T Mac to the backline!! Can’t do much worse. Change it around please. 72 points against them at the half.

    I've raised concerns about our game plan since the first half against Geelong in round 1, and it has not improved.

    Inefficient and congested going forward.

    Open players everywhere when defending.

     

    Got one half of footy to right the ship. We have the cattle, but do we have the ability to put it all together? 

    Umps have been an absolute disgrace. 3 goals from dodgy 50 metre penalties has killed us. 

     

    We are being toyed with by a a team thats won 2 games.

    On our supposed home ground.

    What a disgrace.

    We can’t play the MCG. It’s as simple as that. Our defensive zone is too high and our kids don’t work hard enough/aren’t quick enough to get back and help out.

    We don’t deserve to play finals this year. So disappointing.

    Truly one of the worst halves of footy I've seen from us since the Neeld era. Our gameplan is dreadful.

    We are a joke.. Hogan and Petracca need to pull the fingers out.

    Yep, the backline isn't our problem...lol.  Stkilda has scored 72 points in a half.  STKILDA.

    For how long do we let Lewis build his Superannuation for defending with all the physicality of Andrew Gaze

    Defining game. Lose this and it’s goodbye finals. 

    Petty is not AFL ready. Feel sorry for him. Bad call giving him a game 

    Petty is not the reason we are losing. No crumber. No midfield field run and connection from the wings and dumb players going for the same ball (air and ground) is. 

    That was a fairly ordinary half of footy by us.

    Expecting us to come out with a different tac from half time. There is no way the players will accept a loss today, and I'll back them to put a poor half behind them.

    Only 15 points... can catch that in 5 mins.

    I still back us.

    What does Joel Smith provide? How can we select him and Petty in a crunch match... Goodwin continues to lose games on Thursday night selections.

    We are pathetic. Losing to a team that should have lost to GC.

    Watching this live and it is glaringly obvious that we are slow. Have no crumber/pressure forwards. We are way to close to esch other and letting them stay outside the contest and for it to be fed out to.

    Same old mistakes. Mids are being slaughtered and care more for asking for a handball 1 meter away than supporting their teammate. 

    Selection was pus. Officiating is pus. Oir skills are pus and if it wasnt for gawn it would be 10 goals by now.

    You can blame the Umpires as much as you like but this is our own doing. We are not being accountable we are just not being smart. 

    from the AFL site ... states the obvious but also shows how our game plan can so easily be picked apart:

    St Kilda has retained possession from 73 percent of its inside 50 entries, compared to Melbourne 53 percent. The Saints have retained possession from only 42 percent of their kicks into the forward 50 this season, which is ranked second last.

    Also lol at Trac and Hogan promising a return to form. Touched the ball 13 times between them for zero return. 

    Tracc has kicked a goal!

    Of course he isn’t. Never said it was!

    Just noting that he isn’t ready for footy. Looks overawed and nervous with ball in hand and not reading the ball in flight. 

    Havent watched enough VFL to make a call on this, but surely Frost is ahead of him?

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.

    • GAMEDAY: Collingwood

      It's Game Day and the Demons face a monumental task as they take on the top-of-the-table Magpies in one of the biggest games on the Dees calendar: the King's Birthday Big Freeze MND match. Can the Demons defy the odds and claim a massive scalp to keep their finals hopes alive?
