[censored] abysmal. How long must we wait to support an average team, let alone a good one?

Disgusting...

 

I think the question of who was missing their puppy has been answered.


That was easily the softest physical display by any team this year...and possibly other than some of our own performances it may have been one of the softest across the league for the last 5 years.

Beaten physically and no f*&ks given. Multiple players $hat themselves at the physical contact and flicked the ball away. An absolutely disgusting performance by every single player who took the field tonight.

Very, very good.

 

'gutted' and 'ashamed' are the first polite words that come to my mind.

Dogs breakfast. Nobody had a half decent game. After some good signs, that hurts big time.

I can feel that numb, dead feeling circa Neeld era starting to wash over me. 
 

I just don’t care anymore. 

Hot garbage.

Even if the boys were tired.

And that's a big IF, because it's clear that the guys couldn't be arsed tonight, I just want to toy with the hypothetical.

Why the dumb football?

And the complete lack of heart?

And the lack of any semblance of a gameplan? (does fatigue affect the coach?).

We're channeling the 1970s when I was a (depressed) kid.

They're confused and without a decent system. 

It's a mess.

Lever, May, Lockhart, Sparrow, Trac.. the rest [censored] off!!

Wasn't it though? Effectively a ten goal win.  Put them away early and didn't give them a sniff. Feel for the Melbourne boys though. They were inept.

Are they going to blame the 4 day break?

This was line in the sand stuff

Almost threw up every time I heard it. They had a 5 day break and a cross country trip.


Only positive I can come up with is that I got some good stats from Boak & Wines in my Ultimate Footy side....  

Laziness is the key thing I take from today's game. Goodwin should be giving the whole squad a massive rocket for just being plain lazy from the first bounce. Petracca seemed to be trying but couldn't get anything to work. Sparrow had a go, Lockhart tried. Hibberd and Lever seemed to be trying but were caught out too often. Pickett and Jackson excused for their inexoerience. The rest of them can get [censored].

 

I truly wish I never got into footy as a youngster, I really could’ve done without the misery this club has put me through over the years

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

    It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

  • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

    The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

  • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

    The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.

  • 2025 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem   

    Salem proved to be a valuable contributor as a reliable and solid one-on-one medium-sized defender in what was undoubtedly his most impressive season since the premiership year. He remains a highly capable rebounding option for the Demons as he approaches his 200th game at the club.

  • 2025 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    Following an injury-interrupted start to the season, McVee struggled to maintain the standard he established in 2025 as he pursued an expanded role within the team structure. He remained a firm fan favourite and the club had hoped to negotiate a new contract with the former rookie selection from Western Australia, whose partner, Lily Johnson, plays for Melbourne's AFLW side. Those hopes were dashed when he expressed his desire to return to his home state and play for Fremantle. Like all players who have worn the red and blue and are leaving this year, we wish him well in the future.
