Has this been the most biased commentary you've ever heard?  Cameron Ling wants to boof every one of the Tiger players up the [censored].  

Mate, when you have a team playing as bad as us, what do you expect? Honestly, if I was in the Box I would be tearing our pi$$ weak players a new one. Pea hearts the lot of them.

 

At least the weekend is free now.

    I’ve been critical of Goodwin so far this year, but he made some positive moves today imo, but the skills have been possibly the worst I have seen from a Melbourne side for a decade, and that’s saying something. So many fumbles and missed handballs. Can’t blamed Goody for that [censored].

    What were the positive moves ? Any simpleton could coach to stop the bleeding which didn't hold up in the end anyway. Forward line was no existent & ball movement was just bomb away. I think he has a [censored] load to answer for tonight & the other 5 weeks

    It's like that for all our games. AFL sanctioned of course.

    Totally agree. 

    Does the afl want the cash for the fake tanking fine? Why is there so much bias against us

    So he had nothing to do with the high press being put back in place at the start of the last? Hes not in charge of the midfield setup coach? The players effort lacks when the games gone. The jogging after they waltz through our setup hurts from certain players, it wouldnt make any difference to that play, but they could effect another contest. It would be hard giving opponents such a headstart every time.


    Good. Gawn.  Melksham  Brayshaw. Hore Salem 

    passmark.  Frost  Lockhart  Viney Lewis Fritsch  Jones Hibberd Harmes Stretch 

    Poor.  Garlett.  Oliver. Hunt  Anb  TSmith 

    very poor. Petracca  Weideman. Tmcd.  

    Heads down in the room but I dont think they give a stuff.

    FCS ignore umpires, ignore commentators. We have so many issues with our list and personnel.  Our list is putrid, it is not a list capable of outside run and retaining the ball by foot. Recruiting has been putrid.  So many VFL standard players.

    Frustrating to watch full time professional footballers play like suburban amateurs. They are trying but the skills are deplorable and they work together like a group of tradies that get to train once a week together, if they have the time. 

    There are no systems down back, up forward and now our midfield group doesn’t seem to have any cohesion. 

     

    Question recruitment.  Wow last year Jason Taylor was the MAN. I argued otherwise and get shot down.  Too many plodders. Dumb players. We need soldiers that will run til their guts ache. 

    We need skilled footballers.  I could cut 25 blokes tomorrow.

    For me, our forward movement was consistently butchered by fumbling and missed handballs. You say the forward line was non existent but the ball barely even made it there due to handling errors. Not sure what the inside 50 count was, but they had pretty much doubled us last time I saw it.

    I’m not really sticking up for Goody, as I’ve been very critical of him, but there’s nothing he can do about those handling errors. It was amateur hour out there.

    Hogan for a fat slow full back 

    Great trading 

    Just great...

    • PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      With both sides precariously positioned ahead of the run home to the finals, only one team involved in Sunday’s clash at the Adelaide Oval between the Power and the Demons will remain a contender when it’s over.  On current form, that one team has to be Melbourne which narrowly missed out on defeating the competition’s power house Collingwood on King's Birthday and also recently overpowered both 2024 Grand Finalists. Conversely, Port Adelaide snapped out of a four-game losing streak with a win against the Giants in Canberra. Although they will be rejuvenated following that victory, their performances during that run of losses were sub par and resulted in some embarrassing blow out defeats.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.
