Show some pride MFC and have a dip. This is a pathetic display. Next season’s membership renewal is looking pretty grim if they are going to dish up more of this slop in the 2nd half🤮

 

I love that we are trying some new positions as you learn things. I have already seen enough of the Bowey at half forward. Can we please get him back at half back off the back of the stoppages.

Please put Viney to half forward (preferably to pressure and not get the ball) and move Rivers into the middle.

Better quarter effort wise and once we put Howes to Gunston but we are just being shown up by a slick outfit with something to play for.

    Should’ve paid 50 m as well. That would’ve shut them up.

    At the game. There are 4 umpires. 2 are miles away and none of them stand on the skinny side of the ground so they can throw it all you like and nobody sees it. Whoever runs the umpires needs to go.

    Better umpiring in the o&m

    It was just on the siren. But the umpire should have given the ball straight to petty, not hold onto it & wait for the hawks players to get back. I know he didn't get the distance but give him a chance

    I’m thinking of leaving to get home in time to watch the women play. At least they seem to care.

    This margin really flatters us. They missed some gettable shots. Should be 10 goals down.

    Would be lovely to see something different in the middle because if we can’t get on top in clearances we will get slaughtered. Giving Hawks first use so they can run and carry and hit targets with precision is not going to work.

    Our best ball user at centre half forward is hard to watch

    On this performance we may not get a single applicant for the coaching job.

    Perhaps we will then become known as the Melbourne Diabolicals.

    If the free is paid and they're wrestling with the kicker - shouldn't that be 50m?

    Wouldn’t be a bad idea to swap Turner forward and JVR back.

    Also, this is the perfect match where they should have had 4 substitute umpires on the bench. At least three of them should’ve been dragged by now. Have an umpires coach on the bench and take them through the vision to see the error of their ways.

    Look are we surprised? Look at what the hawks did to the pies last week.

    This side is hungry for finals & they can also finish top 4.

    We are thinking about 6 months off

    Ah ok, thanks I didn’t see that

    We used to get the contested possessions which covered a lot of deficiencies in system and skill. Once we can’t win the ball we look like an under age team playing against a senior team. The Hawks know all they have to do in a contest is handball/throw the ball to the outside and they have guys waiting to receive and run.

    Mark Howard is the most biased commentator in have ever heard. Granted the dees are awful but he is absolutely just barracking on the microphone. It couldn't be more one sided if it was a pro Hawks special. Really giving me the [censored]

    Pickett, Langford, Rivers and Bowey would make this game interesting at centre bounces. We are going to lose, but seeing something different makes this game more interesting.

    Yep & luke bruest was also on the field meaning the hawks had an extra player. If the interchange stewards were alert they should have paid 50

    • GAMEDAY: St. Kilda

      It’s Game Day, and 205 days have passed since the final siren sounded at the MCG, bringing Melbourne’s 2025 season to a close and marking the end of an era. In just a few hours, a new chapter begins for the Demons. What are you most hoping to see from Melbourne today?

    • 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.
