Jeez, imagine if this 17th placed team with 10 of their best 22 out were like us…enjoying a full fit list including some of the superstars of the game. 

 

If you were to watch this game without knowing ladder position, you would 100% think the Hawks are #1 and we're #17, and the Hawks haven't put their foot down yet.

    Any chance Goodwin can start coaching and stop watching replays on an ipad!?

    I've turned off, its unwatchable, we are not a top 4 team, don't let our ladder position fool you

    I hate to say this… but something amazing will have to happen to not make this game a negative.

    Bloody lamentable.

    WTF is going on? Can anyone take a clean possession and if they do could someone give off cleanly to one of our guys in a position to do something positive? What a fricking mess that quarter was, no system, just a slog. Where are our A graders, Oliver and Tracc to get some system going?

    Free kick hawthorn making a come back. 
    Don’t care if we win this tonight …. We cannot be serious about winning many finals this year. We crack under any sign of pressure on the ball. Every team can see this clear as day. 

    You've played like garbage but you need forget it, 1 quarter. Get in there and play like it means something for crying out loud.


    We will have lost to 15th 16th 17th

    Really disappointed in our leaders tonight, where lacking any composure at all and this is against a wooden spoon contender.

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


    The way we play week to week ...

    Lets say as a hypothetical we won the flag this year.
    I'd back it in we'd drop out've the 8 next year.
    They players would decide they'd done enough and slacken right off.

    Calling Clarkeson would be a ballsy move but I'd like it.
    He wouldn't stand for that sheet.


    Can’t blame the umpires here. Hawks are hungrier than us. Winning contested possession. Winning the tackle count. They’re working harder and deserve to be in front.

    We should win still, but what a [censored] performance this has been. Coaches need to work out how to motivate the players. The mental fragility still exists.

    Showing us up as probable pretenders tonight.  Good teams don't struggle this badly against a bottom two team.

    Any chance we can kick to a lead?

    I’ve seen losses where we’ve played better than tonight. [Censored] off Melbourne. 


     

    Obvious free kick to Lever.... NO FREE!!

    • 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.

      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?

      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.
