I'm ignoring this thread as I can't watch the game, I'm only going by stats.

Could someone who is sound of mind give me, and others in the same boat, a brief run down of the half.  It seems like we're having a dip but running into the same problems.

Richmond get an inside 50 and if they get a point or intercept mark me go long down the line every time, they get the ball back. Rinse and repeat.

Worst skilled side in the AFL. 

Effort has been fine. 

Game plan putrid. 

Refuse to switch. 

They have no idea what they are doing. 

Evert kick is to a pack.

Putrid football.

U watch last week? Same as that except Richmond arent fully switched on. Otherwide it would be 6+ goals.

At least tonight isnt raining. Goodwin has no idea how to adapt to a live plan.

We get sucked into the contest like seagulls and their is always tigers waiting for easy clearances it is really dumb football in slippery conditions 

What is with the continuous dependance on playing down the members wing [censored] me drunk.

We are clueless a mess.

Our effort and pressure is good.

Skills for both sides have been bad very fumbly and a lot of hack kicks forward due to the pressure.

We refuse to switch the play, constantly going down the line to contests where we are outmsnned and /or outsized

Richmond have kicked 2 goals off the deck due to 3 defenders going for the ball. Same old story.

Richmond have killed us in the centre clearances 7-2. Martin killed us out if the middle that quarter. Oscar has been very good, Lever serviceable in defence.

I saw enough.  I figured the same issues from last week have been rearing their ugly heads again.

Has our defence been any better?

Putrid football.  

And yet some refuse to blame the coach. We have to be the dumbest side going around. We kick to 3-1, we all go up in contests while they crumb goals out the back. We panic. We over handball. We are lost. 

What has happened to this team? We have gone so far backwards it’s frightening. Not one winner tonight except Oscar who has been solid all year.

Can always rely on you for an honest, balanced assessment, Doc.  Cheers.

The centre clearances are a real issue as it looks as though Gawn is dominating in the ruck and we are not taking advantage of that at all.  Going simply by stats it also looks like Harmes, ANB, Brayshaw etc are giving us next to nothing at the moment which just isn't good enough.

Hopefully something clicks and we turn the corner in the second half.

What run we had from the backline has evaporated. No run in the midfield. Too many in the contest as opposed to at the contest. Getting towelled in the middle. No forward coming TO the ball.

Finger in the dyke stuff this. Second half could get ugly

And this kick down the line stuff is (shudder) Neeld-esque

The whole situation is just baffling to me. As everyone else has said, we've gone backwards at light speed. What the [censored] has gone wrong with this club in the off-season? If we keep this up, we'll be lucky to get out of the bottom 6.

    Once again the club’s top goal scorer but he had a few uncharacteristic flat spots during the season and the club will be looking for much better from him in 2025.

    After sustaining a torn ACL in the final match of the 2023 season Jake added a bit to the attack late in the 2024 season upon his return. He has re-signed on to the Demons for 1 more season in 2025. Date of Birth: 12 August 1991 Height: 186cm Games MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 229 Goals MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 188

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    2024 Player Reviews: #42 Daniel Turner

    The move of “Disco” to a key forward post looks like bearing fruit. Turner has good hands, moves well and appears to be learning the forward craft well. Will be an interesting watch in 2025.

    The Demon’s key defender and backline leader had his share of injuries and niggles throughout the season which prevented him from performing at his peak.  Date of Birth: 5 March 1996 Height: 195cm Games MFC 2024: 18 Career Total: 178 Goals MFC 2024: 1 Career Total: 5

    2024 Player Reviews: #13 Clayton Oliver

    Lack of preparation after a problematic preseason prevented Oliver from reaching the high standards set before last year’s hamstring woes. He carried injury right through the back half of the season and was controversially involved in a potential move during the trade period that was ultimately shut down by the club.

    BLOODY BLUES by Meggs

    The conclusion to Narrm’s home and away season was the inevitable let down by the bloody Blues  who meekly capitulated to the Bombers.   The 2024 season fixture handicapped the Demons chances from the get-go with Port Adelaide, Brisbane and Essendon advantaged with enough gimme games to ensure a tough road to the finals, especially after a slew of early season injuries to star players cost wins and percentage.     As we strode confidently through the gates of Prin

    2024 Player Reviews: #5 Christian Petracca

    Melbourne’s most important player who dominated the first half of the season until his untimely injury in the Kings Birthday clash put an end to his season. At the time, he was on his way to many personal honours and the club in strong finals contention. When the season did end for Melbourne and Petracca was slowly recovering, he was engulfed in controversy about a possible move of clubs amid claims about his treatment by the club in the immediate aftermath of his injury.
