People aren't going to like this, but Petracca reminds me a lot of Jimmy Toumpas. A rich man's Toumpas. Slow but with good disposal.

Hunt looks as out of his depth as i've seen from an AFL football in years. Unfortunately. 

 

If this is at the MCG,as it should be,we win easily. Absolute joke. Why is the roof closed? AFL may as well give the four points to the Saints.


petracca big head not playing team footy

For the love of God, drop this zone defence [censored] and go with something unconventional like... I don't know... STICKING OUR BEST DEFENDER ONTO RIEWOLDT LIKE [censored] GLUE!

Why is Nev Jetta manning Nick Reiwoldt up!!

FFS sort ya stupid zone up Jade Rawlings!

EXACTLY. Salem has been on him too... Whist in charge of this defensive rabble? We know they can defend, I suspect we are being out coached.

 

We are playing like fIogs. Trying to handball our way through all the traffic, absolutely getting smashed on the outside. Tmac is gettinga hiding of Roo, i dont care about the Zone, FOOKIN PLAY SOME FOOKER ON REIWOLDT FFS!!!!!


[censored] hell, first Boomer Harvey and now Riewoldt. These guys could literally be 70 years old and still carve us up. Why isn't anyone playing near Riewoldt?

Half time of his first game (with double digit disposals no less) and Petracca has already been called the new Toumpas. Don't ever change Demonland.

Geezus, you have gone a bit early there havent you?

I waited a whole half of footy! That's longer than most Melbourne supporters wait for.

Reiwoldt too much latitude. No one wants to go near him. Has he had a contested possession? 

Bugg needs to be dropped, his handballing is hot potato stuff just get it away from me. CP5 very underwhelming on debut, back to Casey to learn how to pick up the ball and take the first option. Jack Watts of old is back. We need Oliver back

Its stupid and i hate it. Several times i have seen Jetta manning Reiwoldt.. WTF


Dunn and McDonald need a kick up the arse, pathetic defensive effort. I mean we also went in with two kids and they're struggling down back with the pressure. 

Midfield is getting a smashing and as soon as Saints have the ball we are 10 meters behind. 

It is looking ominous. I can see us getting belted unless we start dominating the clearances again. 

Hogan is a bit alright tho. 

Maybe that was our bad quarter....here's hoping.

Wagner, Hunt, Lamumba and Harmes - stop fumbling.

Please put a player on Reiwoldt.

Petracca, Vince, Tyson - handball at first option.

Please put a player on Reiwoldt.

Watts and Pedo - you are allowed to mark when the ball hits your hands.

Please put a player on Reiwoldt.

You dont have to stand still at a ball up, you are allowed to move.

PLEASE PUT A PLAYER ON REIWOLDT.

Mate im usually the first person on here to say how rubbish we are, but we are only 2 goals down at half time. 2 down when playing rubbish. We can still win this if we respond after the break.

Riewoldt has just worked out that we're playing zone defence, so he just puts himself in the "zone" of Jetta, Salem or Jones. Pretty easy to figure it out, but when they figure it out, we need to adjust. And we haven't.

And don't get me started about playing someone loose in defence.

This is our Achilles heel - when an oppo coach works out how to stifle our game, we don't seem to be able to respond, in the box or on the field.

Calling Petracca a rich man's Toumpas is not like calling him Cale Morton. Toumpas is still getting games. I'm comparing the two based on their playing style. Remember Jack Viney's first game? He looked amazing. Petracca simply looks promising.

A bit of history on me. I was a Toumpas defender right up until his trade. I still think he'll make a good footballer. Petracca's better than Toumpas already.

Demonland never change indeed!

 

Getting destroyed by Riewoldt one one good leg for the 2nd year in a row.

Someone smash him into the turf for [censored] sake

I felt this way during the Essendon game, but the good quarter never came. Mark my words, this is a repeat performance of that atrocity.

Need some serious scrutiny here over selection if players are this flat after a 5.5 day break; Blind Freddy could've seen Hunt/Wagner being exhausted, and add a debutant in Petracca to that combination and it's seriously lethal... in a bad way. Oliver would've been bloody handy after his 11 day break.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • POSTGAME: Collingwood

    Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.
