If we can hold Brisbane to 27 goals we can consider it a win. 

 

Clarry's been quiet too. We appear to be half arsed in our tackling. Hope they get their act together in the next couple of weeks.

 

Guys it’s ok. We are handballing it a bazillion more times than kicking... it’s all good!

    Only positives so far are Hunt and Petracca playing to their strengths and having an impact. Gawn is wining taps, but it's not leading to any effective clearances. Everyone else is playing poorly, and the effort is non-existent.

    Hope the coach gives them a rocket and makes them have a crack. We're getting shown up by a worse team than us who are more organised and working harder.

    attitude going into, preparing for this game

    For what it is worth, just saw Preuss walking off with no limb

    do you mean limp

     

    We are playing like a side that doesn't want to be out there, soft dropping marks, its like we just want to get through to round 1

     

    Good god ANB is horrible.. can never keep his feet and just fumbly at all costs. 

    Hibberd is a worry for me.

    JLT melts in full swing...

    Not sure if you've noticed Sisso, but going back to early 2000's, our season proper has generally reflected our pre-season form.

    Imagine having to go to Amersfoort ?

    I've been to both Cranbourne East and  Amersfoort. There are an awful lot of Dutchmen there but frankly, I prefer Amersfoort.

    Lions taking this game very seriously. Dees taking it half arsed. Scoreline reflects it. 

    Is it for four points? No. Just get through boys.

    Oscar is a spud he will cost us games he gave away the first 3 goals bring in Frost.

    Started ok with their first 2 goals coming from Oscar McDonald being a total turnip.

    After that it’s been lazy tackling, poor skills, inability to get balance at a clearance or a crumb and the backline going to [censored].

    Why we are playing a spare behind the ball in a practice game is beyond me. Are we really that slow????

    Not surprised Brisbane are good. More disappointed we can’t string any midfield skill together

    Hibberd is a worry for me.

    I backed him last week, but he missed a handball, slipped over etc. He had a bit of a mare early.

    Possibly, can’t find it in myself to get worried about this yet though 


    Watt do you think happens... when players go into a game,  and play to not get injured. ????

    At this stage I’ll take my chances with C wagner over ANB

    AVB cheap shot. Why? So so so dumb. 

    He thinks he’s Jordon Lewis 

    Poor JHK that looks awful! wishing him a speedy recovery.

      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.
