Ridiculously harsh on Salem & AVB.Ā Ā 

Salem was a rock & AVB was a terrific game for someone who hadn't played for a very long time and had very little VFL football.Ā  He had a big hand in 3 goal scoring chains and came back from a huge bump.

Way too complimentary on Gawn who had his worst game in hisĀ last 50 odd.

Jackson wasn't just a game, he was once again, very poor and justĀ isn't giving enough.Ā Ā 


Cannot kick straightĀ 

Miss set shots

You can insert any number of names in this spot

Ā

Need to learn to kick more goals, even if we could turn half of those points into goal would make a huge difference.

Viney: career worst form
Players: drinking own bathwater.
Goodwin: can't motivate players

Disagree on Gawn.Ā  He tried very hard.Ā  That chase in the third was immense.Ā  My Hawthorn supporting mates said they win by 4 goals if Gawn wasn't playing.

Last 3 minutes - More composure needed.

The only reason they drew was that he was getting clear hit outs and everything went to Mitchell, Worpel & O'Meara.

Also, can't stand the smiling and lack of intensity.Ā  The Captain sets the level of intensity and fanaticismĀ  Never see Joel Selwood smiling!

Joeboy - Fair Weather Supporter?

Generous assessment of May, he was ordinary tonight.Ā

I don't know who is a less convincingĀ kick for goal, Jackson or Oliver.Ā 

Will cost us finals, our sh*tty kicking.

Can we bring Bowey in for Brayshaw yet?Ā 

I'm usually the first one to pot the umpires but not this time. The game should've been over at half time no questions asked, but we slackened off for 10 mins and lost the game. That's on our players.

Picture this, 3/4 time, our premiership hopes are on the line in terms of a top 4 finish. We recognise that we need to start winning more contests. So what happens at the first centre bounce in the last quarter? A straight forward centre clearance and kick to Lewis who strolls in to take the mark and goals. Enough said.Ā 

It was a pea hearted effort by all players and coaches tonight.Ā

Donā€™t agree with many joeboy. Trac and Clarry were among our best and what was safe and reliable about May? Poor game imo

Very selfish game by Viney... 11 tackles! He obviously is trying too hard! 32 Disposals... He should stick with 6 or 7 toĀ warrant the criticism that the astute arm-chair critics of Demonland spit out! Only third for the team on metres gained... well that caps it off!

Viney : Equal Accumulate more DIstribute

Clarrie : Lower your eyes

Kozzie : 300 Set shot practice

Gus: 500 set shot practice

Brown : Stay away from TMac

Tmac: Stay away from Brown

Petty: Keep improving

You're too caught up in the stats movement. The turnovers killed us. Time and time again.Ā

  • REPORT: Geelong

    I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the teamā€™s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourneā€™s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season.Ā There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight.Ā Since that game, the Demonsā€™ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

  • PREGAME: Essendon

    Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where theyā€™ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

  • NON-MFC: Round 04

    Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ā€˜G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sundayā€™s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

  • POSTGAME: Geelong

    The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0ā€“4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.
