    Hate to say it but such a typical dees  loss coming up …. Expecting so much more from how they played last week to lose this honestly … one can only imagine the crowd v the suns next week

    What's Rivers role? Was supposed to be midfield this year and he's not really been in the guts or at half back in his old role. Looks like a wasted talent at the moment having no impact.


    Rivers and Woewodin just stood there looking at each other. No talking, no awareness.....Absolutely terrible. There seems to be no team spirit. We are cooked.

    A gift of a ball there and we kick it to Trac's shoelaces 

    That play has done me in, turning off and going to weed the garden. Dismal

    Zurharr just entered protected zone. No call. 


    Trac must be sick 

    can’t even stick a tackle

    drag him or play him fwd FFS

    What's happened to rivers?

    Why would you play on there Rivers?  Then cant hit a target 17 meters away.

    Just Putrid smarts and skills

    No strength among most over the ball or when trying to stick tackles.

    Panic footy from pretty much everyone inside 50 whenever they get their hands on it.

    Bar Sparrow, Chin, Viney, Spargy and a few other occasional cameos, where's the intent and ferocity at the loose ball and ball carrier in a team sense?



    We are sounding like bomber blitz or the blue baggers

    Agree.  We are a poor kicking team for years now, with ongoing deficiencies in forward connection.  Doesn't matter who we play, we're going to be giving them a lot of chances.

    Spargo has been horrible with his disposal.

    And I've never seen so many handballs made in sheer desperation.

    Nice kick from Disco let's hope he's the difference.

    Cos it ain't Fritta and doesn't look like Jvr will be. And even if we moved Tracca fwd, he can't score.

    These look away handballs are atrocious.

    Playing group isn’t good enough and our coach isn’t good enough to get the most out of an average list.

    Nothing will change with Simon at the helm. Wasting another season.

    Yet most on here defend Goodwin. He is killing my love of this club. I used to read demonland daily even in the offseason. Now only a couple of times a week. 

    Embarrassing from Bowey there.  High school stuff

    • 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.
