Yep. When you're a defensive side that tends not to have high scores, you need to be switched on from the first bounce.

Or you know............bring in the KPF we’ve all been crying out for

 
 

Our inability to win clearances is a disgrace today.

    Just leave gawn FF. Jackson can ruck

    Don’t worry Goody and Stafford will have that aha moment with 15 minutes to go.......

     

    We won’t resolve our forward line problems this season. We have regressed at an alarming rate. Brown won’t help cause the problem is a lack of dynamic movement which he is the opposite of. McDonald is low on confidence again for some reason. I’m getting sick of seeing our points double our goals and being in bad positions as a result. We make it look so much harder than we need to. Our midfield today doesn’t exist, which it is prone to. maybe sometimes we need to commit the extra number to the middle and trust the players to win it against the lesser sides. They park the bus and rely on bursting through and every time we lose this is how it happens. 


    Still can’t trust this club.  Coach has failed at selection and their heads are too big.  When are they going to learn it just does not happen.  Port away next week.  Top 4 out the door. NO TRUST!

    Gotta say GWS pressure has been spot on since 1/4 time.

    They have been very good today.

    Well we outscored them that quarter at least.


    Can’t kick goals - can’t win.  
    Get back to basics MFC. 

    Embarrassing. We look second rate through the middle and up forward. Our backline is the only reason we are still in this.

    Agree. No forward pressure today and watching him he just jogs around.

    • 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.

    • 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.
