NO FORWARDLINE 

no backline lever is the biggest spud ever would have alister nichalson rather than him

 

Time for a green tin.

I count ONE contested mark inside out forward 50 so far today. 

It's time to play a big body ( May?) at CHF and try and clunk some marks to at least keep the ball in there for more than 20 seconds or so.  Tommo to Lynch pls.

Oliver’s disposal today has been abysmal.

It has been for 2 years, most people just turn a blind eye to him here.

    Levers running is so lazy. Got himself caught in no mans land then and allowed dusty to kick under no pressure 

    Another goal less quarter. How many times !!

    We're unwatchable. I'd say call the season off but we'd be the same in 9 months time anyway.

     

    Can someone remind me the reasoning behind our forward line.  It isn't forward pressure  ball goes in straight out score

    He is by far and wide the worst recruit we've had

    5 free to 4 in our favour. Although sometimes it’s the frees not paid. 

    The Petracca one that handed them a goal was a shocker. The umpire even admitted no prior opportunity! Pathetic!

    I’ll say what I said earlier this week, Pickett isn’t ready

    You say this straight after his amazing 3 defensive efforts at half forward?  Not many will be agreeing with you on this one ?

    Stopped watching. Will collect on bet on Richmond (Sportsbet) ... more than 6 points up at half time. 

    this is 100% structural. we do the same [censored] thing every single time. EVERY SINGLE TIME. we then get absolutely smoked on the transition against decent teams. This is a football lesson.

    Goodwin is out of his element coaching at AFL level. This is 90s-era football being coached in a completely different football era.

    He's a [censored] Muppet.

    Needs to be dropped.

    Disposal ha ha ha. Not under 10’s standard. 
    Oliver not a disposal to us. 
    VDB can’t run or take possession.

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      It was bad enough that the Melbourne Football Club created yet another humiliating scenario inside its wretched season at Marvel Stadium last Sunday, but the final insult is that it has been commanded to return to the scene of the crime to inflict further punishment on its fans this week. Incidentally, if this match preview, of a game that promises to be one of the most unattractive fixtures in the history of the game, happens to cut out of your computer screen three quarters of the way through, it’s no coincidence. I’ll be mirroring the Demons’ lacklustre effort against St Kilda from last Sunday when they conceded the largest last quarter turnaround for victory in the history of the game.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

    • PREGAME: West Coast

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.
