    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?

    And that’s the winner. 

    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.

    • NON-MFC: Round 05

      Gather Round is here, kicking off with a Thursday night blockbuster as Adelaide faces Geelong. The Crows will be out for redemption after a controversial loss last week. Saturday starts with the Magpies taking on the Swans. Collingwood will be eager to cement their spot in the top eight, while Sydney is hot on their heels. In the Barossa Valley, two rising sides go head-to-head in a fascinating battle to prove they're the real deal. Later, Carlton and West Coast face off at Adelaide Oval, both desperate to notch their first win of the season. The action then shifts to Norwood, where the undefeated Lions will aim to keep their streak alive against the Bulldogs. Sunday’s games begin in the Barossa with Richmond up against Fremantle. In Norwood, the Saints will be looking to take a scalp when they come up against the Giants. The round concludes with a fiery rematch of last year's semi-final, as the Hawks seek revenge for their narrow loss to Port Adelaide. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • CASEY: Geelong

      There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

    • REPORT: Geelong

      I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?
