Watching the GWS vs WC game today shows me just how off we are. Gws up by 54 at half time. Instead, we get outplayed by a half. But it's apparently ok because its 'not our style'. It's no surprised Kangaroos outplayed us for a large chunk of the game too. 

Next week is a big test because we are miles off at the moment. Like how about our defensive zone after a behind? we just get sliced through with ease every time. Need to short that s*** out asap. 

I think you need to put your keyboard away or find a non-football forum to post on. You clearly have no idea what you are talking about.

 It looks like GWS will win by 70-80 points, roughly the same margin we beat WCE by, and coincidentally not much more than we beat GWS by a few weeks before that.

 We are not about to lose 7 of the next 8 games, we may lose 1 or 2, or we might just keep winning. You are actually getting tiresome.

    From 40 plus out though CYB?  Sparrow maybe but doesn't get many opportunities as he isn't playing as a genuine forward.

    Fritta from 40 plus .... meh.

    BBB on a good day but then goes missing sometimes like yesterday.

    Plugga Mac not a young fella.  Still think we need a big tall marking forward who can roost them from 40 plus and doesnt struggle with the extra distance (from 2023).

    Van Rooyen will be our version of Naughton!!

    Wasn’t much point us Melbourne supporters making much noise when we couldn’t lose, bit of polite applause was all that was required!

    You may be interested in the hawthorn Brisbane game then. 
    we got sliced open a few times last year too. By bad teams mainly with nothing to lose. Good teams are less likely to do that as it can bite you in the [censored] just as easily as it can work.  
    from my perspective our system is stronger than last year so far because we’ve ground out a few games that looked like the losses we had last year.
    form and standing isn’t static. Different teams match up better against each other. Fitness, form, match ups, training loads etc all come into it week to week. 
    we got sliced open to the tune of 52 points yesterday. Brutal.

    next week is a test. Freo need to score against us though. They won’t fly through the middle because they play a defensive system like we do. 
    we’ve stood up this year when needed and to suggest otherwise is to be barely paying attention.

    Well you’re clearly not in the cheer squad. 😁 Melbz  could be 30 goals up and us lunatics don’t drop a decibel, and we still wave those giant heads like our lives depend on it.

    Haha no I do carry on from up in the RedLegs for home games but yesterday I didn’t feel like making a big fuss, game some jerk North supporters a quiet bit of curry that’s about it

    Surprised no one has mentioned Spargo. Thought he had one of his best games last night and has taken his game to a new level this year.

    Are you in the cheer squad? Any special plans for our home game as Narrm this week? Was listening yesterday at the ground, but didn’t hear any ‘Narrm’ chants.

    The Demon army were using the "Narrm Army" chant.

    I also heard the chant "Naaaarrm" going around towards the end of the final quarter once we were well in front.

    Oh that’s cool. I was on the wing, and perhaps it got drowned out by the sound of North supporters constantly booing?

    Surely they could have used the "Narrmy Army" chant.

    Oh we were NARRM chanting our asses off. During all quarters. Likely you didn’t hear it coz the Dees supporters behind and beside us weren’t aware that we were substituting NARRM for MELBOURNE as well as for DEMONS, and were joining in the usual chant. 
    There was one NARRMY ARMY chant mimicking the BARMY ARMY chant but some of us voiced our concern re potential disrespect so that was 86-ed pronto. 
    This week’s banner will definitely feature NARRM again. Hopefully the reverse will be acknowledging Melks’s 200th. 🤞🏼

    I think that’s a little distasteful. And I wasn’t the only one who felt this way. Ergo, no Barmy Army chant.

    Melbourne supporters have no idea how to support a good team. Almost like it’s a video game or a game played by androids. And if that sounds condescending…

    It is.

    I'm worried about when we play the good teams like Brisbane and Freo

    With the form that we're in, we're losing to Freo (play them twice), Carlton, Sydney, Brisbane twice. Geelong (GMHBA) and maybe the dogs. That's 7-8 losses if we continue to play this poorly.

    Isn't this exactly what you said after the Hawks game? That we were trash and weren't going to get close to StKilda?

    True. I just think we should recognise that we aren't in form. We're playing like trash. We won't get close to Stkilda if we play like this.  People love talking about gears. When will we get into gear? If not round 7, round 10? round 18? round 23? finals? Who knows. 

    Yes. It's exactly what you said.

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      Saturday’s election night game in Perth between the West Coast Eagles and Melbourne represents 18th vs 15th which makes it a tough decision as to which party to favour. The Eagles have yet to break the ice under their new coach in Andrew McQualter who is the second understudy in a row to confront Demon Coach Simon Goodwin who was also winless until a fortnight ago. On that basis, many punters might be considering to go with the donkey vote but I’ve been assigned with the task of helping readers to come to a considered opinion on this matter of vital importance across the nation. It was almost a year ago that I wrote a preview here of the Demons’ away game against the Eagles (under the name William from Waalitj because it was Indigenous Round).  I issued a warning that it was a danger game, based on my local knowledge that the home team were no longer easybeats and that they possessed a wunderkind generational player in Harley Reid who was capable of producing stellar performances playing among men a decade and more older than he.  At the time, the Eagles already had two wins off the back of a couple of the young man’s masterclasses and they had recently given the Bombers a scare straight after their Anzac Day blockbuster draw against the then reigning premiers.

      Round 08 of the 2025 AFL Season kicks off on Thursday with a must-win game for the Bombers to stay in touch with the top eight, while the struggling Roos seek a morale-boosting upset. Friday sees the Saints desperate for a win as well if they are to stay in finals contention and their opponents the Dockers will be eager to crack in to the Top 8 with a win on the road. Saturday kicks off with a pivotal clash for both sides asthe Bulldogs look to solidify their top-eight spot, while Port seeks to shake their pretender tag. Then the Crows will be looking to steady their topsy turvy season against a resurgent Blues looking to make it 4 wins on the trot. On Election Night a Blockbuster will see the ladder-leading Pies take on the Cats, who are keen to bounce back after a narrow loss. On Sunday the Sydney Derby promises fireworks as the Giants aim to cement their top-eight status, while the Swans fight to keep their season alive. The Hawks, celebrating their centenary, will be looking to easily account for the Tigers who are desperate to halt their slide. The Round concludes on Sunday Night with a top end of the table QClash with significant ladder implications; both Queensland teams are in scintillating form. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • PREGAME: West Coast

      The Demons hit the road in Round 8, heading to Perth to face the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium. With momentum building, the Dees will be aiming for a third straight victory to keep their season revival on course. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.
