Any risk of one of our blokes single grabbing a ball?

    As shaky a defensive effort. I’m calling it, we will get rolled!!

     

    And people don’t think we should call Clarkson. The man is a genius. Getting out coached and out played badly.

    Hibbo. NFI

    3rd quarter

    Dees pathetic effort against bottom team Again !!! 

    X bombing to packs in fwd 50 

    x no leads 

    x Hawks leading in fwd zone 

    x Hawks winning contested footy

    x Vandenburg and Viney cannot hit a target 

    X Trac handballs to no one. Handballs to Jackson surrounded by 3 Hawks. 
    x ball watching. Gawn.

    x out tackled 
    x kicking for goal. Pathetic. 

    nine negatives  

    zero positives

    Just now, leave it to deever said:

    Its bizarre we can beat every side in the eight but struggle only to bottom teams.

    We have sloppy skills, and don't stick tackles

    We're susceptible to a dog fight, but our structure holds up against class

    You can tell when we're off. Double grabbing loose balls and inviting pressure. Slow predictable ball movement. So frustrating to watch.

    % now back below Geelong.

    Any team with heart and character would have boosted their % by 10 tonight, but, no ... will be bloody lucky to even get over the lien

    Hawthorn players are just free. 6 more scoring shots. Those early misses might cost us. 

    Top teams put away these bottom teams.

    Melbourne have always had this attitude of coasting against lower teams & think it will just happen


    Boooooooooooooooo

     

    Hawthorn are out working us pure and simple. But my god umpiring that 50 set a standard. Hawthorn player ran into one of our who marked and nothing.

    • 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.
