I think we'll just have to accept the goal kicking boots just aren't on tonight, so we'll have to win this ugly. Well, uglier then it's already been anyway. 

Can't wait to never talk about this game after the win.

    Our goal kicking is beyond bad. This game should be done and dusted.

    Still kicked 5-7 but at least been have a lead. Hopefully we get a run on in the final quarter & kick more goals than behinds

    Hunt really dumb coming inside there.  Had plenty of time to stop prop and try & hit a target.  Instead the red veil continues.

    Tracc pretty much the same from 50 in the clear earlier

    We’ll if it wasn’t for those 19 points we’d only be up by 2.

    10-20 frees our way. So expect the mother of all even ups this last quarter.

    The stats are showing that we are making a total mockery of them. This should literally be a 50 point lead. Need to kick at least 3 in this last quarter, just need to do enough and we're off.

    Jeez Weideman would want to do something decent in the last.

    Surely he doesn't have many goat photos left?

    Fritta blasted trac for blazing away at the goals

    Too many selfish shots on goal

    Yep we are 10 goals up except we can’t kick for goal.

    Better in that quarter, but there is a reason to be concerned.

    I am concerned about some of the more selfish shots on goal. Instinctive football is one thing but this reminds me a bit of the Collingwood loss last year when everyone was trying to bring about 'the play' to spark the team. We were all so interested in being 'the hero' we ended up kicking ourselves out of the game.


    The thing about this game for my eyes, we have had total domination across the vast majority of the game except for a few very short periods of time. This is a 15 goal win that will likely only be a few goals due to poor kicking. Don’t let the score be misleading

    Richmond are nowhere near us in quality. Miles away. Yet they’re actually still in the game. If it weren’t so disturbing, it’d be funny. 

     

    Not sure you can blame Weid with the ball coming in. It's been atrocious. And he still has two and has competed strongly in the air. 

    Smith a liability defensively. No time for him whatsoever.

    • PREVIEW: Richmond

      A few years ago, the Melbourne Football Club produced a documentary about the decade in which it rose from its dystopic purgatory of regular thrashings to the euphoria of a premiership victory. That entire period could have been compressed in a fast motion version of the 2025 season to date as the Demons went from embarrassing basket case to glorious winner in an unexpected victory over the Dockers last Saturday. They transformed in a single week from a team that put in a pedestrian effort of predictably kicking the ball long down the line into attack that made a very ordinary Bombers outfit look like worldbeaters into a slick, fast moving side with urgency and a willingness to handball and create play with shorter kicks and by changing angles to generate an element of chaos that yielded six goals in each of the opening quarters against Freo.

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?
