Brisbane playing out of their skin and we are average... yet we're just 8 points down.  Goes to show how much better we can be, and how good we are even when we're not on.

I read the forum before checking the score. I presumed we were down by 40+ points...

 

Brayshaw! God his kicking is frustrating.

Backline is complete trash 

Oliver on Hipwood. How are we constantly out of position like that? Where’s May?

Mids can’t hit a target except Salem. 

 

[censored] I wish Brayshaw could kick!


Joel Smith has had a positive second term.  Great goal on the run and some good pressure forward.  Anyone think he is a legit chance for Round 1?

    Frustrating is overstating it 

    It is sh!|house

    Edit ... should I eat my words on that goal... hmmm

    Agreed Travis. J Smith thinks he's a world beater, he's about 4/5th in line when it comes to our tall forwards.

    I'd like to see Weed get more aggressive though, and tell him to keep out of his space.

    We were half way there before we decided to play some football GB.

    Does some really dumb things however also has some elite attributes. 

    I hope he makes our round 1 team.

    We are two points down.  But, apparently, our backline is trash, they're running rings around us and we are stinking it up completely.  Can't wait to see when we're on, we'll win games by 150 points.

    What happened to the holding the ball rule?

    JHK walking in the rooms. Great news.

    Hasn't done anything dumb today in my book.  Looks terrific out there across half forward.

    J Smith is an athlete with a poor football brain. He does some nice things, but mostly just impedes our other tall forwards and flies for marks he'll never take and removes himself from the contest by being unable to follow up defensible. He's got some good attributes, but he's depth at best IMO.

    • 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.

    • PREGAME: Rd 18 vs North Melbourne

      After four weeks on the road the Demons make their long awaited return to the MCG next Sunday to play in a classic late season dead rubber against the North Melbourne Kangaroos. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • 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.
