Not what we needed after the [censored] news on Thursday. Can't see this doing much for team morale.

    Great idea to choose Hawks as an opponent...

    Huh? playing Hawthorn was not our choice. But even if it was, it is not a bad idea.

    Roos has said an indicator of improvement will be how we respond to a run on like Hawthorn has just had,

    Over to you boys.......

    Just what we didn't need heading into the season proper, a good showing by the 'Aints, and a shellacking for us.

    Wish the preseason had finished after last week's games

    I think it is actually. No better way to sit down and watch video of where we went wrong against easily the best team in the comp who are pretty much at full strength today. Great learning experience with the new game plan for me.

    That being said, it will be interesting to see how we respond

    Gives us more to prove going into round 1. But yes, this will definitely be a reality check.

    At least this is against the reigning premiers - if we were being smashed by Brisbane then I'd truly be worried, but the Hawks are red hot at the minute, so this is no surprise.

    Now let me state right from the outset, I believe the Spencer experiment should have been terminated years ago and I have stated that very clearly to the last 2 Coaches.

    Just interested in how the big Spud is going today.

    i'm sure they would have both loved hearing from you, with all of your credentials and vast coaching experience.

    Or conversely have all the confidence and momentum gained wiped away in one arvo.

    I think both clubs organised to play each other, not the afl.

    I might be on my own but I would've preferred to play a bottom 6 team.

    Perhaps they should have, as I'm FAR more successful in my vocation than either of those 2 failures. Whatsmore let's not even speak about the Recruiting Manager that brought him to the Club.

    • 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.

    • PREGAME: Rd 18 vs North Melbourne

      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.
