Good while it lasted. Dogs just way too quick and our gameplan too one dimensional. you just knew after they interview Beveridge at half time that they would change things up. 

Every single time they get it out of our forward line they have 2-3 players lining up. 

If you can get loose across half back vs Melbourne = you win. Typically means you're fast enough to get space which means you're fast enough to transition. 

May and Lever saved us today from a real belting.

Why do our defenders all run to the contest and leave Wallis unattended time after time?````````

Whenever we lose, you notice Fritsch missing regularly. Just for the record.

 

Sparrows done a shoulder.... Weid refuses to play in front.  We just dont know how to bottle a match up when the opp gets a run on and our forward  half pressure is non existent.

Pickett, T-Mac & Spargo have been bog ordinary so far.  If you cant get the pill as a small forwars as a bare minimum you must force the odd turnover.

Dog player handballs it over the line...no one from Melbourne remonstrated....no deliberate.  Such an amateur club with the little things and no voice of leadership on the park

They always have 4,5,6 players around the ball.

 

Why does Weid start on fire but his second halves are lacklustre. Is it fitness?


Predictable at game not over clearly have scoring end in last qtr


Goodwin is so crap. send someone to bontempelli ffs. we clearly haven't addressed any of the defensive accountability stuff. 

If I see one more touched off the boot... JESUS!   Kids stuff!  


Far out we need this Melksham.

Only shows up around Junk time.

He's a liability 

We are getting the ball in the wrong spots. Always on a tight angle. Beveridge coached well to force us off centre.

And 4, 5, 6 out in space. They are well drilled, we aren’t. If plan A ain’t working we don’t know what to do


Inside 50 count is 6-10.

In OUR favour.

They've kicked 5 goals.

Two reasons: midfield being thrashed by theirs, and Beveridge coaching smartly with the switches.

Our forward line is absolutely pathetic today. No pressure and couldn’t hit the side of a barn

 

Melksham has been disgusting.

  • PREVIEW: West Coast

    Saturday’s election night game in Perth between the West Coast Eagles and Melbourne represents 18th vs 15th which makes it a tough decision as to which party to favour. The Eagles have yet to break the ice under their new coach in Andrew McQualter who is the second understudy in a row to confront Demon Coach Simon Goodwin who was also winless until a fortnight ago. On that basis, many punters might be considering to go with the donkey vote but I’ve been assigned with the task of helping readers to come to a considered opinion on this matter of vital importance across the nation. It was almost a year ago that I wrote a preview here of the Demons’ away game against the Eagles (under the name William from Waalitj because it was Indigenous Round).  I issued a warning that it was a danger game, based on my local knowledge that the home team were no longer easybeats and that they possessed a wunderkind generational player in Harley Reid who was capable of producing stellar performances playing among men a decade and more older than he.  At the time, the Eagles already had two wins off the back of a couple of the young man’s masterclasses and they had recently given the Bombers a scare straight after their Anzac Day blockbuster draw against the then reigning premiers.

  • REPORT: Richmond

    The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

  • CASEY: Richmond

    The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.
