Before this game I thought "Hipwood's just gonna destroy us."

Midway through the 3rd I though "Nah we've done alright."

Hipwood's just destroyed us.

 

[censored] hell Goodwin! You recruited May to play on the big forwards and yet you stick a 4th gamer on him

Atrocious coaching

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. 

Spot on. Again with the exception of Gawn, all have been absolutely shizen 


Dumb coaching loses it again

Gus another great example there of playing on at the worst time with NOBODY forward of himself to give off to.  Didnt even assess.  Just manically decided im going to play on no matter what.

Goody??

All he had to do was hold up for a couple of seconds and he had a player inside 50 with a paddock to lead in to. Plays on without looking and turns it over. So frustrating, they just have no composure whatsoever

[censored] off Goodwin. What a hack coach!

You're happy to write that about Goodwin but oh no Oscar McDonald is off limits?


Oliver and Brayshaw given a football lesson today. Harmes has played a tagging role but has had little support.

Why Was Petty still on Hipwood at the start of the fourth. [censored] I'm over Goodwin.

That pretty much sums up Goody.  I was over him after Rnd 5.

Team is devoid of skills and poise/polish.  Just the usual crash bash rubbish.

Goodwin always expects his luck to turn. It takes him far too long to change things up. I don't like saying it, but his gambling addiction mentality hurts us. He's a great assistant and clubman, but senior coach, no.


Well at least I don't have read the trippers on here talking about our finals aspirations anymore.


Wow Smith.  I can see really why they call you Bull, the way you always compete.

Tim Smith isn’t afl standard. Time to [censored] him off and bring Pruess in as a tall option and take some pressure off Gawn.

  • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

    The media has performed a complete reversal in its coverage of the Melbourne Football Club over the past month and a half. Having endured intense criticism from all quarters in the press, which continually identified new avenues for scrutiny of every aspect, both on and off the field, and prematurely speculated about the departures of coaches, players, officials, and various employees from a club that lost its first five matches and appeared out of finals contention, the narrative has suddenly shifted to one of unbridled optimism.  The Demons have won five of their last six matches, positioning themselves just one game (and a considerable amount of percentage) outside the top eight at the halfway mark of the season. They still trail the primary contenders and remain far from assured of a finals berth.

  • REPORT: Sydney

    A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.

  • POSTGAME: Sydney

    The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.

  • CASEY: Northern Bullants

    The Casey Demons travelled to a windy Cramer Street, Preston yesterday and blew the Northern Bullants off the ground for three quarters before shutting up shop in the final term, coasting to a much-needed 71-point victory after leading by almost 15 goals at one stage. It was a pleasing performance that revived the Demons’ prospects for the 2025 season but, at the same time, very little can be taken from the game because of the weak opposition. These days, the Bullants are little more than road kill. The once proud club, situated behind the Preston Market in a now culturally diverse area, is currently facing significant financial and on-field challenges, having failed to secure a win to date in 2025.
