This club, the players, supporters and media need to realise we are not top 8 material YET, any talk of it is just plain dumb.  We have a dearth of young talent still developing.  At best we are 10th - 14th, any other talk is rubbish.

my grizzle is aimed at senior players who do not lead when it is needed, it is an old chestnut but it is an accurate one.  

If anyone can tell me what the hell (apart from money) this club has gained by selling home games over the past10 years, I am happy to listen.  Screw selling home games, it should stop forthwith as soon as last contract ends.  The quality of all these games is poor and frankly worse than watching VFL.  I cannot see what benefit it is to developing players to be dragged to Alice Springs each year to get beaten.  It is a gift to Port Adelaide, and it was always a gift to Brisbane in the past. I'm over it!!!  

OUR HOME IS MCG!!!! 

Esssendon Richmond  'dreamtime' being promoted as the game of the day today on ABC today sums it up. both teams playing on our home ground whilst we play our home game thousands of miles away. both melbourne and port placed above rich/essendon on the ladder.

    There is no way port are a 7 better goal team than us. Its the same stuff as it awlys is when we lose. Don't man up hard enough, the opp players get the ball to easily, to many easy goals in there 50 today they just had loose players there all the time to get the ball over the back. At times we couldn't even hit a player 30 metres out on the chest, poor handballing and missing easy shots at goal. 

    Spot on. We are better than we played today and it why it is so annoying.

    Why were we so slow to get to contests? Why didnt our tackles stick?

    Melb was like the sound on my foxtel play which arrived 5 seconds after the action

    Yes the defence was under pressure but it needs to do better. That's their job. Cant give them a pass for being under the pump.

    We looked mediocre, we played mediocre, we're placed mediocre, we seem happy with mediocre. There was never a time today when a player, or players, looked [censored] off about being mediocre!

    Hogan looked [censored] off after a couple of his mediocre misses.

    BS, been available for a few games and you have made that assessment? Rising Star last week. McCartin has played 10 games in nearly one and a half seasons.

     

    Petracca has played 5 in a year and half so not sure what point you're making. We dont count mccartins injury to petraccas? 

    Paddy is strong, good contested mark and looks more promising as a future star.

    Didn't say Trac is a dud but saints got it right and got the better player.

    So McCartin clunks a few and he's the better player?

    I'll remind myself in future not to read your tripe as you clearly have no idea about football.

    Even if this were the case, they had the first pick... what's the point you're making? That St Kilda didn't [censored] it up when they had the first pick?

    I recommend taking a full day to recover after a loss before posting.

    Give it a few more hours mate.  After a loss we seemingly have plenty of these sorts of posts.  It makes for excruciating reading.

    Glad i played footy and did not have to watch any of the rubbish dished up. 

    Makes going to bed alot easier rather then being angry.

    Just so disappointed after watching that.  So much like watching games of the past several years.  And there's no VFL this weekend to go and watch to lift the spirits.

    Despite the calls that players of the likes of Dunn, Frost, Pederson and Dawes wouldn't have made a difference because of the over the back play, I disagree.  So many of our attacking (and poorly directed) 'bombs' to the forward line were to a 1-on-2 out-contested Hogan as the only decent stay at home forward.  But at least they usually made it to a contest, so usually the bombs had a chance.  But there was NO OTHER forward as a target.  NONE.  SAME DEFICIENCY AS LAST WEEK.   FFS when your 3rd forward, Watts, has to go and spend time in the ruck, leaving the whole front half basically dependent on one young guy in Hogan still learning his craft, what the F are the selection committee thinking????  We needed another forward / ruck in this team.  It would have helped our structure no end.

    If those entries into the fwd 50 had been better handled, there would have been far fewer rebounds for Port to run, carry and kick over the back for their goals.

    Kent consistently does nothing in first half of games.

    Our game plan requires 100% effort from all players on the ground. Our forwards were shocking. How many times did they waltz it out from defence. Kent, harmes, Garlett did jack.

    Rubbish. Tracc has only been injury free from about round 2, unless you are claiming he should've played last year on one leg. 

    Dumb logic.

    Mccartin > petracca

    I think they made the wrong call. I reckon Brayshaw will be better than both of them.

    • 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?
