    Watch the Swans lock it down going against the wind. Goodwin is a clueless hack.

    in fact, watch them out score us

    Such a joke of a club 


    Can't even laugh 

    We just stink 

    At least we won the preseason 

     

    Smith is such an unclean player.

    Such a sad first half.

    Won the toss and thought the wind will win it for us.

    Too many passengers.

    No talk or connection, playing for themselves.

    Why do we let a team get a run of goals?

    Cmon dees, bring the skills.

    This is 100% on the players.

    I'd say it mostly is, but when Sydney were leaving an extra behind the ball, why didn't we man that up?  Why did we allow that to happen?  We should have done more their from a tactics point of view.

    The sad part is the footy world  expects this from the MFC ... Simply can’t be trusted and serious leadership, culture & coaching .. just can’t see them doing a Cats comeback

    I've been watching. Every game.

    You would know that if you showed up after a win. But you don't.

    Lever's 6th in the Demonland POTY votes by the way, so I'm clearly not the only one.

    And Wagner played well last week. Deserved his game this week.

    No he didn’t. In the first half he was useless. He takes too long to make a decision and then it’s too late! He gets tackled,etc

    More like - To Hell and back again 


    Can rightly have a go at the coach all we want, but even if it was a 3 on 2 entry into our forward fifty and it was not in mays, brayshaw, melksham or salem's hands i dont trust the player to make the right decision or be able to execute. 

    Our players simply aren't that good. Part of being good is being consistent and after a point it cant be coached to improve. This is our brand.

    That was our best use of half back then.  We actually hit three targets in a row.

    And great finish from ANB.

    As I’ve said. Worst. Game. Plan. Ever. 
    Such a high risk low reward plan.

    Clarry wasnt the worst in that 1st half.  Not great.  Same with Viney.   Along with May, can they bullock and drag this lot out of the mud pit to a narrow win?


    They made moves. Tomlinson back. Smith forward. I’m shook. 

    Jones on bench with thigh strapped - maybe we're a chance?

    What the [censored] was Oliver doing then?

    Jesus.  Some of the decisions tonight have been awful.

    Jones off injured.  We were playing a man down with him on anyway so no loss there.

    Excellent Langdon

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front. They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
