Max destroyed should have played pruess and if we don’t win a clearance we are cooked, any team with some speed will destroy us, at least the hype might die down we are no where near it unfortunately, and with a tough draw I’m a bit worried now 

 

has anyone noticed that other than a three minute burst of three goals we have scored around 2-5 behinds in almost 3 quarters of football.

This has been atrocious

Our "stars" got an absolute spanking today.

When was the last time Gawn, Oliver, Brayshaw, Viney, Mcdonald, Jones and Petracca ALL had no impact?

Extremely concerning. The warning signs were evident during pre season.

    Agreed, out worked, out pressured...

    Really ....ing dissappointing

     

    Really need some outside run instead of playing Jones and Viney on the outside. 

    So many players out of form. We can't carry players out of form and play so many depth players. We are in serious trouble for the next few weeks.


    Umps evening up something fierce now.

    Hot garbage. Literally. It’s hot and this game is garbage. 

    Embarrasing.

    Imagine if we had recurited a one on one defender to stop the players kicking 4-5 goals on us....

    Where are we all drinking after the game to discuss and lament this pathetic display?

    Looking at an 0 and 4 start. So ordinary.

    Frost and Oscar [censored] off

    I never understood the blind faith and umpteen games gifted to Oscar (over an experienced and reliable Dunny) and never will.  Very poor decision by the FD and remains that way years down the track.

    Too easily lost and shaken off by his opponent and looks as slow as a wet week when the ball hits the turf.  May for Oscar FCS.

    Boys have been reading too much of their own press. Absolutely smashed and look massively underdone. Looks like it'll take a month or so to get rolling.

    Frost is the new Fitzpatrick (tunnel ball) and Dunn (torp) and should never play for us again 

    I suspect May will come in for him next week.

    No way you could put Pettracca in the same category as the rest of those players. He has never played consistently good games like the rest of them.

    While it looks bad... If you could magically change things so Viney and McDonald were in form the other players wouldn't be playing so poorly. It's a snowball effect, but can quickly snowball back the other way too.

    • REPORT: Geelong

      I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • POSTGAME: Geelong

      The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.
