13 to 6 inside 50s.

1.3 to 3.2 for the quarter.

But we all know that's not bad luck but a sign of our crap gameplan.

Oscar just drifted off his line after taking a nice mark in defence which forced the umpire to call play on so he actually went from having a free kick to being under pressure in the backline.

Dumb.

 

 

Some on here wanted to retain Stretch over Hannan ?

How are we still in this? Melksham is s very good luck of the footy.


 

Dodged a bullet there...

It seems when rookies come into our side they instinctively know where to be inside forward 50, then after a few weeks they become more and more indecisive and caught out of position. Is this a coaching issue whereby rather than allow instincts to dictate position the players are instructed to be somewhere which goes against their natural instinct?

Speaking to a Richmond supporter about hardwicks change from 2016 and 2017. He stated that Hardwick was told he micromanaged the game too much. 

 

He changed his style in 2017 and told the players they made this grade because they were elite players. Go out and trust your instinicts, he also allowed the line coach’s to worry about the small things rather than him. 

 

It was obvious last week that we are playing to instructions not instincts. 

Ohhhhh no another out the back

Wake up Goodwin your game plan is KRAP

We’re rubbish but geezus we got murdered by the umps. How many good tackles do we not get rewarded for.

How the f are we only a goal down!

Keep your eye on the ball boys.

Spargo and ANB both run for the ball. Talk and SHEPHERD!!!

Spargo goes up to Jonesy to get around him at half-time. Jones half-heartedly slaps his hand but doesn't even look at him. No encouragement, no eye contact. Nothing.

Agree it’s a joke same thing happened in first qrt I think against hawks or north.  No reward at all then Jones seems to get pinged for playing the ball.

This is one of the worst games of footy I've ever seen. I'm feeling numb more than anything.

Despite the self-flagellation in here we’re one goal down.  There have been moments where we’ve moved the ball well, but they are too few and far between.  But for can turn quickly... fingers crossed for the second half.

 

Ps. Welcome to the MFC Charlie Spargo!

 

Sounds like we're lucky to be only a goal down at half time. 

I'm not at the game, nor listening to it. Just following comments on this site.

Playing for Melbourne can do that to you I imagine

  • PREVIEW: Carlton

    Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

  • REPORT: North Melbourne

    I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

  • CASEY: Werribee

    The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

  • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

    The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
