    My favorites Casper Ruud and Elena Rybakina both gone. At least Alcaraz is still in the draw, and hopefully he knocks out [censored]. 

    The beauty of being a huge tennis, Aussie Rules and Soccer fan. If the Dees flop I turn to the tennis season watching my favorite players, if they flop (Casper Ruud often does) I revert back to Melbourne. If Melbourne aren’t too flash I go watch Tottenham… 😂😂😂

    Round 1 against GWS cannot come quick enough…

    The Demon Man is the only thing keeping me engaged in tennis this year, everyone else seems more intent on off court dramas that it’s turned the AO into the Grand Slam version of Married at First Sight - everyone more interested in creating drama for [censored] and giggles that we’ve all forgotten what the whole point of the event is.

    The problem with Chompers is he thinks he's the funniest person in the room. If Spud was still with us he would absolutely eviscerate Chomp.

    theres still plenty to watch.

    If you saw Vukic play Draper you would have seen not only the best tennis so far but the exploitation of skill and lack of. (Drapers backhand is seriously poor) Alcaraz then beat Draper but did show that he couldnt alter his game to exploit that weakness. Demon has plenty to work for to progress past him. (Unfortunately Alcaraz is such a dominant erratic player he has enough weapons of his own to beat most opponents ).With Sinner and Dojokavic both showing distractions from their tennis playing it is an interesting tournaments. There are no certainties unlike the years of the triumverate Roger, Raffa and Joker.

    the vision of sinner having the shakes yesterday was pretty frightening

    tonight's match-up between djoker and alcaraz is going to be a rippier i think

    and then tomorrow for demon vs sinner should be a pearler too

    The tennis has been fantastic (as it always is)

    And with players like Alcaraz, Swiatek, Djokovic, Sabalenko & Sinner about, what's not to like?

    And the Demon of course!  

    Danielle giving it to the mob - magnificent!!  Smart, savvy and the lady has got gumption!

    Novak was correct with his stance and Tony Jones should be tossed.  He's an embarrassment to himself and the country

    I’m not a TJ fan, in fact I’d celebrate the day he retires. However Novak handled the situation very poorly and just shows that he doesn’t understand Aussie culture.

    • 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.
