The scary thing is we pretty much have a full list to choose from at the moment. This is as good as it gets.

 Yet we made how many changes this week. 5 again I think it was. Nobody has a clue, me included.

Milkshake tries to steal a third miss for the quarter but is denied by Hunt.

He stole one of those off Pickett too when Kossie was streaming into goal.

No way. Both are settling after poor starts.

Lever's second quarter so much better with his body positioning. TMac getting to more contests and started leaping at the ball. 

And on cue any appearance of potential form....snuffed out in one quarter.  Need to roll the dice sometimes TU instead of sitting back and hoping.   Make things happen or give the opp a different look.

Goody is like a rabbit in the headlights as are most of the players.

Some individual cameos and patches of ok to very good football.  But mostly very little confidence among most and lacking 'TEAM' spirit/fight.

Sad to watch.

 

Lockhart got a game how?

    That was your chance to do something Tomlinson.  Always looks one step behind the pace of the game.

    Pumped up Lockhart in the first qtr but he's been horrible for 3 qtrs


    Take Tomlinson off FFS

    three huge errors in a row 

    Tom macs success as a forward was a fluke im afraid. 

    He simply cant mark and score.

    Move him on. PLEASE.

    A marking key forward is the difference today. 

    Such a sloppy and ineffective team. 

    If you were on who wants to be a millionaire and had to choose an MFC player as your phone a friend, who would you choose?


    Pettraca barely jogging on transition to defense too. If you are spent then get to the bench.

    This game plan does not suit our players.

    We drop marks, kick half volleys and dont man up.

    They are so much cleaner with the ball than us. 

    They have a trained system and a plan. If we don’t play chaos ball we’ve got nothing else. 

    The coach has to go.

    • 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?

    • POSTGAME: Geelong

      The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.
