I can’t see Yze surviving the next 2 years regardless of how good a coach he is. They haven’t hit bottom yet but it’s coming 

FWIW the Tigers faithful (the cheer squad, anyways. But they’re a reflection of the general fanbase imo) are backing Ooze all the way. That’s not to say the Board are feeling the same, but Ooze knows he has the support of the fans. At the joint banner-making session at Punt Rd I was chatting with the Tiger Army President who told me they’re really happy with securing him as head coach. She made a point of mentioning that “in his first year as coach *Hardwick only racked up two wins.”

*She called him Hardwick, not Dimma.

    Adelaide nuffies losing their mind when the insufficient intent call made. Very similar to the incident a few years ago when we were dudded.

    absolutely the right call.

    If they hold on, no doubt Fagan will come out and say it was the best win he’s ever been involved in. He’s already said it in rounds 5 and 8.

    Fogarty goes ok with a set shot. Back him in every time.

    A draw might be the best result for us?

    Fair result

    You couldn't really see Brisbane making top four now with three and a half wins out of nine games. It's probably down to seven sides now as Essendon won't be there either.

    I reckon final 8 is now set. With pies finally making it.

    Probably best 8 teams. No going to brissie for finals this year.

    good info but 2 years of bottom 2 for a team like tigers is hard to survive for any inexperienced coach. he’ll be fine this year but likely mid next year the heat will come 

    doesn’t make sense but it’s how it has been for AFL coaches. hope he survives

    i doubt it. Freo for example will make finals imo

    only 8 points between 2nd and 10th

    anything can happen

    GC and Dogs will keep asking the question 

    Cats, Bombers, Port, Giants should slip a bit but not sure how much

    As NFL coach Mike Ditka once said, "New coaches need to win and win early."

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.

    • 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.
