Probably an honourable, but showed signs tonight. I hate blaming umps but [censored] me. They give Geelong an eternity to get rid of the ball "play on" any 50)50 free kick Geelong

    So the difference basically is the two late goals we gave up in the first quarter. Give it your all Dees.

    Chandler has been huge

    Unlikely we'll win from here, we just waste too many entries into our fwd 50.

    I counted at least 3 certain goals missed due to our poor disposal.

    They’re putting their hearts into it. lack polish but can’t argue with the effort. still in it at 3/4 time is better than i was thinking.

    sharp very lightweight. offering very little

    He looks a bit one dimensional. And he might have speed in a straight line but isn’t evasive. Reminds me of Sam Blease, except not as quick maybe.

    Genuinely questionable umpiring - glad to see us lift now. Not wanting an honourable defeat.

    Didn't sight Henderson or Langford much in the third.


    Very proud of the effort. A few playing light weight but most are giving everything they have. Even if they mess it up they are tying to change he angle and run into spaces. But I don't know how much more bad F50 play I can take. Burning players running past or free, missing targets by 2-5 metres, kicking to the advantage of the defender when we have a one-on-one.

    We can do it from here, but I think our general sloppiness will shoot us in the foot.

    We CAN win this.

    Will we?

    No way, we should've scored 3 more goals in that QTR. Wasting our entries to our fwd 50.

    Great.

    Hopefully that's the last we ever see of Sharp in a Melbourne jumper.

    Jesus Fritsch

    He's playing better than previous weeks but still making the occasional meal.

    And sadly still kicking zero goals.

    How many for the year?

    One.

    I.mean it's the fwd line from hell.

    No firepower at all.

    Six goals.

    Move Tmac or May Goody.

    You can be as stubborn as you want but good luck being stubborn when your coaching from your couch at home mate.

    Won't be long now if we lose this.

    Do something.

    Your only staring down the barrel of unemployment.

    Stupid kick by gawn & even dumb by fritsch then.

    I know he isnt a mid fielder etc but is there any chance Max could kick a low raking kick up the line instead of attempting to seed the clouds almost every time

    Spargy pants on for Sharp. That'll get Dazz up and about!

    Edited by Demon Dynasty


    Why didn't Fritsch steady then.....seems to panic and just wants to get rid of the ball.

     

    Dees could pull off a narrow win here with a bit of luck ... have showed some positive intent and signs in the 3rd quarter ...

    • 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.
