If we win from here we are the real deal   but worried

 

We wont win this and our excellent start has just gone down the toilet. So too has us doing any good in Sept. Premiership aspirants DONT Lose games to Adelaide,Collingwood and now Gws! Players drinking their iwn bathwater and Goodwin failing to select BB was disaster waiting to happen

 

Difficult to see on TV but The expert comments are saying we are playing a 7 man defence giving GWS an extra around the ball when it’s being contested. We are getting belted around stoppages and thru the middle. Time to get numbers back in the middle I think. Is it Jordan playing back to make up the 7? 

 

Don't care if Weed or Brown don't get a touch. Need a contest. GWS are marking everything uncontested in our forward 50.

No point Tom Macdonald marking on the wing then kicking long to Spargo & Pickett.

Viney isnt an asset at stoppages. He is again blocking the outlet as he is 2nd to the drop. 

The Rugby player playing rugby


This is simple.

Outnumbered at the contest but we have an extra in defence. 

Oliver, Petracca, Viney, Harmes, can't win a clearance so forwards are getting nothing.

GWS have also taken the Melbourne wingers out of play.

How many more year of Viney do we have to watch lol 

Yes he's heart and soul - but he's just not a good player I'm sorry 

Game is going past him at an alarming rate

Agree. 16 rounds in and they can’t work out we go sideways when their is no key forward and then make a disposal error to turn it over.

How are our speedy small forwards looking, when the ball isn’t delivered properly, or kicked to a big forward who can bring it to ground?

Maybe a loss will force Goodys hand and bring in one of the browns.

We had sam w in for five games...dropped him without like for like.

Sick of our backline having to do all the work.

And if bbs fitness is in question then so should  vineys.

Edited by leave it to deever

 

They are going in way harder and are using it better. If we don’t lift our pressure we will lose heavily. 

Just now, Stiff Arm said:

Hibbo: 1 disposal

Toby Green: 3 goals

Time for a rethink.

Toby Green: four kicks. Yes, he has converted well, but  Hibbo is doing a great job 


They clearly want a tall in the goal square because they’re playing Gawn and Jackson in the square. But neither are forwards.

BLITHLY OBLIVIOUS GOODWIN NO IDEA 

Selection committee blocking out fugazi, aka common sense with Brown's non-selection. Too much self serving tripe at press conferences not to mention the Gawn/ Bradshaw podcast rubbish.

2nd qtr

getting smashed at the clearances 12-18 and losing contested footy 30-39 

giants switched on. Pressure acts  

who’s on kelly. Ffs he’s killing us

oliver Viney brayshaw are having zero influence 

a goalkicking tall forward !!! Give me Ben Brown now 

gawn salem May lever 

Anb goal  SPARROW goal

goody??? 

?  I think we do need a Ben Brown NOW 

? Giants have extra man at contest and we have may behind the ball. That’s a defensive mindset

? kozzzzzy. STAY INSIDE 50 ffs !!!

And if so WTF for??

Ok, I’m probably gonna cop it but I have never got all the love for Viney……sure he is hard at it but rarely does he come up with the ball and if he does he gets tackled trying to do too much. He’s not fast, blindly bombs his kicks but I guess he’s not alone there. I dunno, maybe I know nothing.  ?

No hes not hes getting totaly towelled up

Nothing to do with Ben Brown not being out there. Nothing. 

Reckon the club knew we were playing Thursday so no Brown with a 5 day break. Would suggest he only plays a half for Casey tonight.

he sucks and I'm happy to cop heat for it 

being tough isn't an asset anymore

I would trade him in a heartbeat.

He's getting exposed with the pace of the game, in 2 years he will be totally shot

Agreed. If we were winning more clearances our forwards would be more likely to score. It's as simple as that.

  • CASEY: Geelong

    There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

  • 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?
