I count 15 that would like us to not win another game this year. 15 so called Melbourne supporters. You can spin it how you want but I'd prefer they went and stunk up another club.

I've been a member for many year...... My family have been members for many year..... I've put in my hard earn money, when the club was dying.... You CAN GET [censored]!!!!

 

Win them all.

But If we lose the next 4 games, I'll then be on the tank bandwagon.

May as well make the most of a horrible season by getting picks 1, 2, 13ish, and Jack Viney.

BBP if we lose the next 4 mate you will not have to worry about tanking we will finish last

No tanking required what so ever

I think we really need to change this losing culture. Get the players wanting to win at all costs, what has losing gain us? After so many years down the bottom we're still contemplating draft picks.

 

I think we need to think big in this game .I want to physically crush them and smash them in all areas of the ground.I want them seriously questioning their decision to ever sign with a fake team.

I liked that Neeld said "we need to address out win-loss ratio" in the latest coaches office...

Reckon the boys will be primed for Sunday.

WE ARE A BAD TEAM

Yes we are a terrible team but I still think we'll finish with 5 wins.

I think PA and the Dogs will eke out a few more wins.

Dogs wont win anymore - I dont even think they want to either.

I watch the Dees games just hoping to see improvement out of the talent we have,

the scoreboards irrelevant to me thesedays, theres no point robbing Peter to pay Paul.

McKenzie out this week with a groin - he played sore with no rotations left on the bench last week, Jetta will get a game so Neeld can have a look at him.

The boys honestly believe they can win this week even though there is only 27 on the list available to pick from.

Neeld thinks we are a good shot this week.

WE ARE A BAD TEAM

Couldn't agree more, we are bad, I have always tried over the past 5 years to stay positive but this year we have seen our senior players take a huge drop in form, Jamar, Green, Davey, Moloney have been nowhere near their best, Frawley has struggled, our midfield is the worse in the AFL. Jones, Howe and McDonald have improved, the rest are the same or gone backwards.

How many wins who knows it could be 2-3 or it could be none, it won't be tanking we are just bad. I do feel we need to manage our players to ensure every required player is fit for the start of pre-season, we can't control what injuries occur and if players stay fit you keep playing them but there is no point bringing players back for 2-3 games, considering we play Adelaide and Fremantle at Subi in the last 2 weeks.

The way we are heading, we might have a repeat of Freo last year where they almost ran out of players to choose from for the final round.

Meanwhile Juice Newton and Nathan Carroll sit by the phone patiently.

Nathan Carroll would be a walk up start in this side - probably even now.

Juice wouldn't be much help anyway - injured as well.

Ironic given we are playing Freo in Freo. Everyone on the list should play because its likely we will only have 22 to choose from the way we are going...

Could be a farewell game for quite a few players...

At least I'll be there to say goodbye to Greeny if this is his final game. Great servant to the club


High draft picks haven't worked - debate the reasons elsewhere: poor picks, poor development, poor culture, poor leadership on and off field?

What we need is to regain a winning culture -- and the best way to do that is to start winning, aiming to win every game by as big a margin as possible. Play 100 per cent for 100 minutes, or as Barassi says 6000 seconds. No respite for our players nor their opponents.

  • 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.
