Not overly worried as long as there is a serious week on the training track

That is the last game Weid should play this year (as a forward)

He is just not up to it

What’s with Petracca, did someone slip kryptonite into his muesli?

Not everyone is acting like 2 flags in a row is happening but their are some and a lot of others who can lay claim to the arrogant supporter type.

I get that, I’ve been told I’m negative after some results this season and that’s because you can win in certain ways and we haven’t been dominant against the spooners

Sell high on Jackson

Sparrow remains a myth

Jimmy Jordon keeps rising 

Bedford too good for VFL

Hope Rivers has his post-AFL career planned out

You sad sack of a man, won 17 in a row, they caught us with 5-6 of our best out and you start slagging off our bright stars.  I actually feel sorry for you….

Lots to take out but it just shows how reliant we have been on May and Lever mopping up and cover cracks that can appear in the middle at times.

The forward line is a mess and my boy Ben Brown needs a spell.

McDonald has been our best forward since he was dropped so he was sorely missed.

We really need our small forwards to lift, they were rarely at the feet of the big guys when the ball hit the ground.

Petracca surely just still have knee issues because he looked like 2017 Petracca again.

Rivers played one of the all time [censored] games from a defensive standpoint

The writing was on the wall. Struggled with momentum vs North and Eagles, made them look like the 2013 Hawks at times. As soon as a decent team shows up we get smacked, being inaccurate was no surprise.

 

Whilst getting wins on paper we have poor connection inside 50 and inconsistency.

 

Now with some decent teams coming up the MFC can no longer just show up, scratch a win and everyone on here act like 2 flags in a row is happening

Always when we struggle inside 50 work is a problem, been happening for ages, looks great when it clicks but too often lets us down but being good enough to win regardless covers the cracks

I don't want to see Weideman in a Melbourne jumper ever again. 

We have become a little too complacent. Changes are needed in the forward line and midfield.

First time in 35 weeks we’ve had to deal with a loss

a disappointing result, our kicking for goal is still a concern, far too many players who just did not put in or could not find the ball all night. I suspect a few of those may be going back to the VFL and we may not see them again too soon. It is a good chance to try some other players from Casey and see how they go, cannot be worse than a couple who played today.

A terrible day from start to finish. 
Don’t want to panic but last year we didn’t lose to a single top 8 side. This year we’ve only played 2 really good sides and Freo has not just beat us, they smashed us. 
 

So disappointed in so many of our players. Trac was embarrassingly poor. If he’s injured to the point where he can’t chase he needs to have time off. Brown and Weideman a disaster today. Backline had a complete meltdown without May. Smashed in the air. Smashed at ground level. Really bad day. 

Tbf we had it in our term in the 2nd quarter. Why can't we keep the intensity and clearance work on the third. 

Goodwin takes too long to realise Jayden Hunt is no Good as Full Back.

I am disappointed that we capitulated as soon as the score was no longer in our favour.

    THE ACCIDENTAL DEMONS by The Oracle

    In the space of eight days, the Melbourne Football Club’s plans for the coming year were turned upside down by two season-ending injuries to players who were contending strongly for places in its opening round match against the GWS Giants. Shane McAdam was first player to go down with injury when he ruptured an Achilles tendon at Friday afternoon training, a week before the cut-off date for the AFL’s pre-season supplemental selection period (“SSP”). McAdam was beginning to get some real mom

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the

    GAMEDAY: Match SIM vs North Melbourne

    After an agonizingly long off-season the 2025 AFL Premiership Season is almost upon us and the Demons have their first practice hit out against the Kangaroos in a match simulation out at Arden Street. The Demons will take on the Kangaroos in match simulation play, starting from 10am AEDT and broadcast live on Foxtel and Kayo. The play start time was brought forward from the initial 11am bounce, due to the high temperatures forecast.  The match sim will consist of four 25-minute qu
