As much as we are OFF they are ON. Everything they touch is gold & we’re using two grabs to pick up [censored]

    Disco has quite the kick. 

    Seriously, if we can enter the main break having at least made inroads into the lead that will be something to work with, so another would be nice. Two would be great.

    Max no point punching it forward out of the ruck comtests as the Blues have a defensive (spare) sweeper sitting right in the hole waiting for that.

    If you're punching it away at least target someone like Windsor out wide who can burst out and find a target inside

    This just isn't our night, spent all our energy last week it seems. 

    We are so predictable. You didn't need to be a fortune teller to know we'd lack energy tonight. This is so similar to the Brisbane game. We really lack smarts. Why they didn't inject some fresh players beats me.

    Jeez, what a bad half of footy. Absolutely no forward method whatsoever, and forward pressure nonexistent. On top of that we're losing clearance and contest, so the ball is just constantly in Carlton hands.

    As much as we love Max his hit out work is suspect, or our mid fielders don't take their positions at stoppage. It's one or the other.

    First use to the opposition 80% of the time.

    Rivers is caught high… after having already been punched in the head, and nothing on either occasion?

    He was even wearing a bandage for visibility! And still nothing!!

     [censored] half. We made no inroads into the q1 lead, so it will need to be a pretty amazing q3. 

    dunno. Can’t see it. We don’t have enough winners. Some guys completely absent. Walsh smashing us. Weitering everywhere.

    • 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.
