Putting everything that happened in that half out of our mind this is the absolute fact: We have not played well, but we are 7 points down. That’s all we can think about right now. 

Quite a few players need to lift. Jones is butchering it in close, Hogan is having a stinker. Seedsman being out for the rest of the game gives me a little comfort, one less slick ball user to worry about. Ruck duel looks pretty even at the moment.

    Smith 2

    Fritsch, Jetta 3

    Vince 4

    Spargo 5

    Hogan 6

    JKH, Salem, Tyson 7

    and the Jones lovers will cream themselves over his 14 - with 4 turnover kicks and 10 x 1m handballs. The captain, absolutely putrid.

    How we are only 7 points down is beyond me. Those players above should hang their heads in shame.

    Smith has a future. Because he gets there. What is it 9 games in? Preferably lever and hibberd would be in with him filling a less important role. No pressure coming into defense hurts all defenders. Cant see us winning this, crows midfield all over us.

    He is one player that has a red hot crack every time he is in which is more than you can say for others but he is just too small and limited which is a shame

    he jogs around all game 20m behind his opponent, is extremely soft and can't lay a tackle, I hope the kid makes it but he doesn't deserve another game this year

    Everyone's complaining about JKH, Garlett, Spargo, and Smith. I'm over here wondering when Jesse Hogan is going to show up.

    Amen. Wouldn’t kill him to stand up and win us a game.

    I've noticed that Adelaide's players have tried to put body on us at every contest. Good move by them because they're a mature team with body strength and we consist of Tom McDonald, Max Gawn, about 10 twenty-year old stars, and a bunch of old spuds.

    If we manage to stick some tackles on the likes of Mileara we will be in here. Jones has to lift and umpires definitely need to lift, some shockers so far.

    Is Hogan scared to kick? Jesus he just ruined that ball move.

    Smith is doing his role

    You mean the first year player doing more this year than many experienced players on our list?

    Seriously NFI

    he's done nothing tonight 

    What I see most is the fumble's its what costing us.  It like the ball is slippery, but the crows look fine with in hand.

    We ae slowly getting on top but need to get in front and push further ahead.

    He’s laid 5 til half time but don’t let stats get on the way if your story.

    As poorly as we've played, there is only a kick in it.

    If we can switch on and convert more inside 50s we can win. Story of our season unfortunately

    I don’t often come on here during a game and this will be my last post. You guys are pathetic under pressure. Did you expect Adelaide to roll over? They’re a quality side at home, in form for a spot in the eight. It’s going to be tough but I’m confident we’ve got this

    The ironic thing is that when we were an awful team, Jones epitomized our absolute best.

    Now that we're actually decent, he epitomizes our worst.

    If someone askee, "How did Melbourne play in the first half?" you could show them a Jones highlight package from the game so far and that would answer their question.

    And JKH hasn’t been as bad as some say. Can see some of Neville Jetta in him. Could be our next small defender.

    Only in a non parallel universe. 

    JKH is a VFL player not even close to Jets.

    Smith is fine imo

    Hogan is having a shocker; playing from behind is not what any forward should be doing

    Jones has been poor thus far, but if he and the likes of Salem can lift, we’re doing okay cos somehow we’re only just over a goal down and we’re playing some TERRIBLE football

    Really need to get Melksham involved more in the play - apart from one muffed kick he’s a weapon getting it i50

    You could have said the same of Jetta in 2013.

    beginning? surely the st kilda game would've clearly showed you that! or the fact we haven't made finals for 12 years

    Mate, it's the game day thread. Every emotion possible is on display. This not the thread to judge

    We’re ‘good ordinary’ - same as them

    That whole clutch of sides from basically 5-12 is super, super even, and we’re right in that mix

    • GAMEDAY: Richmond

      It's Game Day and the Demons return to the MCG to face the Tigers in their annual Blockbuster on ANZAC Eve for the 10th time. The Dees will be desperate to reignite their stuttering 2025 campaign and claim just their second win of the season. Can the Demons dig deep and find that ANZAC Spirit to snatch back to back wins?

    • PREVIEW: Richmond

      A few years ago, the Melbourne Football Club produced a documentary about the decade in which it rose from its dystopic purgatory of regular thrashings to the euphoria of a premiership victory. That entire period could have been compressed in a fast motion version of the 2025 season to date as the Demons went from embarrassing basket case to glorious winner in an unexpected victory over the Dockers last Saturday. They transformed in a single week from a team that put in a pedestrian effort of predictably kicking the ball long down the line into attack that made a very ordinary Bombers outfit look like worldbeaters into a slick, fast moving side with urgency and a willingness to handball and create play with shorter kicks and by changing angles to generate an element of chaos that yielded six goals in each of the opening quarters against Freo.

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.
