Without blaming 1 player & he had some mates with him... But player wearing number 4 couldn't muster not 1 tackle!

My concern is that tackling is a big part of Roos non negotiable & yet I just don't think its a part
of his dna....

    How come Toumpas is not on that list?

    Oh sorry we are talking about the top six not the bottom six.

    Feel better about yourself now OD?

    You sound very empathic Ethan? Do you detect that OD needs counselling? God knows he probably does. However you could better direct your skills to some of the real sickos on this site. I hesitate to name them (Stuie )

    In fact Demonland is full of weirdos and strange [censored]. FMD, the more I think about the more I should stay away from here.

    In fact I have serious misgivings about you Ethan.

    Man, you should stand on a busy street corner spouting this kind of absolute [censored] with a hat on the ground at your feet. You'd make a fortune. It would be very hard not to give something as clearly you are NQR

    BBO has 12 more posts than Moonshadow (5374 vs 5362). An amazingly small gap considering the large numbers at play. I'm starting to wonder if you're the same nutcase person, just replying to yourself all the time...

    Not possible! That would mean that I considered 12 of my posts unworthy of comment, when obviously everything I say is a (turd) pearl to be admired and polished!

    Thank you for pointing that odd fact out Nasher.

    It's like we are holding hands together in the Demonland journey of life (not that there's anything wrong with that). I can assure you that we are in fact separate nutcase people, as separate as we are from your nutcase self!

    Collingwood went on an amazing run. 9 straight goals i think? Down 38 and then never looked like losing, even when North hit the front again.

    What I noticed about Collingwood and even North at times is just an undeniable endeavour, true team play. Melbourne imo has far from the worst list in the league -- I'd put as above the Blues, Lions, Saints, Bulldogs (yes), Suns -- yet as Roos points out, once players loose that mental toughness in a game it's all about, "Well, we're going to lose, I'm going to play for myself now". No team capitulates quite like we do. Outscore 100 to 20 in 2 quarters of football, most of it coming in 1 quarter. That is something we should have left behind in 2013. Evidently, it's still present and has been present in two games this year. The Hawthorn game doesn't count because if we let them get on a role of dominance the same way GWS and Port did then we'd have lost by 200 points. Both GWS and Port started the game in 1st gear then went to 5th gear while Melbourne stays stuck in Neutral. Do you notice that we're not even that bad when we do actually get the ball in those patches? We just CAN'T. GET. THE. BALL. They chase and ball watch. They literally lose the intent to win the ball: can't hold tackles, can't string together possessions, can't get into space.

    We saw how hard they ran against Richmond and the Bulldogs. Our problem is right in the middle of the ground: unless the midfield plays 100% of the game at 100%, then the team completely breaks down.

    Our best is still good, but our bad is completely and utterly inept.

    When are we going to turn a corner?

    Collingwood have had a much easier draw than MFC.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
