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: 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.
