I miss Harmes !

At least he offers some run off half back. Michie is slow and has turned it over almost every time he's had it.

 

 Dear Coaching staff - EFFEN WELL TAG GIBBS!!!!!!!! 

Need to shut down Gibbs and Cripps. 

Big big big big second half required. Did I say enough bigs? 

 

They can do no wrong, but momentum really turned in the middle of that quarter. That free against Bernie really wasn't a free kick and I suspect the umpire knew it after he paid it. 

Really dissapointed in the midfield this week. The contested ball numbers are out of control.

Strangely I still have faith. Just need a few things to click as our forward line has the ability to get it done if we get in down there quickly. 

Viney looks to be struggling. Not sure if he's had a different role the last few weeks but he seems to just be late to the ball instead of in and under.

why is stretch in such panic seems to have lost confidence in 1 week

Let's see what the coaches can do with them at half time!

Are there any coaches here today ? :huh:

Game so far wouldn't indicate it :unsure:

If we lose this game and then come out and smash Geelong i might have to find another club. 

Could have drafted Cripps ahead of Salem. Jason Taylor's decision?

It really didn't. He stood exactly where he was and realised only too late that he wasn't in the right spot. He still would have marked it if he'd jumped at the right time.

Yeah that kick from watts was perfect.

reckon we brought anb & Michie in to counter the wet weather... too bad it's not raining!! 


We will win, clean up inside 50's and have a crack in the middle

Team selection again baffling. 

For one Pedersen ahead of Weiderman would help. Weids will be good but he isn't ready and we need to win right now! 

Michie is useless. Soooo slow. I guess we expected rain. He can take Bugg and go back to the VFL. 

Viney, Jones and Gawn having shockers. How can we win like that?

So were you saying the same thing against Hawthorn????  

too many doing too little

I can't stand to watch the second half. I'll watch the replay if we win but for now I'm off for a very wet lunch.

Cmon, boys!

89% DE says otherwise. He's been average but there's no need to be silly about it.

Most of the team are playing like puss here. Scapegoats might ease the pain but that's the reality.

Sometimes you can see the required intensity, and hunger for the contest even though you are a fair way behind on the scoreboard, and that always gives you hope.

 

We are being annihilated in the contest, and are looking as flat as a tack. I have very little confidence that we can finish in front.


Last year we were behind by 47 points at half-time and outscored then by 24 in the second half.  It was too little too late. 

My gut feel is we'll win this and if we do it will show a new level of maturity.

Great response from Dom Tyson (after a poor start). He was influential in the second quarter, part the reason we clawed back into the game.

I bloody hope so.

About the only positive I can find at the moment is that we have played like almost total crap, but are still in the game on the scoreboard.

  • PREVIEW: North Melbourne

    Can you believe it? After a long period of years over which Melbourne has dominated in matches against North Melbourne, the Demons are looking down the barrel at two defeats at the hands of the Kangaroos in the same season. And if that eventuates, it will come hot on the heels of an identical result against the Gold Coast Suns. How have the might fallen? There is a slight difference in that North Melbourne are not yet in the same place as Gold Coast. Like Melbourne, they are currently situated in the lower half of the ladder and though they did achieve a significant upset when the teams met earlier in the season, their subsequent form has been equally unimpressive and inconsistent.

  • REPORT: Adelaide

    The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.

  • CASEY: Coburg

    The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

  • PREGAME: Rd 18 vs North Melbourne

    After four weeks on the road the Demons make their long awaited return to the MCG next Sunday to play in a classic late season dead rubber against the North Melbourne Kangaroos. Who comes in and who comes out?

  • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

    The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
