And people wonder why I can't stand Harmes..

The bloke deadset thinks he's Dusty.

He’s turned into the ANB of years gone by, always present but never doing anything useful

    2 arsey swans goals from blind Melbourne handballs in the last line of defence.
    But we have to start winning it in the centre or we won't win this match.

    McDonald, Hibberd, May, Oliver, Langdon, Jackson all good this quarter.

    The rest have a long way to go.

    Centre clearances as per footywire...six to one against.

    We should be three goals down.

    My goodness.

    Put Jackson in the ruck. Do anything. That is rediculous.

    Our defense from spillages is average. They are getting goals there, not from set shots.

    We need to tighten up on this.


    ❌ poor disposals to turnovers Harmes Trac Oliver Jordon 

    ❌ Maxy 

    ❌ umps (Kozzy being held all quarter)

    ❌ allow Lloyd and Rampe free across backline 

    ✅ accurate goalkicking

    Beat me to it.

     

    Can’t be this bad at clearances and expect to win. 

    Jordon and Harmes getting plenty of it but turning it over with aplomb. Real problems with both of their decision making. 

    Brown’s leading and follow up work better than last week.

    This is true and poor umpiring.


    They’ve mentioned a few times on the coverage we’ve not had intercept marks which is a big key for us.

    [censored] bounce. Gawn had no chance

    Get Kozzie into the middle for a short stint and let's win a few clearances.  Then forward again to do his best work.

    Back again in short stints when needed

    Some terrible kicks, is there something wrong with the ball


    Cant remember Gawn playing 5 bad quarters in a row. Has he had too much bathwater?

    Just wait til BBB gets form and match fit

     

    Brown and McDonald starting to work well together in the space of the G. Loving it.

    • REPORT: Geelong

      I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • POSTGAME: Geelong

      The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.
