Looked slow and flat all day. As usual, any game with pressure and decent opposition we squib. 

God knows why Oscar doesn’t play in front, has me baffled. Weak as [censored] this club.

    [censored] this. Coast to coast [censored] with 10 seconds to go. Back to the old garbage from this team. I’m going back to bed. Annoyed that I got up so early to watch this [censored]. 

     

    Too many old slow players - Vince, Lewis, Jones. Can’t have them all in the same side. Pederson, yet again, is just not up to it. 


    Im so dissapointed.

    6.2 to our 4.3 that quarter.

    Very disappointing. 

    Lewis has been awful. Doesn't earn his paycheck against good opposition.

    We still can't play the MCG.

    Without Jetta Hibberd and Salem, this would be a 70 point loss. Which it might still be.

    This smells like the Hawthorn game all over again.

     

    Yep, we've been found out a little today and I can't see us coming back from here.

    We've looked a little flat, as if the last few weeks have taken it out of us a little.  Too many players down and not enough gut running.  The last few minutes summed up the day - we went inside 50 4 times for nothing, then they run it out with ease and kick a goal.  It's what was happening to us earlier in the season and it's happening here again today.

    I don't see us winning this game but we've got another 30 minutes to make a response.

    Collingwood have played the game very well. We had no answer. Reality check time, we're a good side but have a bit of a way to go.


    another insipid, gutless lazy effort when it counts. too many easy goals from Collingwood as our players fail to man up, chase, tackle, they obviously came out again as they often do thinking all they have to do is turn up to win.

     

    They have us spooked. Round 23 replay.

    Feel for Daniher to serve up this on such a big occasion.

    Harsh on Lewis.  I don't think he's been that bad.  At least he's gotten his hands on the ball a little, unlike many others.

    Hard to see us pinching this one now. That last goal was the one we didn't need.

    Will be interesting to see what happens going forward now, have a few players been found out when the pressure is really on?

    Can’t stand it that that spud Cox has kicked 4 goals.

    I would cancel the bye break. It will take a week to get some of these blokes to run when they don't have the ball. Lazy as hell.


    Lewis and Vince need to go. Bring in young blood Baker and Balic. Obviously there leadership isn’t adding [censored] anymore 

    Again I have to question Goodwin. Whenever the pressure has been on he has had no answers what so ever. Is it just our team not being good enough, or can some blame fall on Goodwin. We have been outplayed since the first bounce in every part of the ground. 

    They set up too well

    Crunbing our bombs forward then gut running

    Hope we can learn

     

    ps. Who is the game day wuzzard in the box mentioned in another thread?

    Disgusted by the lack of intensity in the midfield and backline today. Very disappointing day for the club to cough up 2nd on the ladder and fall back to the pack.

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front. They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • PREGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons return to the MCG to take on the High Flying Hawks on Saturday Afternoon. Hawthorn will be aiming to consolidate a position in the Top 4 whilst the Dees will be looking to take a scalp and make it four wins in a row. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
