    I think your post is the most embarrassing

    As I said ages ago...if you're going to put very little pressure on the opp coming out of your 50 your going to get beaten by most teams.  By a team in the top 4....smashed.

    Exposes the gulf between our bottom 6 and theirs in terms of skills. And they are missing Tuohy, Stewart and Higgins.

    think some supporters need to cool their jets here. We ain’t winning 7 in a row to win the flag. A tune up here and beat Port at home isn’t too bad. We haven’t lost twice in a row all year and there’s no way we’re losing 3 in a row.

    This is a slaughter. Grow up!

    They played ten minutes of good footy and got lucky with a few. Happens to ever team and better happening tonight then in the next two weeks. Plus its only half time and we can get back in it.

    As bad as 2018 preliminary final. Huge stage. Big pressure.  Soft as butter.  Really.  Have to lift and get some run from someone!!!!

    You couldn't find a more bigger front runner then Bayley Fritsch.  Happy to beat up on the lower place teams but goes to water against top quality sides. Absolute front runner. Just the 3 disposals.

    McDonald is absolutely pox. Back to his 2020 form and moving like a crab.

    Brayshaw is absolutely hopeless footballer in general.

     

    One of our best vs the cats last time we played them.

    This is what happens time and time again. We put all our expectations on the Melbourne football club. They let us down. We will start all over again and again. They will let us down again and again.

    Yep and so it continues like a reacurrent bad dream

    I’m confident we will step up in the second half. We have stepped up all season when questions have been so I’m confident we will again. Result doesn’t matter at this stage but we need some sort of form to head into next week with. We can’t be as bad second half. Cmon dees 

    DELUSIONAL

    Smith is too loose on Rohan. Prefer Hibbert any day. Experiment over.

    Smith should be delisted.  One good game v crows. Terrible tonight

    Getting nothing from the umps. Having said that, this game was lost at selection. Smith and Sparrow should have been dropped, not Hibbo and Jordon. And TMac is clearly not ready, so Milkshake should have retained his spot.

    Anyway, no worries, there won’t be any finals played at Kardinia Park. Let’s beat the Cats at Optus Stadium in the GF!

    Good test now for Goody to pull some moves...Scott has given him a masterclass...fortunately it is before the finals... so we can hopefully learn and adjust

    Rubbish. Haven’t seen this all year in a second quarter. An absolutely disgraceful performance.

    Yet we somehow lead in. inside 50s 30 - 27 ..... but no structure.

    Their defence is making us look hopeless, or just impotent. Probably both. Who needs Tom Stewart?  Geelong’s flag to lose, of that their is absolutely no doubt. Red and blue glasses off, the Cats are just sensational, and have timed their tilt perfectly. I so wish it were otherwise.

    I know which is more embarrassing. I’ll give you a clue… it’s NOT the first half performance. 
    I mean, yeah, ppl need to vent but ffs some of these comments are merciless. 😞 

    T Mac has been beyond insipid tonight. We can’t in all seriousness take him into next week. Bring back Melk. Bring back anyone.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      The media has performed a complete reversal in its coverage of the Melbourne Football Club over the past month and a half. Having endured intense criticism from all quarters in the press, which continually identified new avenues for scrutiny of every aspect, both on and off the field, and prematurely speculated about the departures of coaches, players, officials, and various employees from a club that lost its first five matches and appeared out of finals contention, the narrative has suddenly shifted to one of unbridled optimism.  The Demons have won five of their last six matches, positioning themselves just one game (and a considerable amount of percentage) outside the top eight at the halfway mark of the season. They still trail the primary contenders and remain far from assured of a finals berth.

    • REPORT: Sydney

      A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.

    • POSTGAME: Sydney

      The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.

    • CASEY: Northern Bullants

      The Casey Demons travelled to a windy Cramer Street, Preston yesterday and blew the Northern Bullants off the ground for three quarters before shutting up shop in the final term, coasting to a much-needed 71-point victory after leading by almost 15 goals at one stage. It was a pleasing performance that revived the Demons’ prospects for the 2025 season but, at the same time, very little can be taken from the game because of the weak opposition. These days, the Bullants are little more than road kill. The once proud club, situated behind the Preston Market in a now culturally diverse area, is currently facing significant financial and on-field challenges, having failed to secure a win to date in 2025.
