We are poorly skilled and yes lack a forward line.

 

I am listening to Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass. 

It lessens the feelings of dread that are building 

we don’t like odd years. It’s too hard to go again

 

Anyone who saw either of our preseason games knew this was coming. We're going to be one of the easiest teams to beat this year. Bottom four looks likely, even though we might recover slightly by midyear and make a charge to the bottom reaches of the eight if we can tweak our gameplay and get Lever back.

 

Just joined from WA.

Why did Jones choose to kick into the wind after winning the toss?  We planning to come home with a wet sail?

 

Easiest team in the AFL to score against. It’s wet FFS! Why are we letting them get so much easy ball? 


Neal Bullen is a mouth breather. 

 

we are going to lose this by 72+

we have no idea how to get the ball forward whatsoever, and the amount of space they're getting is extraordinary in their forward 50

bereft of idea

Just now, Demonland said:

There is no dropping the ball at Geelong Except when a Demon does it. 

It is basically cheating

We’ve gone backwards 3 years. This team looks like it’s trying but doesn’t have the skill or gameplan/game sense to be anything other than “competitive”. 

Our main strength is contested ball and we’ve completely lost it. Teams have worked out how to position themselves to counter our kids at stoppages. Our season isn’t looking good.


So I bought a new fishing rod and reel today. 

Time to get excited again about having the #1 draft pick :( 

Petracca can [censored] off. Drops chest marks and slips basic tackles. He is playing [censored] football when he get sick near it, which isn’t often. Serious waste of talent. So disappointing.


Wow. We’re not even vaguely competitive.

  • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

    The media has performed a complete reversal in its coverage of the Melbourne Football Club over the past month and a half. Having endured intense criticism from all quarters in the press, which continually identified new avenues for scrutiny of every aspect, both on and off the field, and prematurely speculated about the departures of coaches, players, officials, and various employees from a club that lost its first five matches and appeared out of finals contention, the narrative has suddenly shifted to one of unbridled optimism.  The Demons have won five of their last six matches, positioning themselves just one game (and a considerable amount of percentage) outside the top eight at the halfway mark of the season. They still trail the primary contenders and remain far from assured of a finals berth.

  • REPORT: Sydney

    A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.

  • POSTGAME: Sydney

    The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.

  • CASEY: Northern Bullants

    The Casey Demons travelled to a windy Cramer Street, Preston yesterday and blew the Northern Bullants off the ground for three quarters before shutting up shop in the final term, coasting to a much-needed 71-point victory after leading by almost 15 goals at one stage. It was a pleasing performance that revived the Demons’ prospects for the 2025 season but, at the same time, very little can be taken from the game because of the weak opposition. These days, the Bullants are little more than road kill. The once proud club, situated behind the Preston Market in a now culturally diverse area, is currently facing significant financial and on-field challenges, having failed to secure a win to date in 2025.
