The coaches have to take responsibility for this rabble surely. There is something deeply wrong.

It's the coaches' fault for dropping chest marks or not being able to hit someone with a handpass 2 metres away?

    We should argue who is our worst. Spargo, daylight, Hannan and Hunt.

    His one decent game for the year at Casey.

    I'd rate it a tad higher than decent, but on that performance, if he follows up next week and doesn't get a game after the bye there'll only be one question left to ask.

    Try stopping bagging our players and find some positives. 

    There’s no positives, stop looking through rose coloured glasses

    Petracca has been good, even very good. If others were able to take advantage of his work, would look even better.

    Pies supporter,  Isn't he.?

    Smashing them in clearances, contested and uncontested ball, and...turnovers.

    We are playing in second gear and shockingly down on confidence.

    There is a distinctive lack of confidence in the game plan.

    Goodwin has until maybe round 8 next year to prove his worth. Can't see him lasting beyond that if things that drastically change.

    He's probably been our best player today.

     

    Again, probably our best today.

    He's been sure with his hands, taken good options and is our only forward that give the opposition 2nd thoughts.

    He's played at what I would call the benchmark level for an AFL player for a half of footy. As have about 6 others.

    Great. Certainly not cartwheel-worthy.

    Spargo has more possessions than the other two put together, plus a goal, but heh ... Spargo is the worst.

    The workings of the human mind are a wonder to behold.

    Trade Petracca, I know we need mids but I’d take a key fwd.

    Trac is the only one showing some energy and intent. Can’t understand the negativity towards him. TMac is the one that makes my blood boil, along with many others.

    that was horrible

    skills - cooked

    Garlett - cooked

    Spargo - cooked

    Lever - not a knock on him but maybe and extra week in the 2s would’ve been good

    No nerves today cos I have zero expectations; they are the second best side in the competition and we are the third worst 

    Just hoping we look better and play to 2018 level...

    ...just can’t see it happening for us today

    Bring on a few draught beers, a look at Lever 'n May, maybe a donut or two - life's good.

    We show no care for the footy. Dump handballs, long bombs, dropping absolute sitters. I’m tearing my hair out watching this [censored].

    They haven’t put us away yet, we are barely hanging on but still in the game. Trac has been a beast so far. Almost our best, he’s working extremely hard. We need more of that work rate from others.

    Get the midfield of GAwn, Harmes, Clariie and Gus together and tell them to let rip.

    Confidence is a bid thing !!!

    Would this help at all?

    Braydon Preuss 1 goal 3 behinds 13 kicks 6 handballs 19 disposals 6 marks 6 tackles 40 hit outs 140 dream team points

    Yeh, I'm usually pretty quick to give the benefit or the doubt when it comes to team selection... But this sucks. All summer long they're spruiking the Gawn/Preuss combo. McDonald has been giving us nothing all year long. Preuss shows something at every limited opportunity his given. Why is he not out there? I don't understand it.

    Ultimately, yes.

    Why if he is so good, he cant play in the centre? .I prefer Brayshaw, Harmes and Clarry so far. They have the tank to play in the middle. Not fit enough, me thinks. look forward to your votes.

    We've kicked 3 goals.

    Trac has one and responsible for another.

    Please yourself...

    Very good and probably our best so far...Not many are bestering along though!

    Unfortunately the club culture has been busted since Norm smith left (and probably before).  We should have kept Roos and Jackson around to see the culture really evolve.  As it is we went for a bloke to run the club in Pert who tests the culture in all the wrong ways and we have a coaching staff that’s weaker than last year.  All bad decisions but the MFC is outstanding at making those.  We are reaping the benefits of those decisions now.  Send them to Tassie and put Melbourne out of its misery.  

    Thanks  'Kingy'.

    Play in front Weids FFS ...been done twice by Moore reading the pressure kick better and played about the same games or less!!

    • PREVIEW: Richmond

      A few years ago, the Melbourne Football Club produced a documentary about the decade in which it rose from its dystopic purgatory of regular thrashings to the euphoria of a premiership victory. That entire period could have been compressed in a fast motion version of the 2025 season to date as the Demons went from embarrassing basket case to glorious winner in an unexpected victory over the Dockers last Saturday. They transformed in a single week from a team that put in a pedestrian effort of predictably kicking the ball long down the line into attack that made a very ordinary Bombers outfit look like worldbeaters into a slick, fast moving side with urgency and a willingness to handball and create play with shorter kicks and by changing angles to generate an element of chaos that yielded six goals in each of the opening quarters against Freo.

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?
