Im very critical of Goodwin but this is purely about our midfielders not working hard enough. Oliver and Brayshaw need to lift a lot.

Playing Melksham in the midfield falls on Goodwin. Playing Baker also. Goodwin cannot go out there and play himself though, so the players largely have to take most the brunt. However, Goodwin hasn’t helped us much today.

Why would you replace Viney when a soft outside player who can’t kick? Why not keep Gus and Ed on the wings and bring in Sparrow or Hunt as a direct replacement? Utter arrogance. 
Brown will take a while to warm up. He looks totally out of touch and misjudging the ball.

One of the most frustrating things about being a Melbourne supporter is that we give the football watching world legitimate reasons to ridicule us. This is why. It’s not crazy to say we’re the only club who consistently offers up these opportunities. Unless we come out with something perhaps even more extraordinary, we ARE going to lose this game, and it COMPLETELY negates any argument that we are flag contenders. We simply can’t be.

Baker is not AFL standard.

Melksham awful.

Gawn has been dominated by Goldstein.

Oliver and Trac need to get a hold of the midfield. 

McDonald missing.

North not missing a kick.

Baker should never play a game again.

Hibberd to cunnington. Kozzie in the middle, petracca fwd

 

I'd like to at least see that

 

Cunnington getting 400 possessions every time we play them is infuriating

Hibberds getting taught a lesson down back.

They are out working us, pure and simple. Every time it hits the deck they are outnumbering us. They have been able to get heaps of uncontested possessions, just like teams traditionally have against us. They aren’t going anywhere, and this is going to be a massive scrap to try and get out of here with the points. So filthy.

Did you just see tomilson with his mobile phone in the change room??? Could be issues later in the week

FFS...should know better. Can understand he was upset but should know better. On the positive even a suspension wouldnt affect him.

Could have been the authorised one. 
 

Is this game going to be a bit like Keating’s “recession we had to have”?

Just so soft and untrustworthy.

I thought at worst North might drag us down to their level before we eventually imposed ourselves, similar to the hwaks game. But the truth is North are playing us off the park. They are ahead on merit and we don;t deserve anything out of this game from here. The only hope we have is if North choke but i can't see it happening. 

Max is having his worst game ever with plenty of others not far behind. Trac the only one who has fronted up. Credit to him. Fritsch and Kozzie have done ok as well. the rest have been deplorable.

Fair call. I'm one of those fools.

Never completely place your trust in Melbourne. Not now. Not ever.

I still think we’ll win but Jesus we need about ten players to pull their finger out to pull this off.

It's people like you that are the problem. 'I still think we'll win'. Its a mindset like that that put us in this position to begin with. No idea which game you're watching but we're getting hammered all over the park.

Anyone else want to talk up Melksham?? He does not go anywhere near hard enough.Spargo has no tricks as I have said for a long time

I feel we lost it as soon as it wasn’t relocating to Marvel. We can’t play on this ground. Full stop.

No excuse , perfect conditions

Was really looking forward to winning this and bring on top. Now I’ve just accepted that we will lose and I’m just praying that it’s not a smashing

    LIVE AND LET DIE by Meggs

    The Demons’ impressive late season charge to finals will most likely come unstuck this Saturday evening when the Bombers blow up the also-ran Blues in the Ikon Park double-header.   To mangle McCartney, what does it matter to ya? To have any chance to play next week Narrm has got a job to do and needs to do it well.  We’ve got to give the Pie sheilas hell, say live and let die! It’s Indigenous Round for this game and the chance to celebrate and engage with Aboriginal and Torres

    Failed to fulfill the promise of his breakout six goal effort against the Tigers in 2023 and was generally disappointing as a key forward. It remains to be seen whether Simon Goodwin will persevere with him in attack or return him to the backline where he was an important cog in the club’s 2021 premiership success.

    After a bright start to the season, playing mostly in defence, Howes seemed to lose his way in midseason but fought back with some good performances at Casey and finished the year back at AFL level. One to watch in 2024. Date of Birth: 7 March 2003 Height: 191cm Games MFC 2024: 15 Career Total:  15 Goals MFC 2024: 0 Career Total:  0 Games CDFC 2024: 6 Goals CDFC 2024: 0

    Originally an NBL basketballer with the Brisbane Bullets, he moved across town in 2019 to the AFL Lions where he played 19 games before crossing to Melbourne where he was expected to fill a role as a back up ruckman/key forward. Unfortunately, didn’t quite get there although he did finish equal sixth in Casey’s best and fairest award. Date of Birth: 23 February 1999 Height: 198cm Games CDFC: 14 Goals CDFL: 13

    Sadly, had to wrap up a great career in midstream on the back of multiple concussions which culminated in the Maynard hit in the 2023 Qualifying Final. His loss to the club was inestimable over and above his on field talent given his character and leadership qualities, all of which have been sorely missed.

    The son of former Demon Brownlow Medalist Shane, Taj added a further 16 games to his overall tally of games but a number were as substitute. He is slowly fitting into the team structure but without doing anything spectacular and needs to take further steps forward in 2025 for his career to progress.

    The clever small was unable to cement a place in the Melbourne midfield and spent most of his time this year with the Casey Demons where he finished equal fourth in its best & fairest.

    Bowey’s season was curtailed early when he sustained a shoulder injury that required surgery in the opening game against Sydney. As a consequence, he was never able to perform consistently or at anywhere near his previous levels.  Date of Birth: 12 September 2002 Height: 175cm Games MFC 2024: 14 Career Total: 61 Goals MFC 2024: 0 Career Total: 6
