Fritsch and Lockhart cost us huge this last quarter, back to Casey for them


Just too many players who drop marks or miss handballs and kicks or make poor decisions.

Oliver had 2 handball clangers in a row which led to an Eagles goal.

Frost makes a great tackle then turns it straight over. How long has he been in the system?

Petracca drops marks and misses easy shots.

Garlett misses easy shots.

Hore takes a great intercept mark then squares to CHB and turns it over. His kicking is not reliable enough to ever take that kick.

Set shots terrible.

Repeat ad nauseum.

Season gone.

Whole footy department should be under pressure. Coaches and players. What a waste.

    I’ve said it before.

    Our team is full of dumb/plain footballers. Not ‘game smart’.

    Still loved the effort but there were so many opportunities tonight where we just needed to do simple ‘team’ things that we weren’t able to do.

    Not to mention bad kicking for goal.

    Post game thread will be toxic but with this list, their ground and their umps - heads high

    Typical Melbourne supporters. Act like we're a great chance after the hawthorn game, some of you should be so embarrassed by being 'excited' about the win

    Then you praise Frost and suggest he is loyal and many suggest he is ahead of May

    The year is over, accept it, move on and stop blaming the umpires when we are [censored] and inaccurate 

     

    If good players can’t  kick straight at goal they aren’t good players. Simple fact.

    mot the umps fault, our own for missing far too many easy goals

    Looking to see Rioli rubbed out for his concussion causing sling tackle on Smith

    Smith back on, but has to be careless and medium impact given he was down for a while and went off for concussion test. 


    Seriously, Melbourne must send a please explain to the AFL about poor umpiring

    • 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.
