Ok itโ€™s the premiership quarter go for it !!

What a rubbish ground ball spends half the time out of bounds and you see more out on the full than any other ground. Should have been bulldozed years ago

Need our lesser lights to get the ball....

Picket Bedford and Spargo are non existentย 

Kozzys uncertainty on the far wing then trying some cute kick around the corner for another turnover.ย  Bloody awful.ย  I would rather gain 40 - 45 meters near the boundary and have the Cats win the 50 / 50 there.ย  Whose playbook is this rubbish?

Fritta just outside 50 decides he cant make it but then kicks it too close to the goal line to give anyone a chance to run on.ย  Also seermingly no signal to say "im going short here" ??

PLAY THE PERCENTAGES/BASICS if you cant make the distance or at least look for a short pass lateral to keep posession until someone makes an option!

a lot of players just not putting in not chasing, not tackling. We know they are going to run, but our players are not running with them.ย  we need our team to step up and put these [censored] down

Please get Viney off the ball he is getting caught every time he takes possession move him forward do something to change the mixย  They are negating our strengths

Goodwin mix it up a bit please

ย 

Yep, these guys need to take the first option, not take on the tackler

That development end has worse lights than the Piiron Yallock cricket ground.ย

Inside 50 efficiency - them = 51.9%, us = 25.9%.

We need a proper forwards coach, instead of Stafford doubling up his duties.

Need proper entries. Not the forwards fault we've kicked to direct opponents 10 times

Last weekend we went to watch Myrtleford play,who kick nothing but low darts into forwards for goals,ย  ย our guys kick nothing but pie floaters to pockets for turnovers.

ย 

Which one is the afl and which is the o&m ffs

Yes yes and yes. Itโ€™s our obvious need.ย 

The comforting thing is that even though we've been sloppy, we're right in this, If we start hitting targets (we've been wayyy off, it's almost like there's a jumper clash!), we'll win this. They're playing at about their best, despite a couple of misses. If we come out breathing fire and nailing passes, we win.ย 

Don't care if we lose this now. Love this club.ย 

PS - Lets all become fans that boo continually - even though our oppositions tackles never get rewarded & ours do......

Itโ€™s not the forward line, itโ€™s the blokes kicking it to our forward line. 4 times the kick has gone inside 50 straight to a cats player 15m clear of any Melbourne player. Try kicking it to anyone in a red and blue jumper and at least it may get to ground

No,ย  they just head down one side of the ground forces all the players to go into a pack situation, we don't have that type of player, we need to open it up by as it comes in, bb is OK one on one not 6 on one.ย 

Our midfield is just starting to warm up. I think we may look off but Geelong are throwing everything and taking a lot of risks by taking the corridor.

It could work for them but more likely to not.

I think. Kossy, Spargo and even more do Bedford need to step up and run harder than in the first half. ย BBb and frittata need to get on a bike as well, ย  Where does the Tour de France go tonight !!

The crowd is too small for Petracca which is why he only has his 9 touches to half time.

ย At least he is kicking goals

Why is Pickett anywhere in the team...wtf does he offer

May...get off and get some confidence

Sparrow is an overhyped player by many, he's not AFL level

Gawn, great to see u back

Nominated for game day post of the round.

poor delivery into our forward line, just booting without looking who to. need to lower their eyes and make sure they hit a target. it would also be nice if a couple of these players could move the ball on quicker. taking too much time to kick down the line gives geelong lots of time to flood back.

Maybe the next multibillion dollar taxpayer funded redevelopment will involve bulldozing the grandstands and making it an adult style width?

Mate the ball isnโ€™t even hitting the pack, itโ€™s hitting the one cats bloke standing by himself 20m away from the pack!

  • REPORT: Geelong

    I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the teamโ€™s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourneโ€™s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season.ย 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.ย Since that game, the Demonsโ€™ 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.

    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 theyโ€™ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

  • 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 โ€˜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. Sundayโ€™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?

  • POSTGAME: Geelong

    The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0โ€“4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.
