As bad as it looks I can see it starting to come together.

You are a supreme optimist but good on you!
 

They are a tough playing group and recruit the same.. Have a tough totally uncompromising coach who just doesn't accept defeat and who never makes excuses. Just a couple of differnces from us.

Shits me how well North are going. We were right with them a couple of years back.

 

Let's be honest. That is where we are at. How we got there, who is to blame and what not is inconsequential in as far as moving forward. Mistakes have been made. Let's look at the game on it's merits.

We came in as a 5-1 chance today in a two horse race. That to me would say a five goal loss.

Negatives:

* run and spread is poor thus resulting in the huge disparity in possession.

* Hitting a target is also a problem.

* We need a target (s) up forward. Hurry up Mitch Clark and Chris Dawes.

* When the ball is going in fast to the opposition forward fifty, the back line looks shaky.

Positives:

* Max Gawn needs to be phased in as number one ruckman. Love his endeavour.

* The white flag wasn't run up. There was a little spunk shown up until the final siren.

* I'm thinking Shannon Byrnes is going to be a good pick up. He is having a go.

* Colin Garland = ditto.

No its not inconsequential. Blame is.

But that information if looked at properly, will show us where we've been wrong onfield, over the last 10 years, & so how we fix it.

our problems are no physical contests, & not defending against the oppositions players... Matthews is right.

too many Dumb Blond Bimbo's in the team.

Hey steve what medication are you on Can I have some


Agree to give others a go. In Dunn, Strauss, Taggert, Nicho. Out: Davey, Pedersen, Rodan and Terlich

It's more a matter that I never realised just how bad this team was. Sacking the coach will only make things worse.

Anyway, we're training well. We go extra well against the witches hats. Marvellous.

Oh, and our structures, systems, processes, fitness, key performance indicators and development are all tracking just beautifully.

Keep the faith ^_^

  • 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.

  • CASEY: Coburg

    The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

    After four weeks on the road the Demons make their long awaited return to the MCG next Sunday to play in a classic late season dead rubber against the North Melbourne Kangaroos. Who comes in and who comes out?

  • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

    The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
