23 inside 50s for 1 goal?

    Can we pull off a miracle?  If enough of us believe we might be able to fumble the ball down our end enough to kick a winning score.

    Unless this is Melbourne's version of rope-a-dope I reckon we're in trouble.

    3rd quarter

    poor handballs to no one

    putting ourselves under pressure 

    missed tackles

    fumbles

    midfielders not getting into defensive transition 

    Shocking skills by foot 

    COULD BE 7-8 GOALS DOWN

    LEARN TO CONTROL THE BALL OUT OF DEFENCE

    we must be on the peptides again.  we oughta be tested...   all of them.


    Other than Maxy  ....No one is capable.of hitting a short medium target by foot coming out of defence.  ZERO control of the game through perpetual motion followed by turnover after turnover around mid field...

    Chase chase chase trying to get it back...Rinse...repeat!

    SHOW ME THE MONEY!!

    He can [censored] off with his 650k

    Sick of Ling’s biased commentary. Is he in the Tigers Cheer Squad? I would love us to win just to shut him up.

    Am I completely missing something? Honestly, the conditions are perfect and we're handing the ball like a cake of soap?

    I still think this is completely winnable, we were ontop for large parts that qtr, need to hit targets coming out if defence, then take the risky kick with less pressure.

    1.4 in 2 quarters of football. 

    In the 2nd and 3rd quarters the last 2 weeks, we've kicked 1.7.

    1.7 in 4 quarters of football.

    Most glaring issue this year is our inability to kick to advantage.. it is incredible. If it were 3 Dees to 1 tig, we would turn it over

    We are shambles. Completely dropped off in the clearances and our backline went to water under the relentless pressure. 

    We are in real trouble. We have not kicked a decent score once this year and we don’t look like coming close to it. 

    We are lucky they missed a few shots. But regardless this game looks over unless we start finding some avenues to goal. 

    McDonald has to go forward this quarter... no point trying to reduce a loss

    I must admit, that was the most frustrating quarter of footy I've seen for a while.  That includes some of the stuff we've served up this year.

    At least our defence has worked itself out it seems.  Just need the rest to jump on board.

    Here's a stat...first four goals from 8 inside 50's. We have scored one goal from the next 23.

    poor across the midfield...  we need to take marks inside the square,  move the ball thru there as we attack.

    Fritz is playing like he doesn't want to have the ball in his hands. He hands it off straight away to whoever is near him. Doesn't matter if it's a Melbourne player under pressure or a Richmond player or the ground. He doesn't take ownership of the ball and look for the best option. What's going on with that?

    • PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Way back in March we contemplated the possibility of a Demon resurgence after Simon Goodwin’s summer of love. Many issues at the club had seemingly been addressed, key players were returning from injury and a brand new day was about to dawn. We imagined the coach pulling a rabbit out of a hat. The team would roar up the charts, push aside every opponent and make its way to a Grand Final ending in ultimate triumph with Goody and Max holding the premiership cup aloft under a shower of red and blue ticker tape.

    • AFLW REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

      The final game of the 2025 Season is finally upon us and the Demons may have an opportunity to spoil the Magpies Top 4 aspirations when they face them on Friday Night. Who comes in and who goes out?
