    Terrible skill level.

    No leadership.

    What has happened to Tom McDonald and Fritsch?! Neither are even VFL standard at present. Staggering drop in form.

    Melbournised.

    Gee it's not pleasant viewing. 

    Just want to see our brand executed well ? then I'm sure I'll start enjoying the footy again, win or lose. 

    TMac is in horrendous form. He needs to be dropped or it reinforces that you can get a game based on your name and not your output.

    Hurry up and get Pruess back in. He’s about the only one who can take a contested grab in the F50. 

    This website is terrible for updating. Slow as a wet week

    T Mac and Petracca are garbage.

    Just win the game.

     

    Disposal to forward line deplorable. Hibberd's first reaction is to bomb long. Not helping Tmac or the forwards. They are starting to move ball a little beter in second half of Qtr. Back men need to lower eyes.

    There are seriously two sets of rules being officiated out there today... 

    Umpiring has been woeful

    Theres alot of confused looking faces out there... directionless/lost/unsure.  Not sure what it is but Goody needs to earn his pay at half time and tell them to fire the hell up.

    Some are going at it, too many are barely going.

    What to do with T-mac?

    Petracca is a potato. Trade him ffs.

    Apart from that horrible set shot, Petracca has looked dangerous all game.

    He’s got the yips when the pressure is on. Needs a psychologist for his goal kicking.

    We are...pretty bad

    No one leading for the return from play kick after a behind, no one leading i50

    Skill level putrid

    About the only enjoyment I’m getting is enjoying seeing Lockhart buck that trend and booing $cully every time he kicks it like a Melbourne player and bombing it long to no one in particular

    School kid stuff. Can't kick, can't handball and still to many in close at ball and no one spreading. Its not that hard !

    So basically he's a forward who *looks* dangerous but can't kick and buckles under pressure.

    Sounds like a keeper.

    Trac’s set shots are laughably bad for an afl footballer. He’s been good otherwise and has an impact whenever he is near the ball. Time to start getting him up into the midfield instead and play to his strength.

    Our set shots in general have been poor all year. We don’t seem to have anyone who can reliably kick straight. TMac did last year, but he doesn’t touch the ball anymore...

    Garlett has been dangerous. He’s generated more opportunities today than all our other forwards combined have all season!

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?
