Rubbish skills, rubbish decision making, as slow as my granny. 10 goal loss coming up

 

 

Do something Goody.....

No spread, no two way running. Stupid forward entries. What else is new?

    Regardless of whether JKH is decent or not, we have one more player that's not used to playing with the rest of the team. Him flying against Salem in the back line was a classic example.

    It's not just Viney out that's the problem, but that these outs upset balance and stability.

    Could see us losing this, but there are just too many players out there who are fringe players. This is NOT a well-oiled machine.


    After enduring a whole night of "yep, whatever pay the Port guy the mark" a couple of weeks ago, that non-mark to Tom McDonald is infuriating.

    Lazy, lazy, lazy.

    We will lose if we keep this up.

    Where is the intensity?

    The Dogs are bound to be up and about with run early.  We will need to win the center clearances heavily.  At the moment we are getting killed here.

    If they get a run on we need a plan B to counter our horrible zone defense.  Man on man pls

    We’re pretty putrid at the moment.

    This. 1000 times this. 

    Don't know if it's effort or structure or talent, but they killed us there last time.

    I am done with the dees if they lose this. We have all to play for and this is the type of [censored] they serve up. I am at a point where we should offer Petracca for trade. Lewis is useless. We have no pace skill or heart. I have wasted thousands of dollars on memberships tickets merchandise etc all for nothing. 

     

    We are [censored], plain and simple. 

    Can we stop turning the [censored] ball over. FFS. 

    Frost's a good one. Crunches bodies at pace, and is desperate in defence.

    I feel like Hogan hasn't taken a mark in weeks. Good contest though.

    DO SOMETHING MELBOURNE


    JKH. JONES. GARLETT. 

    Lazy, non contributors

    Hannan is a slow thinker.

    Still no mark to Hogan, but he's making a great contest this quarter.

    Umpiring not great but no excuse. We play terribly. Need to use hogan in the middle. 

    A team with our 'skill' execution does not deserve to play finals


    Finally Garlett is in the middle.

    Johansson is giving Jones an absolute batch.

    Nate Jones...... WTF

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      Saturday’s election night game in Perth between the West Coast Eagles and Melbourne represents 18th vs 15th which makes it a tough decision as to which party to favour. The Eagles have yet to break the ice under their new coach in Andrew McQualter who is the second understudy in a row to confront Demon Coach Simon Goodwin who was also winless until a fortnight ago. On that basis, many punters might be considering to go with the donkey vote but I’ve been assigned with the task of helping readers to come to a considered opinion on this matter of vital importance across the nation. It was almost a year ago that I wrote a preview here of the Demons’ away game against the Eagles (under the name William from Waalitj because it was Indigenous Round).  I issued a warning that it was a danger game, based on my local knowledge that the home team were no longer easybeats and that they possessed a wunderkind generational player in Harley Reid who was capable of producing stellar performances playing among men a decade and more older than he.  At the time, the Eagles already had two wins off the back of a couple of the young man’s masterclasses and they had recently given the Bombers a scare straight after their Anzac Day blockbuster draw against the then reigning premiers.

    • NON-MFC: Round 08

      Round 08 of the 2025 AFL Season kicks off on Thursday with a must-win game for the Bombers to stay in touch with the top eight, while the struggling Roos seek a morale-boosting upset. Friday sees the Saints desperate for a win as well if they are to stay in finals contention and their opponents the Dockers will be eager to crack in to the Top 8 with a win on the road. Saturday kicks off with a pivotal clash for both sides asthe Bulldogs look to solidify their top-eight spot, while Port seeks to shake their pretender tag. Then the Crows will be looking to steady their topsy turvy season against a resurgent Blues looking to make it 4 wins on the trot. On Election Night a Blockbuster will see the ladder-leading Pies take on the Cats, who are keen to bounce back after a narrow loss. On Sunday the Sydney Derby promises fireworks as the Giants aim to cement their top-eight status, while the Swans fight to keep their season alive. The Hawks, celebrating their centenary, will be looking to easily account for the Tigers who are desperate to halt their slide. The Round concludes on Sunday Night with a top end of the table QClash with significant ladder implications; both Queensland teams are in scintillating form. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • PREGAME: West Coast

      The Demons hit the road in Round 8, heading to Perth to face the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium. With momentum building, the Dees will be aiming for a third straight victory to keep their season revival on course. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.
