Coughed up a goal through another turnover at half forward.  If we can fix that up then we'll be okay.  Eagles too good on the rebound if we continue to do it, though.

It's partly why we brought Hibberd in.

Looks like Melbourne of old with some of our decision making

Gee whiz, what was Dom Tyson thinking...kick it down the line if you don't have any options in the middle. Not sure he is a certainty for round 1. Very average thus far.

Turnovers are the big difference here, eagles have made us pay more than we have made their errors costly.

To those who can't watch:

Turnovers are what is killing us.  Eagles didn't make it count though so we've got time to make amends.  For us, Oliver, Melksham and ANB have probably been the pick of the players so far.  It's not as bad as others are making out, though.  We are well and truly in the game.

Garland barely VFL standard.

Tough call, can't see why all the garland hate here. No mention that JOnes has turned it over 4 times

Poor decisions by senior players not taking first option particularly Vince, Jones and Tyson. Good around the ball and defensively but just bad decisions and no movement in forward 50 (with a ruck, watts, weid and hogan not surprising). ANB, Melksham and Oliver our best.

Ball movement - good with some glaring shockers.

Horrible team defence once WCE get the ball across our half forward line.

Appalling decision making after a mark on multiple occasions.

OMac seems to notice every opposition player except his direct opponent. 

Clarry is a gun.

The sun glare is ridiculous.

No one else annoyed about that lazy effort from Watts on half forward where he scrubbed a kick along the ground because he was too slow getting back behind the mark?

I'm annoyed, I just chose not to post about it as I thought the 20 others in here at the moment would be all over something negative.

Haha thanks for the update.

I assumed that we had actually lost all the players we thought we had and replaced them with the 2013 version...... and Neeld was back coaching.

It never is. 

Setting up well for the most part, a few mistakes have let them in.

I really hate Vince playing in the backline. Tom and Oscar have been poor. Hurry up Frost!

Garland has been handy so has ANB.

    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
