Clarry doesn’t want to be out there. Missed tackles, overrunning the football, just getting rid of it at all costs. He’s a liability. Would’ve much rathered seen Kynan Brown get a gig. Desperate for tackles that stick atm.        Appears that way tonite very unlike Clarry

And this is why I refuse to drive the 700km round trip to watch live.

 

This is unfortunately looking like the coach has lost the team. The Dogs are in form but this is putrid.

    We’ve had some shocking quarters this year. This is certainly one of the better shockers.

    Insipid performance by our midfield yet again. Between Gawn, Viney and Oliver not one of them can run at the ball. All three look about 90 years old. 
    Time to play Riv, Kosi and McVee in there. We have nothing to lose. 


    I can handle losing to a better team but this effort is horrible and unacceptable

    Amongst all the other outs, missing Windsor. Provides so much drive through that wing and is a key link between the backs and forwards.

    It’s like we don’t want to get suspended from tackling them. 
    Just get in there FFS

    No fear of that DZ.

    Need elite midfield talent coming in via the draft. Time to start preparing for life beyond Gawn, Viney, Trac and Clarry, because it's coming in a hurry.


    Never seen so many broken tackles. Smashed in clearances again. Midfield not running hard enough.

    McQaualter surely can’t be here next year.

    All I want is to hold a tackle, a single tackle,  they are like every other teams are just walking through us... if we can hold a single tackle we'll stop their runs.  

    High pressure start and some of our players haven't adjusted to the speed.

    Dogs off a 5 day break look 2 gears above us. 

    Were they even troubled 5 days ago against the swans? That game  seemed like a walk in the park for the Dogs.

    Who’s missing from our best side….Petracca and Windsor a first year player. 
    Is Salem best 22 anymore?

    I was thinking the same. Then remembered that there’s no way I can support an organisation that allows males to fight females. It’s appalling and truly disgusting.

    Dunno if I’ll invest much more time In this tonight. Maybe half time. This is beyond terrible. I know it’s only Q1 and there’s a lot of footy to play still, but wow a LOT would need to change for us to even be competitive.

    Sad to say but there’s something a little fitting about the dogs destroying us? We destroyed them just 3 short years ago to win the GF and signal a mirage dynasty, and unless things change DRASTICALLY tonight they will end that for us officially, at least for this year. 

    Kind of bummed, fam 😢


    It takes some serious coaching skill to get every single match up completely wrong. Well done Goody.

    Can't tackle, can't get a clearance, can't hit the ball to a teammate, can't man up, can't kick, can't take a mark. I don't know what we do at training, but it certainly isn't practicing basic skills or tactics. 

    Add in McDonald and Chandler sleepwalking around, and a bunch of kids who are miles off the required standard, and the sooner this season ends the better. 

    PS Bontempelli is the best player in the comp, how about we show him some respect and pay him some attention?

    Gawn and Viney carrying injuries. Should not be playing. No pre season has caught up with Clarry. I wouldn't play any of them again this season given the near certainty we miss finals.

    • 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.
