Sometimes I wonder why Sparrow gets selected.

Today is one of them.

His play on decision after marking at CHF, then panicking and trying to thread a pass but coughing it up.... Ughh!

Kozzy still flying for mark of the century.  Can someone in the team ask him to pls stop and go get front & square more often.  It's called "Doing the Team thing"!

Our forwards STILL aren't working hard enough presenting on the lead.

Aside from one Billings kick to Viney i can't recall any other decent connect coming inside 50.

Marty was fab that quarter.

BB was decent!

Windsor's running & work rate impressive.  Tracc & Clarry same.  Their disposal though....bah

Fritta & Kozzy note.... how Viney used up every second of the clock before taking his set shot.  Pls remember to do the same (everyone taking a set shot!)

    obviously a coach in the making really good to see. And petty wandering around as well

    Hope he's not wearing his Crows jumper.

    he is pretty important to the midfield rotation and making sure our other mids get a rest

    When you're in the midfield you still need to do something.

    6 disposals for 0 tackles going at 66% is sub par performance off the back of another poor performance last week.

    Ridiculously overrated by Melbourne supporters on here.

     

    OK now I've seen it all. Simba cam where you hold your child up. 

    Can we just have a quiet half time where we used to watch the little league

    Love your attitude FD.

    That's what life is all about if you ask me. The no self pity attitude.

    I hope they get it done for you. Looking good.

    Why won't Fritsch play in front?

    It requires effort....

    Kossie needs a spell on the ball just go get involved. 

    Can see why we let Harmes go. Too slow.

    I think you might need to post a couple more times to get your message across.

    Umpiring standard this season leaves a lot to be desired.

    We seemed to have taken our foot off their neck in the second halve of the second quarter.

    Great effort from Bb and good to see Chin of old.

    Kozzie gone cold.

    May playing very well.

    Hore is back where he belongs.

    Jvr totally mia that quarter.

    He and Fritta need to get going. Moreso Fritta.

    Max atoning for last week.

    Viney was quiet that quarter after a blistering start.

     

    Chin playing like small forward should why cant picket instead going fo a specky

    Using the half time breaks to read more this year.

    Currently reading Hymns of the Republic by S.G Gwynne which details the last year of the Civil War. Highly recommend!

    I've finally stopped procrastinating and got stuck into Orwell's 'Down and out in Paris and London.' Truly special.

    That art of observing reality and presenting it to the reader thoughtfully with only limited judgement of what is being described is sorely missed in our world of 'aggressive reputation management'.

    Y'know, Orwell did some sports reporting for the papers, back in his day.

    I've still never read 1984. That might have to be next!

    • 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.
