AFL Round 7 (non MFC games)

jesus we better beat the Doggies.

Suddenly the wooden spoon looks within our grasp

 

Port have kicked themselves out of the game!

Pressure and tackling.

leaders standing up and dragging the younger kids = Lions on top.

Everything we lack.

 

Time to start playing for a priority pick??

We need a Brodie Grundy type ruckman

The dark reasons that forced Stefan Martin to leave are really starting to bite hard. Another awesome performance from him today. Johnathon Brown calling Martin most influential player and crediting for him setting up Brisbane's win against Port

 

Bulldogs are playing like a top 6 team for most of this year.

Team play, accountable football, confidence in one another, urgency, drive, aggression.

They will smash us by 10 goals. Bookmark it. We haven't turned the corner yet to beat them. They've turned that corner. We just need to pray we beat the Saints,Carlton and Brisbane.

Why, so the cracks get papered over with a couple of wins. This is another nothing season for us, whether we have any more wins for the year or not doesn't mean s h i t, what matters is that we can match it with anyone on any day. Can't see it happening, the team's confidence is shot and i can't see any chance of it coming back with our injuries, caretaker coach with nothing on the line, and 3rd rate list.

It seems we let the wrong player go and ended up losing both of them.

Without going into it, is it fair to assume that Mitch Clark has also cost us a player who is either the best or 2nd best ruck in the comp, and we got peanuts for him. Sigh.

Wow! Who's going to play on Dickson???

Does it really matter?

We may stop one person, but another will take its place.

Murphy will have a field day, I think I'll make Bont my captain in SuperCoach.

Trade out Stefan Martin, Keeps Jake Spencer..

Only at Melbourne.

We've got Mark 'I worked with Malthouse and therefore that makes me great' Neeld to thank for that one.


The wooden spoon looking increasingly within our grasp when even Brisbane can beat Port. Wow.

Little more complicated than that, but no less frustrating.

Agree HH. We lack a ruckman who can cover the ground, rack up the ball and take a grab like Jeff White in his heyday.

Melbourne Victory have just won the flag

Storm top the ladder

MFC lose by 105 points

Just saying....

Just saying...what, exactly?

The wooden spoon looking increasingly within our grasp when even Brisbane can beat Port. Wow.

The same Brisbane who lost to Gold Coast a fortnight ago by 11 goals?

Which is, of course, the same Gold Coast who lost to us? And St Kilda (who lost to Carlton)?

Demonland at its finest. Three weeks ago we had threads on here about us making the finals. Now it's about the wooden spoon. No middle ground. Only extremes.

A more reasoned, balanced view would be that young/inexperienced/poor sides have their ups and downs. Brisbane has shown both. And St Kilda. And the Dogs. Even the Gold Coast. And, if you can remember that first month, so have we. Remember, we comprehensively beat Richmond and Gold Coast, we beat GWS for a half (they're 5-2 and have beaten Hawthorn) and we matched it with Adelaide for most of the game (also 5-2).

We haven't had any respite in our fixture except for GC and Richmond, and funnily enough we dominated them both.

Just like we were never as good as some said we were after Richmond, we're not as bad as we some are saying we are now.

Just saying...what, exactly?

Co Tenants at AAMI Park

We must be training in the carpark by now

Melbourne Storm lose 2 Premierships and a years points and still bounce back

Victory 3 flags in 10 years

You would hope some of that would rub off onto the old Demons.....But no.....

And the reason Port struggled may be that Ollie was out? Double whammy sorry to bring it up yet again.

jesus we better beat the Doggies.

I don't think it was ever out of our grasp HH

  • 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.
