Where is Mark Williams.  Out kicking skills have dropped dramatically.  Our forward line is broken.

    Everything about that game was predictable. Only this time we gave up a 20 point lead instead of the standard 25-30 point lead.

    Anyone who thinks otherwise is delusional.

    This has been coming ever since we struggled in large parts against North and West Coast.

    We don’t apply pressure and we can’t/don’t want to tackle anymore.

    3 games we have blown a 20 point first qrt lead.

     

    Mmmmm

    Mitch brown never to play again. Just leave weiderman in. 

    Apparently our mastermind coach reckons Mitch Brown is playing far better footy than Weid so he clearly stays in.

    Petty should not have played

    We were plain dumb not to rotate some players through the Eagles/North rounds.

    Rivers should have been the medi-sub

    Absolutely putrid day after a putrid week.
    I’m glad we have a bye. I need a break from this club for a week.

    Dire performance. We must be doing some serious loading because we have no legs. Flat as a tack.

    Ball movement like trickle. Fumbling and dropping marks. Rubbish forward 50 delivery.
    Won’t pick on any players because they’ll all out of form

    gus played well. Viney not bad. Petty before he was injured. Clarry stuck at it. 
     

    were 10-3 at the bye so plenty of time to put things right. But we better get our mojo back soon or we risk top 4

    They kicked 9 out of the last 10 goals or something like that right??

    what happened to the team that was 19 points down in a grand final and put on 100 points after that, where have they gone???????????

    Wheres the mental fortitude or toughness to stand up when we don't have momentum. 

    I just can't comprehend how bad we are at the moment.

    Thanks Mr May. 

    Let’s hope there are no more slip ups. 

    We have lost our mojo but season ain’t over yet. Bye has come at a good time but we need to get our butts back into gear quick smart.

    Not sure why we continue to turn off when we get a cushy lead. has happened 3 weeks in a row with no response. Really concerning 

    That wasn't turning off, that was running out of gas, being worked out tactically, and having no answers.

    Gawn, Turner, Petty all shot which gives an alibi.  Jackson shouldn't escape criticism for his poor effort when asked to step up.  Tracc really struggling.  Two weeks to get it right.

    They were all fit when the wheels fell off.

    we’ve got such a difficult run home.Think we all Gotta get real  about the 2022 dees. we’ve beaten no one , have no fitness edge anymore ( what happened?) , no forward line and deep injuries. I hate to say it, but finals are no certainty. we’re scrambling from here.

    Petty couldn't have done much more today. Late effort vs Mihocek wasn't great but worked hard in the absence of May.

    Yeah, we're in trouble.

    25.10 to 6.16 in second halves over three weeks.

    That isn't a May issue. Our season is done. You just don't see good teams perform like that.

    I was unwilling to accept some of the doom and gloom around here. But today it seemed like Collingwood was top 4 and we were a team trying to keep up with the top 8.

    2022 just ain't our year.

    Steven May might have made a difference to the shambolic defence, but the connection going forward was again non-existent. A big question mark is also growing about the physical fitness of a team that is developing a habit of building useful leads, only to fade away dramatically under pressure. This never happened when Burgess was there. Given the tough draw ahead, a top-four spot is in real danger now.

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 05

      Gather Round is here, kicking off with a Thursday night blockbuster as Adelaide faces Geelong. The Crows will be out for redemption after a controversial loss last week. Saturday starts with the Magpies taking on the Swans. Collingwood will be eager to cement their spot in the top eight, while Sydney is hot on their heels. In the Barossa Valley, two rising sides go head-to-head in a fascinating battle to prove they're the real deal. Later, Carlton and West Coast face off at Adelaide Oval, both desperate to notch their first win of the season. The action then shifts to Norwood, where the undefeated Lions will aim to keep their streak alive against the Bulldogs. Sunday’s games begin in the Barossa with Richmond up against Fremantle. In Norwood, the Saints will be looking to take a scalp when they come up against the Giants. The round concludes with a fiery rematch of last year's semi-final, as the Hawks seek revenge for their narrow loss to Port Adelaide. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • CASEY: Geelong

      There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

    • REPORT: Geelong

      I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?
