3rd qtr 

✅ Melksham goal

✅ some pressure on the footy 

- chances missed inside 50 ... need marking forward 

- letting tiger smalls run

? umps crucifying us with inconsistency 

? tigers just bully us and no response 

 

 

Not that it would make a difference, but the umpiring today has been ducking terrible. Haven’t noticed it be bad for a few weeks, but today has been poor. Frees incorrectly paid and not paid repeatedly. I wish I could repeatedly [censored] up at my job and have no repercussions!

 

The misery continues people & can see another list of players in another decade achieving zero.. our plan is flawed & only one person to blame 

Astounds me how far this team has fallen. We’ve played one good qtr for 2020.

    To put it simply we fold under pressure. It was evident in 2018. Only difference is we got found out in 2019 and now the joke is on us. Up the ante and we fold like a house of cards.. turnovers are a symptom of this. 

    Melbourne players are just plain dumb. I just think we don't have any football brains out there. These players need a smart coach at least and we are missing that too.

    You can practice and practice and practice, but it matters little on game day, not sure which bit you comedians don't get, it is the onfield leadership,  which is sadly lacking today

    why is lockhart matched up with riewoldt?!??

    what is going on??

    That's called "Gifting the opposition their most preferred match up" WW.

    It is also yet another signal (if we needed any more) that Goody hasn't got a clue.

    Not much to redeem this.  Risks are obvious and not coming off.  They simply don’t have the skills or intellect to deliver.

    I can't agree.  He is getting to contests that Oscar would never get near.  We need to see what he can become. 

    Reiwoldt only has 1 goal and isn't hurting us with his 9 posessions.

    We already know what Oscar is and he has reached his ceiling.

    This isn't the backline's fault.

    Oscar can defend one on one. For all his flaws he can defend. Joel Smith is running to contests because he’s losing his opponent in the pace of the game.

    We're 17th on the ladder

     

    Great Job Simon

    You should resign in shame 


    Basically it boils down to this.

    We have no forward line.

    Statistics  even show it is the worst in the league for the past two seasons.

    Question. [censored] is Goodwin’s win loss record since he was gifted a 3 year extension to his coaching contract ?

    Fellow Demonlanders, if i win the 80 million this thursday i will pay the clubs debt and pay Goodwin out.

    Dont stress.

    Guess GWS was happy for Tomlinson to go. Horrible footballer.

    TMac, May, Hibberd, AvB at least tried that quarter.

    [censored] off our coach is [censored] can't come up with a decent game style, can't develop talent, can't develop skills, can't develop leadership. EVERYTHING IS WRONG WITH GOODWIN!

    Ads between the quarters showing deer running around on their own in headlights..

     

    not much different 

    BTW. Viney has been truly horrible in this game. Has he had an effective disposal?

    Some of these things happening can be put down to bad luck but we are creating A LOT of our own bad luck.

    We are handing North pick one. 
    Watch that kid win 3 Brownlows and be the greatest player of all time.

    I agree with most. But Smith has been caught in no man's land so many times. While the game plan is a nightmare for our defenders but Smith has been diabolical today in my opinion.

    I don't think Lever and Smith should play in the same team and Lever is so much better.

    Omac would free Lever up to play his preferred role. I dont think Omac is great but he's better than Smith.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.

    • GAMEDAY: Collingwood

      It's Game Day and the Demons face a monumental task as they take on the top-of-the-table Magpies in one of the biggest games on the Dees calendar: the King's Birthday Big Freeze MND match. Can the Demons defy the odds and claim a massive scalp to keep their finals hopes alive?
