Haven’t had a chance to see the first half. But just looking at the stats we consistently have a lot of players that don’t get much of the ball. Rely on about 4 mids at that’s it. 

 

Club is cooked. 

If we win this i hope we do NOT sing the song. 

Brayshaw, ANB, Salem, Fritsch.  Please all of you take the next flight back to Melbourne and don't ever appear for this club again.

    I'm most annoyed about the lack of 50 when we finally got a holding the ball free kick and Talia just drops the ball to the ground.

    Saw that

    And you can see the umpire saw it too, and thought about it, but decided not to pay it

    ANB, AVB, Brayshaw, Bennell- pathetic non-contributors. Langdons disposal is disgraceful. Very little from Lockhart or Tomlinson. We carry too many substandard players 

    We are a rabble.

    Can't see any logic in Goodwin continuing. Into his fourth season there is no evidence that he can imprint a method on his players that wins games and stands up under pressure.

    Salem .. 50% disposal efficiency, 8 clangers & 3 frees against. Our best players are going backwards at the rate of knots. 

    Right now, he can only hit a target 15-20 metres away under little pressure.  Anything else and he is next to useless.

    Dear Glen Bartlett,

    If you want to do something to show this club is serious ask the AFL publicly to explain the free kick differential, and while you are at it ask them to explain the horrifically biased and one sided commentary we have to sit through as supporters.

    Enough is enough. Collingwood wouldn’t accept it, and why should we?

    Any other team would make a formal complaint about this umpiring.

    I'm at the game and the umpiring is diabolical, plus our entries as usual below par.

    Our young players are too conscious of handballing it off rather than taking opportunities. 

    That screams over coached and scared to make the “right decision”.

    Yep this team is trash. This game just looks and feel like a bottom two clash. I'm not looking forward to getting beaten by 6 goals by norf on Sunday 

    I’m not looking forward to giving north pic 2 either. 


    Can’t seem to kick, take a contested mark, receive the ball, collect a ground ball, keep on our feet or aim a tackle below shoulder height. Glad we are fit though. 
     

    bloody frustrating.

    Bottom club with a 19 clearances to 12 lead at half time. 

    Bartlett’s spray isn’t working.

    We could win by 10 goals and it won't matter. This team and this coach don't have it. Need to cut our loses. Fail quickly. We are just letting this drag on now.

    • 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?
