    Forwards coach, lol. We get tonnes of opportunities going in, our shambolic defense is the one that needs to be fixed first.

    If we have a goal kicking coach, sack him!

    if we don’t have a goal kicking coach, hire one tomorrow. 

    Our set shots are disgraceful

    Damn right it does Bing.
    Mindlessly bombing the ball inside 50 like morons is just BS.
    Done it all year and the buck stops with Goodwin.

    Agree. Hire one of the traditional full forwards from the era when full forwards kicked goals. We need a kicking coach urgently.

    Its not all the goal kicking technique though someone down there needs the gonads to tell Hogan to at least hold the ball on the correct side of his body for a start.
    For the most part it the weakness between the ears that kills us.

    Nothing to do with the coach. The "system" worked. The actual kicking was the let down.

    Spargo - who I am a huge fan of by the way - was atrocious today. Couldn't kick over a jam tin, rushing his set shots.

    Hogan - I just don't get his constant easy misses.

    Jeffy. That miss on the run while  momentum was moving our way. That is what you are in the team for. Energy sapper right there.

    Jones on the run. One beauty and one shocker.

    Twice in the last quarter a play-on and a slip over cost us walk-in goals. 

    No coach fixes this stuff, players do. 

    Really, really poor.

    Appalling routines and skills for set shots!

    How did these players survive through junior ranks with these set shot routines?

    Oh I forgot, they had great beep tests!!

    Watch closely though, very few of our player have a set routine that they stick to and repeat. Tommy McDonald might be the only one. 

    Hogan’s run up, step count and ball drop are different every time.

    every player needs a set shot routine. It’s the only way to really work out what they’re doing right or wrong to fix and fine tune any issues.

    Ben Brown is the perfect example. His set shots are always to routine. And if he’s off he can look at the footage and fix it

    Our scoring strategy is all about volume of entries to forward 50 - get it in as much as possible and eventually we will score - a strategy that doesn’t work against top teams who find it easy to defend -poor coaching!!

    Most of our misses occur in general play.
    We lack composure and sheeet ourselves.
    It's between the ears.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front.  They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • 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.
