OMac playing well, at least. Don't think he's lost a contest and has looked far more proactive.

No he has fumbled easy balls causing our attacks to break down and kick has been shocking. A player with better awareness would have touhced the ball on the line.

    West Coast a class above. Whenever finals come round, they'll be front and centre, just so much talent from one end to the other.

    They look really good don’t they.

    How did the dud centre bounce straight to Naitanui not get recalled? That was just a joke.  

    Because it didn't bounce to Gawn

    Alex Neal Bullen 1 disposal that quarter.

    Someone again tell me what he brings to this side??

    Thought we might struggle a bit. You can't name Bedford and Pickett as debutantes and keep ANB in without a worry.

    Losing only one game for the season (given this will probably be the last game) is pretty good isn't it!

    what a p*** poor effort, eagles chip the ball around with ease as our players playing meters away from or behind their opponents. another 6 or 7 weeks off may help our players to hand pass and kick the ball to their team mates. To think i have been waiting months for this game to come along.

    depressing first quarter

     

    I remembered watching the Adelaide game and thinking what have they changed in terms of forward set up and tactics, the answer watching that quarter is absolutely nothing. 

    Still long bombing it to outnumbered contests instead of lowering the eyes. Are the forwards leading to space, demanding the ball? (Question not criticism)

    Seriously we are playing against one of the best defences, don’t drop it on their heads!!!

    He's fumbled it twice and still takes 5 years to get foot to ball. But yes, positive!

    We've still got no system delivering into and performing in the forward line. 
    Seems like poor coaching

    If we’d kicked straight, and they kicked crookedly, we’d be well in front, despite Gawn losing hit outs to Nicnat.

    Nullify Gawn, nullify MFC. It's too easy for the opposition to figure out.

    Only saw the least 5-10 minutes.  
    Looked so like 2020 .... randoM inside 50s .... no goals.

    Opposution easy systematic inside 50s .... easy goals. 
     

    What have we learned?


    Forward entry looks like we are still playing 2019 season. Not the start anyone wanted.

     

    Pretty pizz poor so far.

    Would it be wrong and insensitive to want the player's to start needlessly coughing and sneezing?

    Would give us some more time and space ?

    Horrendous. We have learned nothing and improved nowhere.

    • PREVIEW: North Melbourne

      Can you believe it? After a long period of years over which Melbourne has dominated in matches against North Melbourne, the Demons are looking down the barrel at two defeats at the hands of the Kangaroos in the same season. And if that eventuates, it will come hot on the heels of an identical result against the Gold Coast Suns. How have the might fallen? There is a slight difference in that North Melbourne are not yet in the same place as Gold Coast. Like Melbourne, they are currently situated in the lower half of the ladder and though they did achieve a significant upset when the teams met earlier in the season, their subsequent form has been equally unimpressive and inconsistent.

    • REPORT: Adelaide

      The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.

    • CASEY: Coburg

      The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

    • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
