For anyone watching at home, which going by the crowd was most of you, was JVR a tactical or injury sub?

    Really hoping that Clarry and Viney put on ice. Jack was enormous early but faded. I suspect both require surgery so do it now. I'd add Max to that list but not happening.

    Another who was perhaps unwell, or was suffering the effects of? He certainly looked pretty rough on the bench.

    Yes that’s very possible. He looked stuffed trying to get to the bench. 


    CLARRY DEFINATELY UNDER THE WEATHER IS MY INTEL, Plus a few others as well!

    Lose to GC and beat Collingwood and you've got a deal.

    From what Goodwin said last night after the game, it sounds like he isn't going to put away any players. 

    Against Collingwood I'd put any of our top players away cause who knows what they'll do

    Giving games to the youngsters has to be the go. It's what end of season dead rubbers are for.

    We are already playing plenty of youngsters. Throwing them to the wolves without the protection of senior players is not the way to end the season. Hoping for no more injuries so those still standing can hit preseason with intent. 
    that said, if moniz is good to go, would like his speed back in. Good to see Howes and hore back in, but hoping MC picks whatever side matches up best to win rather than experiment.
    Or throw fritta to halfback to see which media needs to lay the boots in, for funsies.

    Remarkable result given that, which is what many of us suspected.

    Jeffersen for Melks

    Yeah Melk could be on the chopping block for team selections this week. 

    3 disposals against the doggies previous week and was pretty ineffective as a sub.

    We need to bring in Ray Biffin and Rod Grinter to play on Moore and Maynard.

    • 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.
