I can't see the Weid playing next week. Just not contributing.

    I feel numb. I sorta expected us to drop this so I’m not surprised. We look flat and uninspired. Our tackling and defensive pressure is non existent. Collingwood playing exactly how they want. Old Sidebottom giving us a footy lesson.

    First time for the season we’ve been behind at three quarter time. 

    We clearly lifted but yet again didn’t score enough from our ample inside 50s. 

    Let’s see if we spent all our tickets in that quarter or if we’ve got something left.

    Has he kicked a set shot this season?

    WHY DO WE ALWAYS KICK IT SO WIDE?!?!

    I think we're doing it deliberately today to find space. But that kick from Gawn into the pocket for Pickett was nonsense

    Oliver and Trac need to just play some basic footy. Weed let just get Brown in and leave him there. There is absolutely no physical presence. Zero

    Good lift in intensity that Q. Gawn was very good. 

    we will win this we need to look at that first half.

    its almost like we feel sorry for Buckley, want to give him a win to send him off. God I was hoping for a smashing like what they used to do to us. FFS

    Free kicks currently 20-10 our way. Might be a difficult last quarter when the umps see the count and start throwing around the evener-uppers.

    Still think we can win.

    So obviously a much better quarter, but for me we seem to have gone back to trying to do too much. Taking on tacklers when there is isn’t the space, Trac and Oliver have probably been the biggest offenders at this. 

    That said the players have definitely lifted, if we keep the intensity from that quarter going we should overrun them. Game is in the balance, first goal important.

    I would be shocked if we spent all our tickets on that quarter. We barely got going.

    Pull your [censored] finger out Demons. Playing lazy footy all day,second to the ball around the contest, no run off half back, no pressure inside 50. It's been a very frustrating performance today.

    Think its going down to the wire. Hopefully it goes our way, wpuld love to just get the win and get out of here.

    Hard to argue with you there considering we have a bye next week

    would Oliver and petracca just get the ball moving forward instead of trying to side step every bloody time and getting caught? Frustrating and costly. 

    Also, Tom McDonald, you're dead to me. 2 easy misses.

    At least the tempo was up that quarter but a few trying to do too much and a few who may as well not be out there, Just need to read the front of their MND Beanie and follow what it says on the front and we should still sneak home. Please play Jackson in ruck for the majority this quarter we just look better with him in there today,

    Agreed. If we escape with the 4 points we can bin this match and move on.

    • PREVIEW: North Melbourne

      Can you believe it? After a long period of years over which Melbourne has dominated in matches against North Melbourne, the Demons are looking down the barrel at two defeats at the hands of the Kangaroos in the same season. And if that eventuates, it will come hot on the heels of an identical result against the Gold Coast Suns. How have the might fallen? There is a slight difference in that North Melbourne are not yet in the same place as Gold Coast. Like Melbourne, they are currently situated in the lower half of the ladder and though they did achieve a significant upset when the teams met earlier in the season, their subsequent form has been equally unimpressive and inconsistent.

    • REPORT: Adelaide

      The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.

    • CASEY: Coburg

      The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

    • PREGAME: Rd 18 vs North Melbourne

      After four weeks on the road the Demons make their long awaited return to the MCG next Sunday to play in a classic late season dead rubber against the North Melbourne Kangaroos. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
