For the first time, I'm prepared now to believe that Jesse's gone. Scully-like performance.

 

All day our bludgers trailed behind their opponent. Some of them didn't even get that close.

I hope landers predicting massive wins in the future just STFU

They broke even in the contest and just ran us off our legs.

When will we learn.

I am going to trawl through the Roos era and see our record in games we have gone in as favourites. Cannot remember a single win.

I dare say there will be some changes for next week.

This was a danger game. Don't want to see M Jones play another game for Melbourne.


Hogan cost us a goal when he gave away that free when jones was sealing a goal

I had to run with something to keep that bad feeling away,..

Throw Lamumba on that pile as well. he can rot at Casey with the other Collingwood spud Dawes.


I called this result 3 [censored] months ago and was hounded down as it was too laughably cynical. This was the most sure of sure wins, everyone said. Suggesting it would be a repeat of our embarrassing "sure thing" losses to Carlton, Essendon and St Kilda in 2015 was criticised.

Well there it is, folks. There it is! We did it, AGAIN. Once again we let the easiest opportunity for 2 in a row completely evaporate. And to the drug cheats of all [censored] clubs!

I just knew we would lose this match. The more things change the more they seem to stay the same with this club. 

Still haven't won 2 in a row. Losing to a top up team. Players not putting in. Hogan being a sook. 

Not good enough and frankly embarrassing.

Fark it's hard to be a Melbourne supporter. Honestly wish we would relocate under another name and put us out of our misery.


We just didn't want to run. And we couldn't win the contested ball despite boasting superior inside mids. Lack of effort across the board, pure and simple.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

    The Dogs reigned supreme in 2018 with an inaugural AFLW premiership cup and the Demons matched this feat by winning the cup as the Season 7 2022 champions.Meggs wasn’t born when the Doggies won their first VFL premiership cup against the Demons in 1954. Covid prevented many Demons fans from legally witnessing the victorious 2021 AFL Grand Final cup performance between the Demons and the Bulldogs, but we all grin when remembering those magnificent seven third quarter goals.

  • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

    Hawthorn and Melbourne. Two teams with impressive form from last week but with seasons that are travelling on different trajectories meet in Saturday’s twilight game for what could well be the most intriguing contest of the AFL’s penultimate round. Sadly, the game has been relegated to that unappealing time slot in the weekend when Melburnians are typically preoccupied with activities other than football. It falls between the morning's shopping, afternoon sport and recreation, and Saturday night fever. A time usually reserved for relatively insignificant events but this one is not a nothingburger for either of the clubs or their fans.

  • AFLW: 2025 Season Preview

    Ten seasons. Eighteen teams. With the young talent pathway finally fully connected, Women’s Australian Rules football is building momentum and Season 2025 promises to be the best yet. In advance of Season 10, the AFL leadership has engaged in candid discussions with all clubs regarding strategies to boost attendance and expand fan bases. Concerningly, average attendances in 2024 were 2,660 fans per match, with the women’s game incurring an annual loss of approximately $50 million.

  • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

    The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

  • CASEY: Brisbane

    The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

  • PREGAME: Hawthorn

    The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?
