    Why on earth did they choose Andy Brayshaw for an interview straight after the siren? He has a huge gash in his head and blood was running down the side of his face. There’s literally 22 other players they could interview.

    Agree. Stupidity. Blood pouring down his face from a massive cut on his head. Terrible TV. All we could say was how ridiculous it was.

    I saw him described somewhere as a generational talent DJ. I'm not seeing it, not in Tests.

    A bit of humility would’ve been nice. Instead, he bolted out of the gates, the swashbuckling opener, and was his own biggest fan. His current run of failure might serve as a deflating of his big head.

    And the commentators praising him for being so tough was also idiotic. Not a good message for kids who play footy.

    He's a New South Welshman. Will certainly get a better run at it than the Renshaw's of this world

    Just now, whatwhat say what said:

    konstas is a kid

    surprised by yr attitude towards him @Ghostwriter given yr fervent defense of the mfc kids

    he's played four tests; plenty of time to grow into the role

    I’ve not met a single MFC kid who is cocky and ahead of himself like Konstas is, not even close.

    I don’t doubt he’ll become a great batsman but he needs to remember he’s not there yet.

    He absolutely lost me when he told Jasprit to “get back to your mark!” That’s disrespectful to say the least. Says a lot about him character-wise.

    unnecesarily harsh

    players on ground say all sorts of rubbish; there's many stories about the dees circa 2015-19 being VERY lippy

    they won't be the first, nor the last

    We let warner go on 1 summer to late. Should never have let him dictate when he got to retire. We needed to settle on an opening pair ages ago.

    Mind you usman isn't going much better

    So the tigs are 1 win behind us.

    Compare their list to ours and that’s pathetic but probs sums up our season and where we r at unfortunately.

    I’m absolutely scratching my head that they’re only one win behind us.

    Admittedly, Essendon have such a lengthy injury list that it’s now an automatic 4 points when you play Essendon till the end of the season.

    i live in thanks that we won't lose to them twice in a season, as playing an injury-ravaged peptides is exactly the sort of game where we kick 7.21 to lose by 3 or so goals

    What’s with the media making excuses for Essendon?

    This was their spine against Richmond:

    B: Laverde, Ridley, Redmond

    Mid: Merrett, Duursma, Durham, Tsatas

    Forward: Wright, Kako, Caddy

    On top of Setterfield, Prior, McGrath and Clarke.

    Still enough quality there to beat Richmond.

    Injuries are a reason, never an excuse. Dogs and GWS have done extremely well in face of personnel and injury concerns.

    would be a perfect end to the weekend to see port lose at home to the eagles, also we play these mugs in a few weeks without jack graham

  • Quote

    Swans season alive according to Derwayne. They’re three games and percentage out of the 8 with four games to play.

    “Mathematically possible”, I guess. Them winning 4 on the trot and neither Bulldogs or Freo winning again seems fairly long odds.

    Edit: it can be any two of Freo, Bulldogs, Hawthorn, Suns, GWS or Geelong to have to lose 4 on the trot, as well as Sydney going WWWW. Anyway, not happening.

    • PODCAST: 2026 Season Preview

      The boys previewed the 2026 Season sharing their early impressions of the new coach, the new players, observations from preseason training, and what they've made of the new game style. They also look ahead to the season with their predictions, the players they expect to rise, their expectations for the team, and what they see as a realistic pass mark for Melbourne in 2026.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      When the Demons blew their 46-point lead at Marvel Stadium in Round 20 last year, the fallout was enormous. Like an event straight out of a Shakespearean tragedy, Melbourne’s final-quarter collapse left fans reeling and the club grappling with the aftermath.

    • PREGAME: St. Kilda

      With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

    • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

      Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      The Dees ran another clinic for the second week in a row as they easily accounted for the Tigers in the lightning interrupted shortened match at Mars Stadium in Ballarat.
