I’ve got that feeling that this quarter is going to hurt us later tonight!!! FFS!

We really needed to snap the rubber band. Now we risk releasing it and having it whack back on our hand 

 

Exactly what happened the last two times. We need to start making the most of it or we are cooked

    This is what inexperience looks like.

    Can't fault the endeavour, but polish lacking. Hopefully they settle a bit in the second half.

     

    This reminds me of the port game, just hope the end result is different.

    Just need some poise in front of goal.

    Should have put them away that quarter.   Unbelievable amount of wasted opportunities.

    Absolutely. Spent a whole qtr keeping them in the game. Can't afford missed opportunities like that. Gotta make sure we come out in the third with the same intensity, but with smarter forward 50 decisions/general accuracy.

    There's no doubt we're in total control over the entire ground but it's simple: wasted opportunities, wasted opportunities, wasted opportunities.

    Agree. We've got all the ball. We just need to breathe when we get in the 50. So many things didn't need to be rushed.

    That quarter was bad Demons. We stopped looking for targets forward and started kicking long to the contest. Mental lapse. Hopefully they get their heads sorted for next quarter.

    Half time is about telling the players to keep doing the same thing again for another 60 minutes!! Just trust the system. The Goals will come! 

    That quarter was worthy of 6-8 goals!

    This is us 

    Let it rip Dees

    Far too many missed opportunities. Very very costly.

    Stop looking at stats ..look at the nuances of the game.

    This is ours....go Dees

    Shocking miss by Neale Bullen started the rot in my opinion.

    Ugh! We did everything right but kick goals. Geelong will come back we know that. 

    Our tackling is great.

    Just need to steady at the start of this 3rd term. 

    Would love to see petracca light it up this quarter

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.

    • PREVIEW: North Melbourne

      Can you believe it? After a long period of years over which Melbourne has dominated in matches against North Melbourne, the Demons are looking down the barrel at two defeats at the hands of the Kangaroos in the same season. And if that eventuates, it will come hot on the heels of an identical result against the Gold Coast Suns. How have the might fallen? There is a slight difference in that North Melbourne are not yet in the same place as Gold Coast. Like Melbourne, they are currently situated in the lower half of the ladder and though they did achieve a significant upset when the teams met earlier in the season, their subsequent form has been equally unimpressive and inconsistent.

    • REPORT: Adelaide

      The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.
