I watched the Lions game... they look good.

I only saw highlights 

But i heard Fagan’s presser. He is giving players a chance to play with some natural flare. I think this is Goodwin’s biggest problem. He is all structure and gameplan

it is way too rigid, particularly on our home ground

    Hopefully we are not as bad as Freo or Adelaide - just watched 5 minutes and saw Hogan refuse to chase on three separate occasions. What a wasted or dare I say it - overrated talent!

    Hogan isn’t even a shadow of the player he was. Sad to see.

    From a kid with precocious talent who ends up a lolly pop man at road works. Will be out of the game by end of 21.

    If he pulls his finger out and fixes his attitude, I still think he could be a very good CHB. But probably more likely to go the way you think it will.

    Nah that’s a bit different story. I’ve misunderstood what you were saying. In that instance it should be a throw in. I didn’t see the footage of what you’re talking about. 

    Wish I could draw it as an example,  but I have seen guys allowed to run outside the boundary line for say 10-15 meters and then kick the ball into play and it it is all ok with the umpires.

    GWS 10.3 63 from 17 entries ....unbelievable stuff 

    Ridiculous! They are 75 points from 20 inside fifties in the last Q. Has to be a record

    You beat GWS by scrapping and playing the boundary.... see North v GWS

    If you take them on they will take you apart

    Every line packed with skill

    • 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.

    • PREGAME: Rd 18 vs North Melbourne

      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.
