    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

    usman's form is as bad as warner's was

    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.

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.

    • PREVIEW: North Melbourne

      Can you believe it? After a long period of years over which Melbourne has dominated in matches against North Melbourne, the Demons are looking down the barrel at two defeats at the hands of the Kangaroos in the same season. And if that eventuates, it will come hot on the heels of an identical result against the Gold Coast Suns. How have the might fallen? There is a slight difference in that North Melbourne are not yet in the same place as Gold Coast. Like Melbourne, they are currently situated in the lower half of the ladder and though they did achieve a significant upset when the teams met earlier in the season, their subsequent form has been equally unimpressive and inconsistent.

    • REPORT: Adelaide

      The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.
