A lot depends on this second half of football

 

Tbh, even though we're up, it just doesn't look like the way we play.

Straight kicking & brilliance from Tracc in Qtr1 was all it was.

Could get ugly this. Let's see.

6-1 in centre clearances St Kildas way. Our midfielder coach is pathetic, can’t remember the last time we won the game from the midfield.

    I don’t know. Why does this happen every week? Because it’s a rinse and repeat pattern. Are our players really too stupid to follow instructions? Are they deaf? Poorly coached? Blind? Dehydrated? Drunk? I mean really I’m an unfit 34 year old who has never played footy in her life and I can see it. Why can’t they? Whoever they are?

    I think it is called coaching. No tactical smarts, you know there is a time and place to attack and a time late in a quarter to be defensive but we don’t have a clue.

    This match us there for the taking.  It simply comes down to who wants it the most.

    This will tell the tale and whether the boys really are playing to win and force their way into the eight.

    If we lose i'm afraid this club will need to take a serious look at things within the FD.

    How the [censored] is a dumb kick by an experienced player and concentration lapse from the mids a second later Goodwin fault!!!

    ffs the anti-coach cult on this site [censored] me.

    Honestly turnovers happen to every team. Even the best teams. They are annoying but it’s a game played by humans who make mistakes. 
    I can forgive that but what I can’t forgive is the same horrible midfield set up that allows opposition to stream forward easily for goals every week. 

     The way this is going it'll be season hopes gone.

    I'm expecting a different ,stronger melbourne comes out after half time.

    But no money on it

    I won't argue that Jones should retire gracefully at the end of the year, but I don't think he's been THAT bad (outside of that absolute shocker of a turnover).

    Sorry Wise, he's been poor. 

    Harmes, surely, can do better in that spot on the ground.


    Lets not panic yet. Yes we squandered a good lead but we are still in yhis. One big 3rd quarter is all we need.

    Up until the horrible turnover, Jones had actually been playing quite well.  Wagner hasn't been too bad either.

    I'll give you Vanders, though.  I'm a fan but he's done nothing tonight other than setting up our third goal of the night.

    Sorry Wise I’m not stalking with all the reply’s but Vanders has been average, at best all season.

    Make that 7-1

    There were plenty of positives with Weed, Brown, Melksham, Spargo, Petracca as well as May and Lever. Let down by midfield and stupid mistakes. Gonna taken big effort from here.


    lol wow

    Oliver has been trash fire in this game. Worst game I've seen him play.

    • PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      With both sides precariously positioned ahead of the run home to the finals, only one team involved in Sunday’s clash at the Adelaide Oval between the Power and the Demons will remain a contender when it’s over.  On current form, that one team has to be Melbourne which narrowly missed out on defeating the competition’s power house Collingwood on King's Birthday and also recently overpowered both 2024 Grand Finalists. Conversely, Port Adelaide snapped out of a four-game losing streak with a win against the Giants in Canberra. Although they will be rejuvenated following that victory, their performances during that run of losses were sub par and resulted in some embarrassing blow out defeats.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.
