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

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

      It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

      The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

      The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem   

      Salem proved to be a valuable contributor as a reliable and solid one-on-one medium-sized defender in what was undoubtedly his most impressive season since the premiership year. He remains a highly capable rebounding option for the Demons as he approaches his 200th game at the club.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

      Following an injury-interrupted start to the season, McVee struggled to maintain the standard he established in 2025 as he pursued an expanded role within the team structure. He remained a firm fan favourite and the club had hoped to negotiate a new contract with the former rookie selection from Western Australia, whose partner, Lily Johnson, plays for Melbourne's AFLW side. Those hopes were dashed when he expressed his desire to return to his home state and play for Fremantle. Like all players who have worn the red and blue and are leaving this year, we wish him well in the future.
