    And seriously Frost! How the [censored] can u argue that [censored]!

    17-3 center clearences.. [censored] disgusting our mids

     

    That was not a push in the back free kick, btw.

    Our midfield are shocking.  BEaten in every contest, not covering dangerous opp players.

    Sheesh

    Allowing man bun stick man to kick 4 in that quarter?

    Goodwin make a move. Seriously this coach! 

    Biggest fraud in the entire industry. Been saying it for ages.


    That dropped mark by weid sums him up Im afraid. 

     

    We would’ve won this game an hour ago if we could even halve centre clearances. Our centre bounce work has been pathetic.

    Clarry's finish today has been mostly shizen other than one easy short pass inside 50 that found a target.

    Seriously need to fix that or he'll be known as a ball getting beast but at the same time a turnover king offsetting the good work.

    I reckon Gus is gone.  And T-Mac also.  Time to trade both.  Seriously flawed teasers who will never take us to the promised land.

    Game over.

    Oliver, Gawn, Harmes, Brayshaw..

    All [censored] terrible!!

    I’m going to give Gawn a break. Oliver has also been horrible. Dumb handballs, unaccountable, now two way running. 

    Our midfield needs an absolute rocket. The worst performance I’ve seen from them all year, which says a lot.

    Need to have serious look at the midfield. The centre clearance stats are killing a team that supposedly has a dominant ruckman.

    Like our forward line and the gameplan it doesn't work


    How can someone that looks like that and is named Eric be dominating us like he is? Eric!

    Mate it was a clear push. Had 2 hands on his back.

    Oliver was clearly held by the arm and unable to contest the ball, but no holding the man for Melbourne players. On the other hand a Brisbane player gets brushed and wins a free kick. Rubbish, umpires.


    This is just so typical at no stage could you have any confidence. The good aspect at some stage there need to be acceptance the last seven years of rebuild has been a farce. Same mistakes happening for years it never changes. Putting aside school yard errors the over possessing of the football particularly in the middle is pathetic. Whilst Goodwin is coach expect many more years of this garbage. Being bottom three is about right.

    Stoppage coaches instructions: If we win the ball in a pack everyone stand completely still and make sure you handball to someone with at least two opponents on them. Combined iq of this club is well below average, well well below, coaches especially.

    Midfield are getting a toweling. Coach has to swing a change. Sticking a tackle in the middle might help. Max is on one leg. Couldn’t really jump for half that quarter. Not until it warmed up a bit. We shoot ourselves in the foot too often 

     

    I can wear getting beat ,but to chuck it in like some seem to be doing ps me off

    Hipwood looks like a background extra from Muriel's Wedding.

    • GAMEDAY: Richmond

      It's Game Day and the Demons return to the MCG to face the Tigers in their annual Blockbuster on ANZAC Eve for the 10th time. The Dees will be desperate to reignite their stuttering 2025 campaign and claim just their second win of the season. Can the Demons dig deep and find that ANZAC Spirit to snatch back to back wins?

    • 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?
