    Petty looks as if he's already signed up elsewhere. He shouldn't be playing. Maybe he isn't a fwd.

    Don't know what's going on with Viney and Tracca.

    Sparrow never really dominates.

    Billings back to Casey.

    I don't mind losing but not like this. Richmond are terrible but we are letting them win from just lazy and poor efforts.

    When have we played this badly before.

    Even if we win there needs to be a microscope on this match.

    I'm sorry but we are not top four contenders. Im not even confident we are final eight after that half.

    Yze knows it’s pressure that beats Melbourne 

    What happened to our skills ?

    Imagine if we played a good side tonight like Geelong ? Would it be a 100 point drubbing.

    Maybe last week wasn’t an abomination?

    That may be the case but most of our errors have come from disposals that are under no pressure at all. Simple basics of the game.

    Is Petty anywhere near fit enough, looks miles off it.

    Yze has put together a game plan against us & it's working.

    He knows how our players operate & being around Melbourne knows he we can also crumble 

    And what about Mini for the tigers? Can he offer up anything?

    Not an excuse IMO, we are bog ordinary.

    Stay Staunch. Keep the faith.

    I think we have found out all we need to know tbh.

    We won’t be contending unless we do a complete 180.

    What pressure, most of the turn overs are under none, make you wonder wth they are thinking out there

     

    You can forget about top 4 if we lose this one.

    Richmond are on. I'll take 4pts if we can overcome the pressure. It's a great game of footy.


    Top excuses for that half of "football"

    1 Too long between games (weve got rusty)

    2. Ground too dry, we read the weather forecast and they said it would rain

    3. Jumper clash, confused by the similarities in the colours

    4. Not used to playing on Wednesday night

    5. Cant hear our team cause the crowds too big

    How do you explain the first quarter misses? Easy set shots. I honestly don’t rate Choccos goal kicking coaching.

    Assume it is blowing a gale! Only reason i can think that you miss 15 metre kicks!

    Got the binos in Clarry's hand. I'd love to see it looks good but I'd be basing that on nothing but a doctorate of sight

    Or win.

    Dunstalls full of it but summed is up perfectly..... malaise.

    I don’t even know what position Petty is playing. I don’t think he knows. 

    Or cares


    Umpires have been as effective as the disposals

    Petty in defence? Is the forward experiment over?

     

    Billings doesn't really impose himself.

    If we can get a first round pick for Petty we grab it and run

    • 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.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.
