Fritsch could be up there in the Coleman race if he could get his first season accuracy back

grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

yes exactly. Imagine Fritch's season if he could kick straight. 

We'd probably also be in the 8 already.

Classic deetime leakage with 30 seconds to go.

Dunn probably upset about the sleeveless.

Nowhere to stash the Winnie blues.

He probably has a few durries tucked inside that mullet somewhere.

Hannan should be in for tmac

    I hope Goodwin was giving Brayshaw a serve for the goal celebration.

    Maybe clean up your clangers first and then you can celebrate in the last mate.


    Have to stop Pendles and Sidebottom as they create all their chances.

    why do we ALWAYS give up goals late?

    whoever is manning the siren held off as long as they could to give the filth a chance to kick another too

    That last 6 seconds went for more I swear.

    Not a bad shout, he does play tall.

    Apparently has an illness though.

    We are well organized and look good so far.

    Preuss is doing a good job so far 

    Fritsch’s goal kicking is a massive issue. He misses every simple shot. It’s just not good enough for a stay at home forward.

    Sort your [censored] out!

    Tmac couldn’t even hit a target with a 1m handball. Absolutely cooked.

    Tmac looks like himself 7 years ago, a baby dear learning his body, it’s hard to watch. 
     

    We looked so good for 90% of that quarter, again goal kicking let’s us down and then the last 5 mins we give them a sniff by being to cute.

    When Gawn returns, I am all for it.  They obviously see the benefit of leaving Weideman forward, so they need that chop out ruckman which has to fall to him right now.

    I can't wait for Gawn to return so we can move on from him, though.

    When Fristch missed that goal, did anyone else think to themselves "watch us concede a goal here before quarter time" 

    I know this team too well.. it hurts my brain.

    Well Collingwood were garbage that quarter and where only 14 points in front. We need to lift.

    We should be another goal or two up but I’ll take it. 

    Considering how poor we have been in first quarters, especially over the last month, this is a massive win for us.

    Need to clamp on sidebottom and pendles. Other than that they are garbage

     

    We seem to get first hands on the ball at centre clearance but they end up taking it away, we're losing clearances by the way

    • PREVIEW: Gold Coast

      The Gold Coast Suns find themselves outside of the top eight for the first time since Round 1 with pressure is mounting on the entire organisation. Their coach Damien Hardwick expressed his frustration at his team’s condition last week by making a middle-finger gesture on television that earned him a fine for his troubles. He showed his desperation by claiming that Fox should pick up the tab.  There’s little doubt the Suns have shown improvement in 2025, and their position on the ladder is influenced to some extent by having played fewer games than their rivals for a playoff role at the end of the season, courtesy of the disruption caused by Cyclone Alfred in March.  However, they are following the same trajectory that hindered the club in past years whenever they appeared to be nearing their potential. As a consequence, that Hardwick gesture should be considered as more than a mere behavioral lapse. It’s a distress signal that does not bode well for the Queenslanders. While the Suns are eager to remain in contention with the top eight, Melbourne faces its own crisis, which is similarly deep-seated but in a much different way. After recovering from a disappointing start to the season and nearing a return to respectability among its peer clubs, the Demons have experienced a decline in status, driven by the fact that while their form has been reasonable (see their performance against the ladder leader in the Kings Birthday match), their conversion in front of goal is poor enough to rank last in the competition. Furthermore, their opponents find them exceptionally easy to score against. As a result, they have effectively eliminated themselves from the finals race and are again positioned to finish in the bottom half of the ladder.

    • NON-MFC: Round 15

      As the Demons head into their Bye Round, it's time to turn our attention to the other matches being played. Which teams are you tipping this week? And which results would be most favourable for the Demons if we can manage to turn our season around? Follow all the non-Melbourne games here and join the conversation as the ladder continues to take shape.

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?
