward is looking OK.

Is Bowey OK? No concussion?

Doubt he's concussed. Contact looked mostly in the chest area, but McKay is a big [censored] so might have caught some of bowser's chin or lip too.


Kozzie in the guts now.

He's playing well.

Sounds like we’re mixing things up a bit which is welcome news

Tom Sparrows first quarters stats.

Impressive tackling from is early this quarter.


I didn't watch last week's game. Watching tonight I've forgotten about the players we've lost through to trades or retirements 

[censored] that's a harsh free against Riv. He was doing everything he could to wrest possession into a position to dispose of the ball.

I know he's loved or hated but I'd seriously roll the dice and give Tommo a stint fwd if Tmac plays defence.

That lack of a big body fwd then was glaring for us.

3 minutes ago, whatwhat say what said:

salem is excellent in midfield - both with his disposal and his defensive workrate

Yep we need to keep him fit. His ball use is exquisite

  • GAMEDAY: Fremantle

    It’s Game Day, and the Demons return to the MCG wounded, undermanned and desperate. Still searching for their first win of the season, Melbourne faces a daunting task against the Fremantle Dockers. With key pillars missing at both ends of the ground, the Dees must find a way to rise above the adversity and ignite their season before it slips way beyond reach. Will today be the spark that turns it all around, or are we staring down the barrel of a 0–6 start?

  • 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.
