Danger milked that for all its worth.

The Cat's know how to play the umpires to perfection. They know exactly where that line of infringing is and will hold our players back or slow the game down knowing the umps won't call the real soft stuff but when we do the same they milk it to make it cross the line so the umpires have to pay it

    Another goalless quarter. We’ve got seriously game style and structural issues. We’re years away from competing again unfortunately. Our forward line is rubbish, and our mids lack footy IQ and tidy disposal.

    This club was stuffed the day Roos left and anointed Goodwin. Absolutely appalling

     

    +1 CPs, +4 clearances, +5 inside 50s.

    But we're two goals behind.

    We know this is the style of play Goodwin wants. He speaks about wanting the ball to sit in our forward half.

    Geelong knows this too. As does every other side that we've played since the start of last year.

    We can't keep going like this.

    Oliver is so frustrating! Does anyone else think he just plays so smugly 

    Yep. Needs to adjust his attitude and pronto.

     

    North will be planning who they want with pick 1. May was a huge mistake, not to mention Lever. Overpaid duds.


    Yeah look, not much has changed since last year unfortunately. 

    Gave up 2 first round picks for a useless defender who just gets brushed aside so easily.

    Can’t handle the wet and windy conditions... oh wait

    That was almost a waste of effort. Intensity was there. But if Fritsch keeps dropping sitters, Kozzie misses from 15 metres and we lose on the outside it will be a long afternoon!

    Melksham is just jogging around.

    Has cost us 4 times. Pathetic so far.

    Why wasn’t Ablett given a 50 metre penalty for preventing the Melbourne player to pick up the ball after giving away the free?

    Same reason Danger gets a fifty when staging, and why Oliver is accused of flopping when he’s tackled without the ball.. gee-long

    Nothing wrong with the defensive effort. Lacking any dare and clean take aways, May this be the last game without a second tall and can our first one please find something that resembles form.

    platers wont change their habits ,goodwin wont change his,make a move or 2 you idiot

     

     

    Geelong always overposess the footy so the stats aren’t a surprise. 
     

    I thought we were okay just missed a couple of chances. We’re in this well and truly.

    Should have been the first dropped after the Carlton game as was stated many times here, sadly our coaching geniuses thought otherwise.

    • 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.

      After four weeks on the road the Demons make their long awaited return to the MCG next Sunday to play in a classic late season dead rubber against the North Melbourne Kangaroos. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • 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.
