Not looking great. We're still close enough to get back in the game if we can actually make something of our forward 50 entries. They're taking tons of intercept marks and rebounding with ease. 

Steven May goes alright. Hope we can bring him across this off season...

Might just take a peek at the candidates for pick four in the draft. FMD.

Still, there's a half to go.

This club is just disgusting.  Year after year they talk a lot and then expect their supporters to suck it up!  Essendons young kids developing quicker than ours, Gold Coast are 16th and yet we serve up this garbage!  This is crunch time for this club.  Bye next week then the pies!  Crowd will be lousy if we lose this one.

Nothing wrong with the kids and how they are tracking. It is the limited impact and lack of leadership of those with experience Jones, Lewis, Tyson, T-Mac, Watts etc..

These blokes would have to be the most OVERATED, OVERPAID pack of nancy boys I have ever seen play the game!!!! Promise so much but deliver bugger all. Have been following this miserable bunch now sine 1964, never will see success as there seems to be an ingrained culture of non-success. Far too many players accepting of defeat, either not willing or capable (or both) to do the hard yards required. No wonder Scully left! And if Goodwin had any brains he would quit before pushed and his reputation stained forever. Season over, club over!!

Reckon I could ask the club for a refund on my ticket for this insipid effort.  Should have known they are flat when they came out for there warm up and just walked out. We better see a better effort next half.  

How the hell did we beat Adelaide?

Posters might prefer TMac take a leaf out of Jack Watts's book & just avoid contest all together

Surely you jest, you think he would want to come to us.

Might get howled down for this, don't care.

Oliver needs to kick the ball more and handball less. Sure his handballs are quick, but their effectiveness has dropped off remarkably. The game is called football, not handball.

This is like watching the old Dandenong Redlegs in the VFA

This Alice springs thing is ridiculous. Pre-season sure, but playing an interstate side away from the G as a home game is just amateur stuff. We are nomads and nomads without a connection to home. Are we Casey? Or Melbourne or Junction oval St kilda? 

We play like a team without a soul. Because we're a club without a soul. Our soul and identity should be the MCG and only the MCG 

We've won one game at the G this year. Stop blaming the ground for this garbage display of football.

Tom McDonald unbelievably bad. 3 marks with in 55m for a return of a handball to someones foot, a lob to Hannan vs May when within range and just a pathetic shot at goal.  All while the superstar Leslie takes 5 intercept marks in a half.

Jordan Lewis, refuses to chase, maybe it would be acceptable if he could actually hit a target.

Forward line is a joke, bunch of plodders who you have no confidence with when kicking for goal (ANB, Bugg, Harmes).

Watts leading well in the first quarter and dropping everything. 

Frost is always pathetic in the first 10 minutes of games, needs a new routine. 

Out: Viney Watts Neal Bullen,( anyone else think he can play??) Duffus Brothers,Tyson, Lewis (whats up with him?) Harmes 

Inns: Picket Fence, Deestroy all, Dazzle Davey, Uncle Bitter , Hemmingway, Nasher, Redleg, Chris from Camberwell, Bezzlebub , Saty, My 94 year old mother and anyone else that gives a Damn 

Goody ??? Is Dennis Jones available to coach?? 

Seriously embarrasing!!

Yep for all the noise this club makes after a win...Ive realised its just talk. There are a few players who for them this is just a job. Thats fine in a way, because it is.

But for clubs that win flags its more than that. Its a chance to be heroes and to live for the ages. Not much of that passion running through most of these guys it seems.

Goodwin needs to tell Lewis he has a half of footy to prove to Melbourne Supporters that Clarko was wrong about him.

Couldn't help but cringe after Round 1 when Lewis said Goodwin jokingly said he could play for 5 more years (or something along those lines). Doesn't provide anything close to what was advertised.

Whats wrong with Watts? Has done nothing...... like last week He is our second biggest and fifth experienced. He plays the occasional blinder but they seem far and few between. I thought he would keep getting better. 

 

Has taken ONE mark.

Watts is back to the old Watts. He's been terrible. Soft, slow and not switched on.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.
