Very poor conditions for our two games up here. Very poor scheduling by the afl. Muppets

Yeah, sure.  
Haven’t watched much, but were our opponents playing at a different time to us?  Could explain a lot.  ???

    We are so bad at supporting teammates. Shepherd, blocks, remonstrating....just non existent 

    No heart

    Don’t disagree that we have been outplayed. But if you read my post I was saying that no team should’ve played in Cairns in September. Woeful conditions on both games. 

    2 sides went up there and did the job

    We didn’t

    Vanders always misses these shots

    Nothing has gone right today. Vanders kicking goals included ?


    I'd say we're headed for another rebuild, and we need to recruit some talent...

    ... But seriously who the hell would want to come to us? We're a basket case, the culture is broken and we can't be bothered even doing the basics.

    I dont think I have seen a slower team. What in the world happened? We look so weak and tired.

    But not this time ?

    Good to see VB pumped after that kick trying to lift the others. Shame so many are deflated and pea hearted.


    We have 2 more years of this garbage game plan ... if Goodwin has any sympathy for the members & supporters he should resign as what’s occurring is a  disgrace & embarrassing

    Tell me, why does Goodwin move to the bench for the last 10 min? What purpose does it serve. Pick the box or pick the bench and stay there.

    For the 2nd time in 2 weeks we play a bottom 5 side and get comprehensively outcoached  outclassed and well beaten.

    Good job Simon. If you had any integrity you would resign straight after this game.

    And don't forget 2017 v collingwood who were 14th. We didn't lay a tackle inside the first 20 minutes we anted the win so bad.

     

    FFS it infuriates me!!

    he doubled the [censored] down on the game plan after the Eagles loss in 2018, Even after last year continues to double down on the game plan. this game plan does not win [censored] games let alone finals!!

    We bring in new coaches and move deck chairs on the Titanic. How can he keep selling hope to the players. these two weeks tell me he has lost the players. EVERYTHING ON THE LINE, and not even a whimper. are the boys a bit tired? who the [censored] cares? not me!!

    The dockers have had how many shots at goal? tells me the midfielders and  forwards are not doing what they should, lazy [censored]!!

     

    apologies for the swearing

    My kingdom for a [censored] small forward 


    You can't play AFL football when you're as weak at the contest as Fritsch is.

    • 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.

      The Demons return to the MCG to take on the High Flying Hawks on Saturday Afternoon. Hawthorn will be aiming to consolidate a position in the Top 4 whilst the Dees will be looking to take a scalp and make it four wins in a row. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • 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.
