Alex Pearce’s hair is magnificent. 10/10. 

My Dad is obsessed 😂

Frederick has really lowered Kosi’s standards today. Poor poor game by him. 


May was literally tackled in the marking contest how was that a freo free? 

 

We've been much better in the second half. Gives me hope

JvR our only forward today. In contrast, hard to find a Freo forward who hasn't had impact


Turners hands anytime the ball comes his way for a mark, do they extend??????????

Oh good we have gone to [censored] again. Embarrassing. 

How the actual [censored] are we always a man down in defence

Because we are playing extra in the stoppages which we never do normally.

I can understand them being better, specially if we don't have Max.

But see how we thought Brisbane would smash us and kick 20 on us? Then with dare and effort we almost won it.

At least make it a slogfest, low scoring proposition and see what happens. Don't let them kick 7 in a row.

Anyway, hopefully we can keep the score as close as possible in the last.

Brisbane are a one paced contested and outside kicking game side.

You can muck it up against them. Plus they were all over us for the part quarter and a half. 

Without Gawn we couldn’t really control stoppages or down the line game.

We’ve muck it up at times then they’ve just gone bang on the counter with speed.

not the reason we're losing, but this umpiring is shocking

We knew that would be the case from the start. Had to beat two teams today 


Darcy went down like two sacks of potato’s… one just isn’t enough

We are 100 miles of deserving to play finals.

This trade and draft period will be incredibly important to our success next year and in 2026.

As the new Tassie team and the northern state academy gifts swallow up the top picks for a number of years, we face an aging list without a ruck, key back and multiple elite midfielders, and that's not to mention no key forwards.

Nail this trade and draft period and we can compete again for finals. If not, we risk sliding back down to familiar cellar dwelling territory. 

One thing is clear, we cannot win another flag with this list

With you all the way on this. In many ways it's been the season from hell. First Clarry, then Brayshaw and Smith, Petracca and now Gawn. What are the odds? Forget finals for me. Be competitive for the remainder of the season and finish as low as possible with respectability.  Not in the camp of play and win a final. Adds 3 weeks to your season. Hope Battle and Baker stay and get a decent pick in the top 10. Be aggressive in the trade as we have cap space and half a dozen delistings. Aforementioned players have good pre seasons, younger players continue to develop and it all looks very different.* Only caveat is numerous other times coming at the rate of knots 😏

Any reason why they play the exact same bad 90s dance song after every single Freo Goal?

  • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

    The media has performed a complete reversal in its coverage of the Melbourne Football Club over the past month and a half. Having endured intense criticism from all quarters in the press, which continually identified new avenues for scrutiny of every aspect, both on and off the field, and prematurely speculated about the departures of coaches, players, officials, and various employees from a club that lost its first five matches and appeared out of finals contention, the narrative has suddenly shifted to one of unbridled optimism.  The Demons have won five of their last six matches, positioning themselves just one game (and a considerable amount of percentage) outside the top eight at the halfway mark of the season. They still trail the primary contenders and remain far from assured of a finals berth.

  • REPORT: Sydney

    A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.

  • POSTGAME: Sydney

    The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.
