Can we reset at 1/2a come with purpose and a plan.

viney not inspiring in his walk off interview.  

‘Maybe come and play man on man. We win the 50/50 contests when we do.

He’s being played out of position.

He needs to be played as a forward or on a wing, not in the backline.

He has lost confidence Clint. He played down there last season and was a much better player.

    Not sure it’s the backline that’s our biggest problem. How many Saints players have we hit with our i50 entries? Feels like 2012 watching some of that junk.

    Spargo is a complete waste of space. Anyone who thinks he can play better than Jeffy is kidding themselves including our coach. Tom Mc is doing nothing down forward. Move him back FFS.

    Troy ChAplin needs to be held to account. Our backline has gone backwards since he took over from Rawlings. How is this guy getting paid?

    Chaplin the [censored] spud, get him out of the club.

    Do our players just not know when to run forward and when to push back to defend??

    Exactly what the Saints are doing to perfection. They understand their gameplan. We don't

    Four goals in a half against St Kilda on our 'home ground' in perfect conditions.

    Still no system going inside 50.   Too many dumb players, and coaches.

    No OMac, no Melbourne. I blame the haters.

    The most putrid thing about this club is the lack of learning. We play the same game on repeat every week. The opposition simply doesn't matter. We have a hell of a lot of dumb at our club

    Spargo is a primary schoolboy

    Petracca is a prima Donna

    Melksham is useless

    McDonald is unsighted

    Weideman is hopeless 

    The Wagners are amateurs

    Jetta and Hibberd are liabilities 

    Lewis is dumb

    In their defense, 3 of the expected first picked back 6 currently aren't playing.

    would make no difference

    This is everything going wrong that you could have expected. 

    Terrible kicking going inside 50, marking forwards who can’t take a mark and no crumbers when it hits the deck. 

    They’re spreading the ground wide, using the wings and overlap run off half back, and our zone is breaking down completely. 

    Neither Jones nor Lewis are suited to the wing but despite that they’re there and they’re giving us nothing. 

    And we can’t stop them scoring when they go inside. 

    So far, it looks like last week we benefited from the smaller SCG more so than we improved or fixed anything. 

    Oh, and Hibberd is a shadow of his former self and makes more mistakes than anyone except maybe Spargo.

    Petracca misses from 20 out straight in front dry day. Totally unacceptable.

    Harmes misses 2 passes and then Spargo does same and Saints kick 3 goals. 

    What do these guys do at training, because they can’t kick a footy?

    I'm going to say it again. The issue is our inability to hit targets in the forward 50. This game is being played in our forward half. We get entry after entry after entry until eventually the saints manage to run it out and get out the back of our zone, then they can run into an uncontested goal. If we were hitting targets in our 50 they would never get the chance to rebound like that and the threat of us scoring would force them to be more accountable and not break early into space.

    I’m at the game and can not believe how slow Sam Weiderman is. Don’t think I have sighted Tom Mac. I think the umpiring has been pathetic. I haven’t understood most of the decisions.

    I’m here too Jane.  The bar is the place to be atm

    They’re ordinary; we are worse

    12 years of being atrocious, one good year last year, now back to being ordinary 

    Most frustrating side to support

    Our coaching staff definitely didnt watch the St Kilda Hawthorn game last week.  Anyone with a brain could see how the Saints played and how to counter it.

    We had better have a big 2nd half cos that was pathetic.

    Time to get Fritsch out of defence. Experiment is failing

    On the wing to replace Old Man Lewis.  Salem on the other to replace Chunk.

    Why are we playing 2 old men on both wings??  Death wish Goody?????????????

    • 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.
