We are an average team trying to play like millionaires. Get the ball forward, keep it in there, and run both ways. Our forwards are allowing the transition.

Gee, Kent is a disappointing footballer. So lazy. One handed grab casually through the middle.

Football. Foot to ball.

 

Seems pretty simple.

Seriously, this thread is a disgrace.  To those using this as their updates because they can't watch - both sides are over using it, both sides have dropped marks because of the rain and both sides have kicked a couple.  If we make ONE mistake on here 15 posters go ape.  Just settle.

We are playing well. But we're 1 point in front.

For all the domination, we concede shitty goals from [censored] mistakes, and don't score due to mistakes as well.

Wise we are playing ok, but if we stopped handballing it especially when we can get it long into the f50 we would be in a better position. 

So many dumb handballs kill us. The one in the centre after a turn over means a long kick in equals at worst a one on one.

i think we're doing some things well - attack on the ball, and the ball-carrier - and other things poorly - disposal, kicking to the 'right' spots, being the favourites of the maggots, etc.

Not he only one mate. We've handled the conditions well so far. Big breeze across the ground and extremely slippery.

Reading here you'd think we're down by 10 goals already.

Never said quality.  Said okay.  Anyone would think we're behind by 10 goals going by this thread.

Granted, I'm not watching, but these threads always feel like they are focused on the mistakes and then spontaneously celebrate goals, then revert back to the mistakes.

Surely if we're winning at quarter time, +18 in disposals, +13 CPs, +1 clearances, +1 tackles and +9 inside 50s, we must be doing something right?

    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
