Our decision making and skills are killing us. Midfield getting beaten, but where in front if our midfield lifts in the second half we should win.

    Half time couldn't have come soon enough.

    Time to readjust and realize not everything is one for the highlight reel.

    Our short passes have been criminal.

    If we don't fix it (and improve our inside 50s), we won't be so lucky, because I doubt the Hawks will miss those chances in the 2nd half.

    We've been given a lifeline here. We don't really deserve that lead, but we have to make it count!

    From our defensive 50 that quarter most times we kicked it out back to them. Need to run it out with handball or kick to a one on one, not an outnumber.

    Classic clash of game styles.

    Lot of players need to lift a lot of work to be done yet.

    Forgot Tyson. I think ANB May be on Smith who has SFA

    They’re tagging Gus. 

    We need more from Milkshake and Trac. They’re giving us SFA.

    Oliver did not stage. Commentators are morons.

    It's all over Twitter. Fox footy saying he dived, AFL Nation asking people if he flopped. 

    It’s Whorethorn pressure we have to beat. This is not Home and Away Footy...

    We can get better

    Anyone who thinks that Oliver flopped, I’m very happy for them to stand with legs evenly apart in front of me and I’ll hit them front on.

    Tyson is so bad.. jogging to contests and when in the action, looks slow. Vanders looks stuffed!

    Hard to fathom we are winning. I dont think we have plkayed anywhere near our best. Lets hope we do our 3 quarter blitz and not ay pn their terms.

    Make space. Hit the targets. Don’t kick to the outnumbered player. 

    Do the above and we will win.

    I agree was basically a basketball charging foul situation.  I don't think it should have been a free in AFL football, but it would have been very hard for Oliver to stay upright.

    Would rather be in our position than theirs. Run them into the ground this quarter.


    Anyone wondering if Mitchell will win the Brownlow- I can confirm the umpires notice him.

    Lucky to be in front, need to lift across the board really 

    Yep! We're playing very ordinary footy, and we're winning (thanks to Hawks wasting chances), just imagine if we get our ship together!

    Oh well, we are ahead. Melksham and Hannan need to lift. And Tyson is useless

    the Hawks setup took the running early and they have controlled most of thre play IMO.

     

    I'm glad that Goody hasn't shown his hand YET.  by making panic moves...  I feel like we've started to adjust to the hawks setup and intensity.

     

    I think we can lift from here... but as Lew said, we have to get in harder & lower for the ball, and win the contests... bang more bodies D's.

    • 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.

    • CASEY: Coburg

      The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

    • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
