easier to lead when they're not being bombed in.

True but it’s a bit of both sometimes. Lower the eyes and find the kick but make the lead so they have something to kick to as well. 

Need to compose ourselves and get the win. They are a man down so we must capitalize.

    Ok we still have the lead. We just need to go back to what we did well in the 1st half. Hold on Melbourne we can win this. WE have lead and dominated all night.

    I hope the missed chances don't cost us.

    We need to come out with a quick goal.

    JKH has to go at year's end. 

    Some of these blokes like JKH and HANNAN have come from long injury layoffs, need a bit of slack.

    They better PTFO or they will get rolled 

    Wasteful shots on goal that quarter

    Come on Dees!!

     

    We had chances to kill the game in that quarter and failed to finish our work. But although I feel like the umpiring has been pretty average both ways, Harmes is being held at almost every contest but it keeps getting ignored. So many times he was clear and the hold just gave the crows the chance.

    Dominating this game and we're 2 goals in front.

    Hope we click back into 2018 mode again in the last


    Tom lynch with 11 marks.

    Havent had a player in our team take double digit marks for eons.

    Trac good effort with 7.

    Oliver and Viney quiet that qrt. 

    Good to see the boys prop and look b4 going inside 50.

    Good signs from Baker.

    another quarter like that last and we will lose this. we should be 6-8 goals up. i am not a fan of the zoning, it works when the opposition makes mistakes but when they dont they get a free run into their forward line.

    Are you being serious?

    Just a coup,e of minutes ago i i heard the ABC radio commentators giving him a big wrap. Yuo know, paid objective observers 

    Doing his job. Again. Laid a couple of crunching tackles late in the lst quarter too which should satisy his critiics who think he is not aggressive enough

    Watch with your eyes not your confirmation bias. 

    He's been average. With all the good work, there are still some pretty basic and recurring problems (such as losing sight of his player at crucial moments). I'm nowhere near as harsh on him as other people are here, but with the players coming in it's a legitimate question to ask.

    JKH's disposals are garbage.

    I know some here are commending his efforts, and yeah sure he's trying, I just wish he'd hit one of our guys on the chest, or even within 5 metres.

    He is like a rabbit in headlights. That kick in2 the man on the mark - it was waist high. Earlier in the game had a snap from 35 & it fell 10 short. He lacks penetration with his kicking ways has. People criticise Spargo ' s kicking but Spargo is a better kick. 

    It is a worry that Clarry drops off a bit and our contested ball rate goes into the bin

    Agree to an extent, mostly Hannan as he has some record. But I'm forgetting when JKH was ever good? My recollection is that he was always fringe, struggled to get a game, and when he did, he usually spent his time coughing up the ball with garbage disposals. And that's what he's doing on his return - Seems pretty consistently poor to me. But I'm happy for someone to show me the JKH highlight reel. I'm seriously open to having my mind changed.


    Serious question , why does Viney always try the blind underground handball out of backs. Just take the tackle and force a ball up

    Yep, needs help to break the Gibbs tag. Blocking, etc.

     

    p*ss off Oscar, jesus christ.  That was an easy spoil FFS

    • Thank You Simon Goodwin

      As Demon fans, we’ve ridden a rollercoaster of emotions over the decades; the heartbreaks, the near misses, the wooden spoons, and the endless waiting. But through it all, we clung to hope. And then came Simon Goodwin. Before he ever wore red and blue, he was a champion in his own right. A five-time All-Australian, two-time Best and Fairest, and two-time premiership hero and Captain with Adelaide, Simon Goodwin was always destined to lead. When he transitioned from the field to the coach's box, first as an assistant at Essendon, he began shaping a new legacy.

    • PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      Long ago and far away, the Melbourne Football Club replaced its coach in difficult circumstances after the team suffered a devastating loss. In the aftermath, I penned the following words: “Then came the politics, the intrigue, the axing, the sound of the football world laughing at a club, the circling of the media vultures, the reinvention of history, the anger, the irony, the pathos, the hurt on the face of the president, the dignified departure of the coach, and the determination of the newly appointed caretaker.” Today, we’re back in the same place although one difference here is that the coach who was terminated this time is Simon Goodwin, the man who four years ago

    • REPORT: West Coast

      The Charles Dickens novel, A Tale of Two Cities, opens with, “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, …”  This phrase highlights many of the significant challenges that humanity encounters in life, ranging from experiencing remarkable highs to living in times of despair. This is a concept that should resonate with all supporters of the Melbourne Football Club this morning as they reflect on its comprehensive 83-point victory over the struggling West Coast Eagles at Marvel Stadium. The outcome proved beyond doubt that they are the worst of clubs and that we are the best of the worst.

    • PREGAME: Western Bulldogs

      With only 3 games to go, all against Top 8 fancies, the Demons face a daunting task as they return to the MCG when they play the Western Bulldogs. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      The Demons return to town fresh off a thumping win over the back-to-back wooden spooners, the West Coast Eagles, played in front of a sparse crowd at Marvel Stadium, the same venue that hosted last week's heartbreaking loss.
