We still rate Pickett??

I've never been able to make my mind up, but I laugh everyime I think of that video we released from draft night with our recruiters talking about him in the vein of Rioli.

    It hasn’t been in the forward line for him to a) kick goals b) defensive pressure

    Lol Pickett, does nothing but give away frees. Cant believe we've likely essentially paid more than pick 1 for him.

    That's the way guys, let's get stuck into the 7th gamer when all of our core leaders are playing poorly.

    Nothing like paying 2 first rounders and 750k a year for an OMac clone 

    You muppet, he's possibly one of about 2 of our players who are playing well.

    30-10 hitouts yet we're behind in clearances.

    Yes our mids our woefully out of form, but Max needs to learn how to give an effective hitout. Better off doing the old Jeff White thump it 30 meters forward instead of just dropping it at the feet of the opposition.

    If Goodwin sees out his contract, he will be Melbourne’s last coach.

    Pickett has to stop that stupid push in the back.

    That and spraying kicks from 30 out wide of the goals are his only attributes.

    I can’t wait for the excuses from Goodwin and his apologists

    Look for the silver lining.

     

    At least the coach will finally be torched by the media this week. Just in time for us to play bottom placed Adelaide, where we will enjoy an uninspiring 10pt win, or a soul destroying loss.

    This is as bad as anything from 2019.

    Utterly pathetic.

    I would say worse, hardly any injuries new fitness boss, still a sniff of finals ( clearly not any more ). This is pathetic.

    23 inside 50s to 7 since quarter time.

    We've been inside 50 7 times in nearly a half of football. Disgraceful.

    Goodwin will say it’s all a learning process. 

    It’s a spanking.

    Season over for mine

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front. They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
