Sparrow,  River's etc just [censored] their dacks when under pressure they cannot think it through.

Sparrow, Chandler & Petty should not be playing.

Assuming a second half the same as that first... i'd add Clarry to that but will wait to see if he can turn it around.

Viney has also been a long way off his best for whatever reason since the Crows game.

    Even if we get well on top and win most contests it wont result in goals because we butcher the ball. We get in open space, no pressure and cant take advantage. It's so frustrating to watch as a supporter.

    I'd play Trac out of the goal square and push the other forwards up the ground.

    Protects his body and back him to win it 1v1 deep.

    Seriously [censored] off and stop mentioning  binman every time the team is playing like [censored]. 
     

    We all support the same team, but that’s where a lot of our commonality ends. People who make comments like this are lacking cerebral power. Also that particular poster should be booted off the site entirely.

    We’ve gone All In on Contested ball with the end result usually being a stoppage in our over crowded forward 50, Goodwin has nothing else. That Tired and well exposed game plan won’t cut it anymore.

    Wasted opportunity to trade clarry & petty at the end of last year. The bold moves we needed to make to set this playing list up for years to come. Just like onfield, we’re WAY too safe off it aswell.

    Season and Window over I've given them enough chances to prove me wrong.

    I've seen enough, if you can't beat half a F'n VFL side then that's enough from me.

    Play the kids and start again.

     

    There aren’t that many kids to play. The list is looking bog ordinary.

    I don't blame Goody for ten players not laying a single tackle for a half.

    Just weak and heartless.

     

    You know that's normal, right?

    Sydney finished their win over Geelong with 5 players without a tackle, and another five with only one for the game.

    Hawthorn had 4 players with zero, and another 6 with just 1.

    Today's game has been flawed by missed shots on goal, defence pulled out of its comfort zone, a scattering of bad turnovers in bad places, some iffy umpiring as always and a star player hurt, but it has been a legit effort.

    Trac needs to go home to bed. He is playing probably with broken ribs and can’t move

    Better Dees! Just move the ball with intent.

    C’mon boys, you can do this

    I have never seen the coaches lock themselves away at half time for a meeting. Very weird.

    They're trying to work out how they can further destroy a premiership list by playing even more boring insipid football.

    Laurie and Chandler are second rate and Turner and Howes are not ready. More holes in our list than Swiss cheese 

    Our senior acquisitions have been ordinary since the 21 GF as well.

    Dunstan, Hunter, Billings all rubbish.

    Our list management has been millionaire stuff.

    Even the best teams replenish year on year with quality. Not us.

    where would we be without JVR

    Great work by Koz to get it to him too.

    Why were they both sitting on the bench last qtr?

    Clarry is giving away stupid free kicks out of sheer frustration.

    • 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.
