Tracc has had two times he should have kicked for goal from 55, went for the pass and stuffed both up. 
He’s had 7 touches and I know he’s not on his own, but Dusty he ain’t. 

Brayshaw devoid of confidence at the moment. 4 touches at 25% at half time. 

Bennell has offered nothing.

 

 

Eddie, Kingy and Derm whinging about taunting in the game, and they only show the Vanders example. Of course they don't talk about Max being targeted off the ball, including being repeatedly punched in the chest in the first quarter. Or maybe they could talk about McHenry going after May after the ball is gone. Biased umps and biased commentary. 

Mahoney was so smug in the club video when he said last week was a once off performance. He was almost laughing when Ben aksed about the shocking performance against Port.

Fast forward 6 days and we are seeing something almost identical from a Melbourne point of view.

Yeah, we are up by a few points, but have not played any better than last week.

Our club is absolutely broken. We might end up winning by a few goals but right now any sane footy follower would have their money on the Cows.

This game has heartbreak written all over it.

Who would you bring in Jaded when a small fwd goes out?

Surely a Bedford couldn't do worse.

But it really is like switching witches hats at the moment.  We don't really have anyone better than ANB in the magoos right now.

Best game from Viney for a long time.

I think he's kept us in almost every game this year.

 

Seriously, this must run deeper than just what is happening on the field.  12 players don’t just lose their skill set between the end of one season and the start of another.  Reeks of “stick it to the coach”.

Our kicking in general, bar the odd one here and there (mostly to players 20 meters in the clear but even then it's a coin flip) is bloody awful.

Even senior players have no ability to finesse and just take a little power and pull a kick to a leading player.  It's horrid.  It's been a problem at this club for 50 years!

What I'd give for an Yze or Travis Johnstone in this team, now they could hit targets.


The amount of time we are open and free on the break and we can't hit targets is unbelievable, when you are watching live it tells the complete story.

3 easy goals if we are better skilled going I50.

What do we work on at training?

This is embarrassing....

Adelaide are absolute puss. They are easily the poorest team in the competition right now and we’re just fluffing around  with it. If we don’t come out with some killer instinct in the second half and put this game to bed, this game and season is dead.

At least watching fox gives me the opportunity to laugh at billy brownless and his punting adds.  
what a [censored] head !!!

Looking a bit sickly too bbo. on the sauce I suspect

Lots of passengers at the moment.  Crows are smashing us just not on the scoreboard.  If we keep them in this game they will beat us

 


Jeez Vandenburg is a [censored] footballer. He’s basically selected to try and hurt blokes. Can’t find the ball and can’t hit a target on the rare occasion he does. Been a waste of a list spot for years. 3 year contract hahaha

Bennell is cooked. Great story he got back playing, but my grandmother moves with more urgency...and she’s dead! He’s shot. Can’t run even if he wanted to. Sad to see.

Viney and May playing well. The rest have to lift enormously. Goodwin's career on line.

He's legit the worst footballer that's ever pulled on this jumper.

Spargs then? Lol.

Have you opened up anything good yet bbo?

Unless... the weapon is released to play his natural game

Mids keep it going forward

Free space/block/ruck it to ground/ create space and allow Harvey do his stuff

I expect no likes ...because most of you guys would be happy for the big H to fail.

Not me

If we don't lift and the game continues along the same lines, do we take it as a statement about the coach from the players given the messaging throughout the week?

 

 

Our coaches should be directing our players in the back line not to aim kicks to Melbourne players in the second half.

Clearly a flawed tactic so far.

Stoppage clearance 13 to 8

And people still rate our mids?

  • 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.
