Their D against our attack was always a tight contest. Their attack vs our D I felt they had a huge advantage. The only way I saw us winning this was midfield dominance. They have a lot of stars in there too, Parker, JPK, others... This game was always 50-50... Our inaccuracy is the key. 9 scoring shots to 15... we should be 3-4 goals up.

yes. they are winning in the midfield and kicking goals. there is a clear correlation between our dropping off in the middle and opposition team's getting a run on. we give so much space and good teams open that up. good teams also know how to counter that through leadership, which was non existent that quarter. it is the usual suspects spudding it up.

This has the hawthorn game all over it. huge third quarter.

Jones just jogged from half forward to half back in no mans land with no opponent as the ball shot passed him time and time again.

This sticks out to me to

they kicked 6.1 and found a concerning amount of space. if you're equating having more of the ball to them not tearing us apart you're delusional. That was a complete belting.

And we kicked 1.6. Had we gone 6.1 you would think it was pretty even

Can Goodwin coach under PRESSURE?

Gee wizz I thought you were overripe on the Gaff scenario. Goody can’t kick straight in front of goal for the players, he can’t get them to gut run back when needed, he can’t get them to find targets under zero pressure.

    Pederson has got to the right spots but has spilt the mark, or when he has won the ball takes to long to make a decision. Hibberd is going to be a big upgrade next week. Is hunt still carrying another injury? His pace has was a huge asset when defending with our zone to make a spoil. If the rain lets up i expect us to come back and be a tight finish. Getting and keeping momentum by finishing our work.

    Jones and Garlett, the great disappearing players. Modern day Houdinis, they are.

    Can't wait for the rain to start bucketing down and make it impossible for us to play our preferred game and score enough to win.


    We're really missing Melksham's disposal into our forward 50 and his ability to kick a clutch steadying goal. He better be right for next week regardless of what happens today.

    if we'd laid even one tackle in the first 10 minutrs of round 23 2017 we might have won. ifs and buts. reality is pretty clear though. we're choking.

    Been saying that since 5 minutes in. Classic case of a mature team that's aging, but still has plenty fo knowledge, and knows to beat a contested side you have to beat them at their game.

    Agree. Don’t deserve it. 

    Bollocks.

    If we make it, we deserve it.  No question about that.

    Why does Tim Watson hate us so much?

    I'be had to hold back the urge to vomit because of all the Sydney love numerous time since quarter time.

    Come on Demons kick straight and get the job done

     

    lol usual suspects again, 2 minutes in. we haven't played finals in 11 seasons.

    Swans have now kicked the last 7.........

    How very Melbourne.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?

    • FEATURE: 1925

      A hundred years ago today, on 2 May 1925, Melbourne kicked off the new season with a 47 point victory over St Kilda to take top place on the VFL ladder after the opening round of the new season.  Top place was a relatively unknown position for the team then known as the “Fuchsias.” They had finished last in 1923 and rose by only one place in the following year although the final home and away round heralded a promise of things to come when they surprised the eventual premiers Essendon. That victory set the stage for more improvement and it came rapidly. In this series, I will tell the story of how the 1925 season unfolded for the Melbourne Football Club and how it made the VFL finals for the first time in a decade on the way to the ultimate triumph a year later.
