Jeez this is hard to watch. This is a [censored] team with a huge injury list and nothing to play for. Anything less than a 60 point win is a failure tonight, and yet we’re barely ahead now. 

Wake up you lazy buggers. You can’t just rock up and win. You actually have to work to get the result.


2.3 to 4.0 this quarter. Hawks are 17th and on form worst side in the comp. Goodwin needs to give this mob a rocket. Cats and Dogs put the foot to the throat of geams like this. We just linger and make things so difficult.

If this continues i would even take Melk over Viney in the middle for a while and let Viney try and find some connection/skills down at Casey.

Problem is there's no Casey and probably won't be for weeks.

Invest in Sparrow.

Geez were walking now

 

And of course we miss.

 Gee our misses will cost us a flag.

Disgraceful


Viney needs to go down to VFL and earn his spot. Only has a left foot and it ain’t much good. Needs to know his limits and play within them.

[censored] over this. We play pathetic football against crap opposition. We need the win and the percentage. Pull your finger out and get going. This is just inexcusable to let Hawthorn waltz inside 50 for easy goals. 
Can’t even win a clearance against these plodders. Viney absolute crap. 
Need a hell of a lot more from Tmac too.

I just dont understand our team at times

 

Its so between the ears.

Its a big concern.

 

Why can’t we just bloody bury a team early!? 26 points up against 17th on the ladder, dominating where the ball is, but then take the foot off the throat....again! 

Not finishing our work, again. Brown has been good, but jeez you’d put that first shot in the bank usually. 

If any game this year confirms what we’ve been seeing all year, we just don’t know how to be a good, let alone great team. And it’s really disappointing. To give probably the worst AFL team put on the park this year a 3 goal run and a second quarter victory is frankly woeful stuff. The Hawks will likely run out of puff, and we’ll get the win, but once more against a lowly team we’ve shown our lack of dominance. 

In fact he can go back home and babysit seriously ****ful player home the I purfug did we sign a hack rugby p lk ayer up on a huge deal I mesmerising

Edited by picket fence

I am absolutely livid. Some of these players are just plain lazy. Why the [censored] do we need to make this so [censored] hard. We are so losing this game. 


Let them off the hook there, we were 4 goals up should've gone into the break 40 up, let's roll them in the 3rd!!

C'mon Demons!!!!

Disappointing. 

It’s rare that we give up chains of goals, but we did.

We need to make a statement in the 3rd quarter.

 

Lol Viney tagging Mitchell to 20 touches at half time. FMD. 
Time to get serious. You either want to stamp your authority on this competition or you want to continue to be untrustworthy. 

Opposition teams clearly know that they just have to try against us and it’s a contest. Clearly still have a softness or cockiness in our attitude. 
 

having said that Hawks are playing out of their skins. Is it coincidence or do we always bring out the best in teams.

  • PREVIEW: Fremantle

    A month is a long time in AFL football. The proof of this is in the current state of the two teams contesting against each other early this Saturday afternoon at the MCG. It’s hard to fathom that when Melbourne and Fremantle kicked off the 2025 season, the former looked like being a major player in this year’s competition after it came close to beating one of the favourites in the GWS Giants while the latter was smashed by Geelong to the tune of 78 points and looked like rubbish. Fast forward to today and the Demons are low on confidence and appear panic stricken as their winless streak heads towards an even half dozen and pressure mounts on the coach and team leadership.  Meanwhile, the Dockers have recovered their composure and now sit in the top eight. They are definitely on the up and up and look most likely winners this weekend against a team which they have recently dominated and which struggles to find enough passages to the goals to trouble the scorers. And with that, Fremantle will head to the MCG, feeling very good about itself after demolishing Richmond in the Barossa Valley with Josh Treacy coming off a six goal haul and facing up to a Melbourne defence already without Jake Lever and a shaky Steven May needing to pass a fitness test just to make it onto the field of play.

  • NON-MFC: Round 06

    The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • REPORT: Essendon

    What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.
