GAME DAY - Round 7

Featured Replies

Play Pedersen as ruckman next week.

Who cares about the hit outs, all are ruckmen are useless around the game, at least Pedersen can kick and mark.

 

Nobody seems able to kick any distance in the forward line

 

yes but in the light of 1973-1987, it's hardly a usable quote any more, surely!

That's an idiotic comment.


Hawks are treating us with absolute contempt - they just push off our tackles without raising a sweat and know they don't have to pressure us, just sit back and wait for us to turn it over then sprint forward into an open 50.

 

We're behind the ball again, literally but also metaphorically.

I think the modern game has gone past Roos.

Our problem in 2011 was that quick teams would destroy us, no matter how hard we defended.

It's still an issue 4 years later.

Our midfield essentially plays the role entirely of tagger. Our mids aren't damaging enough, so why tag them?

We break down coming out of defense.

We become pedestrian whenever a team gets a run on.

Our leadership is abhorrent.

Our skills are deplorable.

We are still a bad, bad football club.

Good luck, Jackson!

Well. you would have to think that we will be able to run the 2nd half out. The hawks have run hard all game. And we have barely bothered.

They must tire... and then we will strike! Right? Rope-a-dope?


Clarkson would be furious about Hawthorn today, they've been ordinary.

We are just less than a football side. Even Dermott is trying hard not to bully us in commentary.

Apart from McDonald we don't have a single winner on the ground

It's sad that after so many years and so many drafts we are still unable to field a team of AFL standard

Hartung... 15 disposals 1 Goal 100% Disposal Efficiency :blink:

Only against us

Dear Melbourne FC Twitter account,

I'm well aware of the scores. I wish you spent less time telling me how bad we are doing and more time telling me what is wrong with Salem #useless

Kindest Regards

I think Garland has played well.

Garlett has played his role.

Havent noticed Jones much. Tyson has had very little impact on the game all year.


Are we wearing concrete boots, they are running so much harder and quicker than us. It's glaryingly obvious.

Too many out there are a liability, and with Salem and Hogan added to the list, injuries are starting to decimate us. We aren't good enough to be missing 6 or 7 best 22 players.

That's not Paul Roos fault.

Roos is doing a good job with this lot, they are just sub par football players.

We've shanked our drafting the past decade, what do you expect Roos to do with this lot?

The only players that resemble AFL players on our list - are those that Roos drafted.

Vandenberg looks a level above most our other players most weeks.

Paul Roos footy is boring as [censored]

How the hell dos he expect to attract members with this [censored]. I wonder if he takes input from Goodwin and McCartneyy or if he thinks hes too perfect with his pathetic 'lets kick no goals every week' game plan

This is duller than last years Grand Final I'm afraid

Love the way Vanders is throwing himself at the contest in our fwd50.

Really working hard.


Has Tyson had a touch?

Yes, that kick on the back flank where brayshaw was open for 10 seconds, ignored him, put himself under pressure, kicked smothered resulting in a hawks goal. Sick of his shithouse disposal week in, week out

Our backline is the afl equivalent of the Russian front...

Edited by Wadda We Sing

high time some of senior players put their hand up tyson jones viv shocking not competive at all

Get fair dinkum Viv has played 10 games and has been given the job on Mitchell. Jones or Bernie should be on him. Stupid match up.

 

The toump ain't the quickest....

Slow hands too . Arrgh

Cant wait for the usual suckholes to come on here after the game to tell us how we really aren't that bad, and showed some positive signs,Hawks are a good side, we are young and inexperienced, low on confidence etc etc etc.

MFC are not making me regret buying whiskey instead of a membership.

  • PREVIEW: Carlton

    Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

  • REPORT: North Melbourne

    I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

  • CASEY: Werribee

    The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

    The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

    The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
