This season is starting to fall apart.

GWS loses Greene, De Boer, Briggs and Stein.

Sydney loses Mills, O'Riordan and Cunningham.

One massive out for each side.

GWS helping the cause of keeping Sydney out of the top 4. Let’s hope they keep it up. We need a few more things to go right after last night’s debacle

I know footy helps ease the pain of lockdown but Fox have done there best to add more pain with the commentary team for the Crows v Eagles game.

GWS look to be playing a high possession keepings off style like they did against us. Sydney want stoppages and then to burst forward.

My point is that certain game styles do better against certain teams, and helps to explain some of the unusual results. Swans looked great against Dogs last week, GWS looked horrible against Suns. Coaches want flexibility, but some teams are just better built for certain game styles. Pretty interesting season.

The umpires just lack any game awareness. Papley is a serial ducker and get rewarded with a free which leads to a goal. Umpires should black book players like Daniher and Papley and assume they are effectively cheating.

Posted

GWS remind me of us when we completely fall apart. Cannot stem the tide and quite frankly cannot execute a possession.

Agree with others that Sydney look at good as anyone at the moment. Their offensive game looks better than ours.

Sydney can absolutely go all the way. They are a scary proposition when they’re on and the team most like us in terms of game plan and contested footy.

I love watching Sydney.

Such a hard discipline team and well structured line up. Watch the way Parker, Kennedy and Heeney operate around the ground. No Hollywood fans over the tap [censored]. They just get the job down and keep it simple. Oliver, Petracca and Viney are exact the opposite to these guys

They are every chance to win it this year and I hope they do.

Really CB? I really can’t understand why you’d struggle to like a mob that has a profound history of cheating, chronic inter-generational ineptitude and racism, and multiple players being charged with rape. I’m truly flummoxed. 

You forgot about dwarf burning.

Why isn’t Cameron under intense pressure?  
Gifted list, enormous financial subsidies yet struggling to consistently appear in GFs.

not a great result for MFC.

anyway 2.5 games ahead of 5 and 6.

I am thoroughly sick and tired of hearing that results elsewhere are not favorable to MFC when we have the world at our feet and our destiny entirely 100% in our own hands, yet blow games like Hawthorn, Colonwood, Adelaide.  GW$ was, if in isolation, almost excusable and certainly explainable. 

To me our guys still lack any killer instinct or responsibility for their actions, and fall back into thinking that low teams are easy beats - I guess a reasonable thought  process given our recent history, but still totally inexcusable.

    HIGHLIGHTS/LOWLIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Melbourne traveled across the continent to take on the Fremantle Dockers in sweltering conditions at Mandurah south of Perth in a game that delivered the club both its highlight and its lowlight in the first minute.  But first, let’s start by doing away with the usual cliches used in connection with the game. It was just a practice match and the result didn’t matter. Bad kicking is bad football. The game was played in severe heat, the swirly breeze played havoc with both teams resulting in

    TRAINING: Friday 28th February 2025

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers headed down to Gosch's Paddock to bring you their observations from today's training session before the Demons head off to Perth for their final Practice Match. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Beautiful morning, not much wind, more than a couple of dozen spectators.  The players were up and about, boisterous and having fun. One of their last drills were three teams competing in a hard at it, handball game in a small area. Goody

    THE ACCIDENTAL DEMONS by The Oracle

    In the space of eight days, the Melbourne Football Club’s plans for the coming year were turned upside down by two season-ending injuries to players who were contending strongly for places in its opening round match against the GWS Giants. Shane McAdam was first player to go down with injury when he ruptured an Achilles tendon at Friday afternoon training, a week before the cut-off date for the AFL’s pre-season supplemental selection period (“SSP”). McAdam was beginning to get some real mom
