Neale bullen is nowhere near up to afl. Him and Newton are the typical Melbourne player. Look great in the 2's but can't step up. Unless hogan learns how to kick I don't care if we lose him. 

Harsh on Neal Bullen. 

Newton is a placeholder.

Whatever spin you put on it this is pathetic. Young, tired, out coached, lack of effort, Alice Springs...pathetic.

Hogan would be an elite if he could kick straight but his kicking is close to atrocious.

I felt like half our players didn't even try today. I think us supporters should feel let down. We know we wont make finals now.

Well done Max. Watts needs to be more consistent as does garlett. Kennedy and tyson absolute shockers. Not a few young players looked out of place.

I hope MFC pack in the NT games....we never win them its almost as bad as ETHIAD

Its official ten years without a finals berth

Okay we don't look like we will pull this out of the fire. And there is another one.

I actually don't think we are any better then last year, we have just had a good run.

We are yet to beat any in form team. Until we can beat top 8 teams we don't deserve to be in finals

The coaches and club should be called out on going to Alice Springs.  The Club for making the decision, the coaches for a game plan that has more holes than Swiss cheese.

As for players....they are likely to lose the next 5 games . Players should have been up for this one but now won't be singing the song for a while.

Good coaching is having a game plan that suits your team and gets the best out of them. We have a gameplay that whilst I think it is shithouse, requires us to run hard to defend. That run hard bit, making an effort and caring is something we never seem to do.

is the problem the coaching ? or the complete lack of effort ?

Newton. Done and dusted. Thanks for playing. 

Yep. Shows our weakness. We need smooth outside player with good pace and footskills.

Instead we are playing Newton on the wing.

This team has no defensive structure whatsoever today. They are slicing through and going over the top over and over again. The tackling and skills are abysmal. Turnovers, dropped handballs, dropped marks even when there is no pressure on the receiver. Disgraceful.

Just too young, we can not cover when 8 or 9 are off the boil.

    THE ACCIDENTAL DEMONS by The Oracle

    In the space of eight days, the Melbourne Football Club’s plans for the coming year were turned upside down by two season-ending injuries to players who were contending strongly for places in its opening round match against the GWS Giants. Shane McAdam was first player to go down with injury when he ruptured an Achilles tendon at Friday afternoon training, a week before the cut-off date for the AFL’s pre-season supplemental selection period (“SSP”). McAdam was beginning to get some real mom

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the

We'll break down the Match SIM against North Melbourne and wrap up the preseason with insights into training and our latest recruits.

    GAMEDAY: Match SIM vs North Melbourne

    After an agonizingly long off-season the 2025 AFL Premiership Season is almost upon us and the Demons have their first practice hit out against the Kangaroos in a match simulation out at Arden Street. The Demons will take on the Kangaroos in match simulation play, starting from 10am AEDT and broadcast live on Foxtel and Kayo. The play start time was brought forward from the initial 11am bounce, due to the high temperatures forecast.  The match sim will consist of four 25-minute qu
