    Yeah we’re garbage. They are going coast to coast with total ease.


    Frustrating to watch. We are playing dumb footy.

    Were max's 2 behinds he missed easy shots that he should have kicked? I wonder if he has that voice in his head that gives him no confidence 

     

    Any chance of hogan marking one?

    Every single week I have said it:

    You have to start questioning Goodwin.

    Three goals this quarter coming from deep in our attack.

    Can’t see us winning any games with this coaching group 

    Every time the ball goes to Hogan it comes back.

    Clog the [censored] corridor. Stop this high press [censored]. Hell revert to flooding or man on man. We will beat no one on current form and gameplan and it’s a pathetic waste of a talented list at present.

    I’m furious at how [censored] this team is playing this year. This is a top 4-6 underperforming massively. Disgusting.

    I am very very close to walking from this club, not to another but away from the sport. I can not do another rebuild under another coach. 

    It’s only eight scoring shots to nine. We are not putting any scoring pressure which makes players out their heads down 

    Spargo showing everyone else how it's done

    Gawn would be a good one to go to for us…if he could kick.

    Yes im afraid he now has a permanent yip.  Now we have pretty much no one who is a reliable kick outside of Melk or Kent on a good day.

    No front and square play or forward pressure from any of our forwards other than Spargo in his first game.

    11 inside 50s for 1.3  this quarter ... can't hit a target coming inside 50 and can't kick a goal to save ourselves.

    Spargo the only one scoring in his first game.... horrible

    This is meaningless, pointless, total lacking in identify, structure, urgency.

    There is no clear objective. A first gamer is schooling our forwards on how to position himself and win the ball.

    This is a team bereft of confidence.

    They are trying to operate under a structure and with a system that is complete rubbish.

    We all know that the talent isn't this bad.

    No wonder our skills and decision making is poor.

    Makes me sick to watch this. 

    Pathetic. 

    9 scoring shots to 8.

    When will the forward coaches teach goalkicking??

    Season over if it wasn’t already, we are a bottom 4 side with no 1st round pick, life is peachy

    • NON-MFC: Round 05

      Gather Round is here, kicking off with a Thursday night blockbuster as Adelaide faces Geelong. The Crows will be out for redemption after a controversial loss last week. Saturday starts with the Magpies taking on the Swans. Collingwood will be eager to cement their spot in the top eight, while Sydney is hot on their heels. In the Barossa Valley, two rising sides go head-to-head in a fascinating battle to prove they're the real deal. Later, Carlton and West Coast face off at Adelaide Oval, both desperate to notch their first win of the season. The action then shifts to Norwood, where the undefeated Lions will aim to keep their streak alive against the Bulldogs. Sunday’s games begin in the Barossa with Richmond up against Fremantle. In Norwood, the Saints will be looking to take a scalp when they come up against the Giants. The round concludes with a fiery rematch of last year's semi-final, as the Hawks seek revenge for their narrow loss to Port Adelaide. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • CASEY: Geelong

      There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

    • REPORT: Geelong

      I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?
