McDonald has no idea what he's doing. He's either behind the defender, standing still or no where near it. How hard is it to lead towards the ball carrier? How hard is it to make a contest and bring the ball to ground.

Apologies to his brother but Keilty has been horrible. Preuss should have been played. Worst forward line ever.

From reports, Preuss has had lingering injury problems, thus VFL to get it all sorted. Presumably right for selection next week.

    No matter what, Goodwin refuses to play man on man. We must always leave a player loose in our back half, which makes our forwardline constantly outnumbered and playing 2 on 1.

    When will we learn that without proper numbers up forward we can’t influence the scoreboard, no matter how many times we bomb it in there? 

    We cannot hit a target sure, but TMac is always playing on two defenders. And Garlett gets the ball kicked over his head and there are two loose GC players. We have no chance because we are conceding a forward.

    This is all about skills. I actually think we’re moving to the right spots but genuinely think we have the worst skills in the comp right now.

    Never seen such a huge drop off in form from one season to the next as Tom mcDonald

     

    You cant blame Goodwin for this.

    Its just an absolute ****storm of errors from us.

    Kicks over heads, handballs to players under pressure, inability to take a simply grab, fumbling over and over.

    Thats not the coach. That poor skills and zero confidence.

    What has happened to this team? They have forgotten how to play football.

    Melbourne have been bad, but posts like this are just pathetic. Hope you feel better attacking someone through the anonymity of the internet. 

    I guess that’s fair, it’s a rough call and A little over the top, but I can’t think of anyone who has had a less impressive 2 games. Good on him for making it and he will have a great local football career but realistically he’s not up to it. 

    Good contribution, really helps the chat about the game. I hope you feel better anonymously attacking someone through the anonymity of the internet

    We made and won finals without him. He isn’t the reason we can’t win a game.

    Prediction: We will come out firing, hit a few targets, score 4.6 for the quarter to their 2.2, before GC go on to kick 5.0 to 2.7 in the last.

    More lacklustre football and I'm not just potting Melbourne here this is a league thing. Between the arcs we look good but can't nail the kick into the 50. That sentence defines the league right now. 

    Well, there's an hour of my life I'm never getting back.

    Wish I'd done something more enjoyable like scrub the toilet or clean up the dog poo from the garden.

    Yeah but I think not replacing him is a massive reason why our forward line is so disfunctional.

    No Hogan Hannan, no Melbourne.

    But in all seriousness, we're really missing Hannan's link up IMO.

    Embarrassing. 

    A better team would be beating us by 6 goals 

    Really, though? We are dominating everywhere but the score, and actually defending well.

    Not sure that Hunt is a forward. He has the speed but he doesn't know what to do with it, especially up forward where you have to make the play.

    jeffy i think you are finished

     

    It might help if we stopped kicking to him as a 6”4 forward and not a crumbing forward.  Give the bloke a chance...

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
