Backline is under siege and not working well together. Our midfield looks like they couldn't give a [censored] though. They've barely hit a target at all so far. Lucky to be this close on the scoreboard.

Trac looks strong and involved though!

Tracc has a little fire burning under his backside, this year.

 

Need Lever back desperately. 

A lot of new guys down back and it looks a mess. Need to get themselves working together ASAP.

    Defending all over the ground has been horrible so far.


    It's very concerning that we are conceding so many points against us. 113 against the Tigers and already 26 against the Lions and it's not even 20 minutes in.

    Someone on Demonland and Hudson on Foxtel both reported it. 

    Yeah I was referring to Hudson.

    Hore should have punched then. He can intercept well when uncontested, but his actual defending on first few matches has been poor. We'll be far better off when he is out of the team and Lever returns.

    4-1 and we lost that contest. Defensive efforts are non existent today.

    Shambolic. A skeleton just beat 3 defenders. If you can call them defenders.

    We've leaked like a sieve all preseason. Hopefully we step up our defensive intensity come the real stuff, or we're going to be in for a rude shock and a drop down the ladder. Our mids are a super talented bunch, but they've still got to work hard both ways.

    Hunt as a forward looks great. 

    We may well have found his position. 

    He's too good of a talent for the FD not to have a position for him.  And he has the pace and goal kicking nous to play a couple of different roles in the forward line. 

    If you were an opposition defender he'd be a concern.

    Hands in the back rule already a farce. Took them 10 years to get the umpiring right now they’ve changed it again. 


    Spargo and Hunt looking good.

     

    Vanders could get a week for that

    • 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.
