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

We suck

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.

What the [censored] was that free for?

Not allowed to make contact with the special kid. 


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?

  • PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Way back in March we contemplated the possibility of a Demon resurgence after Simon Goodwin’s summer of love. Many issues at the club had seemingly been addressed, key players were returning from injury and a brand new day was about to dawn. We imagined the coach pulling a rabbit out of a hat. The team would roar up the charts, push aside every opponent and make its way to a Grand Final ending in ultimate triumph with Goody and Max holding the premiership cup aloft under a shower of red and blue ticker tape.

  • AFLW REPORT: Western Bulldogs

    We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

  • REPORT: Hawthorn

    The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

  • CASEY: Box Hill

    The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

    The final game of the 2025 Season is finally upon us and the Demons may have an opportunity to spoil the Magpies Top 4 aspirations when they face them on Friday Night. Who comes in and who goes out?
