Maxy really is mentally weak in front of goal, I'd actually take Bugg before him in a kick for my life.

He should just handball immediately now, it's just not worth the risk.

This should be over.  The poor kicking is just turning this into a rubbish spectacle.

    Supporting this club is pure torture.

    It’s almost as bad as being a supporter of Rugby in Australia (a Rebels fan, Wallabies) or a Liverpool fan.... or all of the above. 

    AND worse the guys look absolutely buggered.   So much for the next few weeks.

    I can't believe he kicked that.

    I can, he ran straight at the goal, dropped the ball beutifully and kicked through it.

     

    Big 2nd half coming up.  We need tomake some more space in our forward line for our forwards to lead into. 

    Seriously max needs to work with our forward line coach on goal kicking.

    Try following Crystal Palace!

    Have to admit to only watching about 10 minutes of this junk, but my two observations are:

    1. 5.15 always, always comes back to bite you in the bum. 44-13 inside 50s - not like they are going to have 26 for the gam. They will have 45-50 and kill us.

    2. We desperately needed the score board to reflect our dominance and be far enough ahead that we could run around like millionaires in the second half. We didn't need a fight to the death battle in 71% humidity.

    So I’d take the “Black Knight” from Monty Python above those 2.

    Once again the long bombs inside 50 are killing us. Clear out the forward 50 and create space for lowering of eyes. Too many go up and too much congestion inside 50

    They keeping asking about the humidity on the telecast BBO, how sweaty is it?

    I just felt the grass outside the boundary and it’s dry

    Go figure

    First thing Pert must do is get us out of this horrible game. If you have any chance of having a good year this game destroys it .

    Agreed. Shocking decision to play up here. 

    Everytime Gawn kicks for goal, 10 puppies die

    No offence at all here, but at least they don’t really give you much to hope for. 

    The Dees, Reds and Aust Rugby Gove you hope every now and again.

    I have to admit, that's a long way from the moisture report I was expecting.

    No offence taken, but no offence, Liverpool give as much hope as Palace ?

    Made the trip again. No Jayden torp heroics yet - thought Clarry might try one before. Getting very dewy. Can we please kick straight?!!

    Can you go find out why it’s so moist in the oval?

    It is 70% humidity, much less than most of our games in DARWIN, it is just a case of the commentators trying to cover for atrocious skill errors (and at 25 degrees it is not hot)

    Everything about them is annoying me so here's just two of my concerns

     

    Gawn's goalkicking. Yes Max, you're a laidback champion and all round funny guy but the casual attitude in front of goal has cost us one game and will continue to cost us. How about some "hey google, find me a goal kicking coach".

     

    Frost playing his part in defence. A week on and I remain furious by the arrogance displayed by the selection committee by selecting Petty ahead of Frost against St Kilda. They thought they could get away with playing a kid and it cost us. It also shows it's not just the players who mark down games as easy wins.

    • 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?

    • POSTGAME: Geelong

      The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.
