Back to kicking long without looking, while they look for leads. Who’s up the top again?

So hard to watch.

Hawks have turned this into a scrappy Auskick game and it's working

Any chance we can hit a leading target inside 50 or on the Arc???

No chance we bomb it and it 3 talls fly for it and spoil each other

 

u guys should block me coz im gonna come so hard for all the people that were talking about top 2/top 4 etc. despite a body of evidence that shows we have a soft underbelly. 


Look at that.  One kick to the 50 hits.  Then another on the lead between a pack of 5 defenders.  This has to be the worst game we've played this season.  Just ahead of the Pies and then GWS.

We'll be lucky to make a PF.

    We are just bombing it in our 50 and going back to handballing

    Our backline hasn't been great tonight. 

    And you wonder why we don't get talked up as premiership favourites. 

    The players attitudes have been pathetic.

    We do that ourselves.
    Not enough class to slice anyone apart.

    They’re working harder and they’re hungrier. We should come out breathing fire this quarter and instead were barely giving a yell. They’ve  won the quarter on the scoreboard and they’re leading the tackle count 24-9. 

    WAKE UP YOU LAZY [censored]

    Now panicked settle in, a game we controlled we now are in trouble of losing

     

    Oliver complaining about an umpiring decision while the play is still going, Hawks goal.

    That's a microcosm of our attitude tonight.

    • 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.
