There seems to be no method in entering our fwd line apart from bombing, which reaslly worked so well last week too. This crucifies our Fwds . We seem to be running back to make biggr packs and GWS are keeping the game closed when kicking against the wind.

Thinking would be a good start.

Bit disappointed with how things are going today. Would likle to see a better process in next half.

I do not think any of our forwards are getting many possessions. Two goals with a 6 goal wind is not good.

I hear ya. But you'll be back - we all will.

Now excuse me while I go kick the crap out of something whilst vomiting all over it. 

I'm with Gorgoroth on the anger getting worse. I'm certainly not getting used to this kind of crap happening. Today is the first time in years that I actually turned it off. When will it ever change? When will the gap between our best and worst be shortened and not be some massive Grand Canyon? Damage control, ever heard of it Melbourne? When a team is getting a run on you look to slow things down. Wasn't that the whole point of employing a guy for 3 years on bloody good money for? To learn this? And to use it when we darn well needed it? 

I will be back next week. Of course I will, I'm not married, I don't have kids, I don't have a house of my own which I can just go out into the backyard and do some work on. This is my life. That 10 mins of good footy was what I work 45-50 hours a week for. Damn MFC give us some hope!

Hate saying this ...but we look spent!

Cant afford to drop games like Nth x 2 times & freo...should have been on 12 wins already & will struggle to make the 8

Not Watts  bashing but reality is has done nothing in 3 weeks since his return...Surely can't be injured & has touched the ball 2 times thus far FFS!

So Goodwin's big move is put a defender into the backline? Wow. 

We are getting smashed in the midfield. How about put Garlett Salem and Hunt in there and try something different?

All we are doing is the same [censored] over and over again expecting a different result. 

We are loose, soft and unaccountable.

We won't struggle to make the 8. We will comfortably miss out on the 8.

Max Gawn Neville Jetta Bernie Vince Jordan Lewis Corey Maynard Michael Hibberd Christian Salem Clayton Oliver all having a go. Rest of the team need    to lift their performance.

Thanks for the season Dees. Thanks to all the posters here who have given me some laughs and insights.

Hope we can regroup and win 2 more games this year and come back next year and play finals.

Not winning last week was a reality break and today is a pretender playing a contender,

It was fun while it lasted but we all got too far ahead of ourselves.

Get rid of some of list cloggers and get a second decent forward aside from Hogan and we may make it.

Time to mow the lawn.....its more interesting than this lack of effort.

Einstein had something to say about that :(

Turning point of the season. 

Even if we somehow make finals, we will get smashed first up. 

I shall be comfortably sipping cocktails in Vietnam come September and our players will be doing the same for the 12th year in a row.

I'm a massive Watts apologist. Hate when people don't pump him up. If we're for real he has to be dropped. Weed wouldn't have done worse.

    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
