Pathetic football team , so much talent completely wasted.

Is it the coaching?

Somebody  please tell me why we are so useless 

Skill level.   

Decision making.

Uninspiring and clueless Coach.

Oliver had a lone Petracca to kick to. Elects to do some other rubbish. He lacks brains. 

Oliver lacks composure.

He would be the very first player i would stop taking caffeine tablets;  because he doesn't need over stimulation.

He needs to slow his reactions a bit so he has time to think, to look first.

Did his mum never teach him to look first, before crossing the road.

All the emotive rubbish as usual, Richmond are forcing us into fundamental errors, it's the players not the coach

For the love of god what is the coaches job if not to ensure we can play under pressure? Or use the footy? Or have a forward to kick to? 
What is Goodwins job mate?

    Oliver’s disposal hasn’t always been great, but sometimes it has and  he’s at least getting a lot of the ball. 
     

    our problem is, we only have one big sized forward – McDonald – and he is out of form. They need to start playing a second tall forward!!


    On paper we should be at least a top 8 side, but we are bottom 4 in the coaches box, time for the heat to go on goody, I’m just about done with this weak as [censored] organisation 

    Cotchin during half time interview: "I'm sure that Melbourne will look at a few things"

    I can almost guarantee that won't happen.

    Well the players aren’t responsible for not selecting another key forward, to give us at least a chance of taking a contested mark inside 50. That is a joke.

    And they rough bailey f. up on the siren and no one sticks up for him. How about a bit of pride?

     

     Goodwin is done. We have talent but no game plan. 


    we are the turnover kings.......pathetic decision making

    time for a(nother) re-build

    fritsch just got belted and NOT ONE PLAYER remonstrated with richmond - we are pathetic and have no team spirit

    Yep. Was very noticeable and shows where our team is at. No comradery and cliques formed again. We’re dangerously close to hitting Neeld era levels.

    True mate, it’s Richmond forcing Viney to handball to Harmes or Oliver to Gawn or Kozzie to the boundary line etc etc etc

    Only rubbish here is that post you did.

    Goodwin needs to go, is not an AFL coach?

    And then what? Richo takes over. Why doesn’t he give some advice NOW to help???

    Why did we get Brown if we won’t play him? Why didn’t we trade Weid when his currency was super high post finals if we won’t play him?

    • CASEY: Geelong

      There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

    • 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?
