    Lost our heads in the last few minutes. Vinny keeps doing too much. Fritta absolutely shocking. TMac great intercept but why handball 15m? Kozzie, shocking kick. 

    But of course overall very good ?.


    Wowee is Jack Viney the biggest liability out there?

    Yes. Making Harmes look like he can actually take players on.

    Good half. 2nd half we need to keep going, but stop the lairising that was creeping in in the final minutes

     

    A big issue is that Viney seldom gets dropped. If he's fit, Goodwin and the selectors generally consider him an automatic in.

    My anxiety gone by half time. That couldn't have gone any better.

    Great to be up, but horrible last 10 minutes with a ridiculous amount of possession that really sums up the Dee's broader issues:

    - Getting ahead of ourselves and being our own worst enemy

    - not composing ourselves heading inside 50

    - trying to do too much (Viney consistent offender)

    - Missing EASY goals again... at least 4 easy shots in that period each missed by like 20 metres, WTF guys?

     

    Any danger we can compose ourselves and play percentage football?

    100%. We coughed up some absolutely stock standard chances, the good thing about that is that it gives Goodwin something to talk to the players about. He should be filthy that they wasted those golden opportunities, Brown should have a bag we’re it not for some poor final kicks. 

    Viney, it’s hard not to love his determination, but an armchair tap down from Gawn and he decides to take on the entire GC midfield. First option Jack! Head on the black now, if he doesn’t have a good second half I’d be bringing in either Jordon or Melksham for him. Can’t have both him and Harmes trying to fend off every bloody player.

    Hes an absolute mess of a player.

    Needs to FRO to Casey and learn to play football. This guy will kills us come finals.

    The issue I have is Goodwin is unfortunately too soft to drop him.

    • 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.

    • 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.
