Scully great hands in close along the wing. Shocking free kick against him for holding it.

Dees make turn over... Rivers running on to it.... point! 1st is done.

28 vs 2 points Freo up.

Can we really be this badly coached or is it just first game nerves or travel. The whole idea is to get better, not worse. At this rate, the spoon is ours.

Sick of Miller already.

    Watching this quarter was like banging my head against the wall.... painful and pointless.

    On the bright side, Scully's hands are bloody amazing!!!

    Hahah I have my helmet on already!!!

    Look very good, his pace and ability to follow up to the next contest and go again also a highlight.

    I've really enjoyed watching footy this weekend, went to Saints vs Pies Friday night with some mates, watch Swans vs Blues and North v Cats today. I am not enjoying this just yet.

    For goodness sake, it's the first quarter of the NAB Cup.

    We're not going to start this suicide crap all over again, are we?

    We were never going to improve out of sight in one season. It's going to be a slow process, so enjoy the ride and stop with the panic. I almost forgot how painful this place is whenever we play poorly!

    What we hope for is continued improvement, we have a lot of kids granted but we just aren't improving. I know it is the first quarter of the NAB cup but we are still playing the same way. No highlights not enough inside 50m our transit from defense into attack is still very very poor. We are playing the biggest front running team in the comp, if we don't show something in the next quarter we might get done by 10 goals.

    I think our game plan is keep it in there half and wait until we make a mistake

    nothing has seemed to be going right today

    Whats strauss number?

    47, had a kick coming out of defence mid way through qtr. Nothing on. Rivers was standing in between 3 Dockers pointing to a spot in front of him, Strauss kicked it to Rivers while he was stationary.. turn over...

    scully's hands on show. can't get any flow into our game. dockers are rebounding well and preventing us doing the same. brad green looks a little unsure which is unusual. moloney trying hard. davey struggling to get into the game.

    morton is trying hard and looking ok.

    funnily enough we are getting hands on it at clearances just not hitting targets or finding clear targets upfield.

    Come round 1, not sure I want to sit through a 100 point flogging.

    Yes it`s ugly but steady on people. Its Round 1 NAB Cup. In fact it`s quarter time.

    relax people, we will have quarters like those this year. young footy side

  • Quote

    A lot of nervous boys out there but christ no onw working into space

    again we continue to kick to a contest where numbers are against us. We set really poorly

    against set plays. Sandilands palmed it in Ballantyne's lap and he's 10metres in the clear.

    No passion so far Dean light a fire under these boys.

    Just stupid game plan.

    We are the same as last year

    Pavlich and Balantyne are loving it

    Don't go overboard yet my man. Lets see how they run the game out...

    Jetta good pick up in the middle... looking for someone by hand.. turn over... Docks having shot on goal. Goal

    Healy riding us for terrible skills. They are giving Bennell a touch up according to Healy and Jacko.

  • Quote

    Another goal

    the only thing I've liked today is scullys hands

  • Quote

    I tell you what... the umpires/AFL rules on the holding the ball is shocking...

    We are looking crap but it is only one qtr

  • Quote

    After hearing some nice reports over the summer and hoping for a decent contest tonight

    well I guess we are going to battle getting out of the bottom 4

    Another goal now and we are 27 points behind this isn't looking good early

    Bennell has made some bad mistakes early, loving scullys hands, nothing looking good forward

    Some of our more experienced players like Davey, Green, Miller and Rivers are letting us down. We need a lot more out of them.

    Just one of those games like the adeladie game last year where i cant see us kicking a goal. And that is pretty sad.

  • Quote

    I'm just not getting the rules... how was that a hold...it was worse than the one against warnock and Jacko is so one eyed

  • Quote

    Twice Morton has tried to spoil and half hearted them both. He needs to put on 10 kgs and go hard at it.

    • Thank You Simon Goodwin

      As Demon fans, we’ve ridden a rollercoaster of emotions over the decades; the heartbreaks, the near misses, the wooden spoons, and the endless waiting. But through it all, we clung to hope. And then came Simon Goodwin. Before he ever wore red and blue, he was a champion in his own right. A five-time All-Australian, two-time Best and Fairest, and two-time premiership hero and Captain with Adelaide, Simon Goodwin was always destined to lead. When he transitioned from the field to the coach's box, first as an assistant at Essendon, he began shaping a new legacy.

    • PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      Long ago and far away, the Melbourne Football Club replaced its coach in difficult circumstances after the team suffered a devastating loss. In the aftermath, I penned the following words: “Then came the politics, the intrigue, the axing, the sound of the football world laughing at a club, the circling of the media vultures, the reinvention of history, the anger, the irony, the pathos, the hurt on the face of the president, the dignified departure of the coach, and the determination of the newly appointed caretaker.” Today, we’re back in the same place although one difference here is that the coach who was terminated this time is Simon Goodwin, the man who four years ago

    • REPORT: West Coast

      The Charles Dickens novel, A Tale of Two Cities, opens with, “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, …”  This phrase highlights many of the significant challenges that humanity encounters in life, ranging from experiencing remarkable highs to living in times of despair. This is a concept that should resonate with all supporters of the Melbourne Football Club this morning as they reflect on its comprehensive 83-point victory over the struggling West Coast Eagles at Marvel Stadium. The outcome proved beyond doubt that they are the worst of clubs and that we are the best of the worst.

    • PREGAME: Western Bulldogs

      With only 3 games to go, all against Top 8 fancies, the Demons face a daunting task as they return to the MCG when they play the Western Bulldogs. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      The Demons return to town fresh off a thumping win over the back-to-back wooden spooners, the West Coast Eagles, played in front of a sparse crowd at Marvel Stadium, the same venue that hosted last week's heartbreaking loss.
