Can Goody rev us up?

worst display of kicking I’ve seen in years

zero intensity

And zero creativity. We look scared to take the game on

    Hard to blame the forward line as a collective when 1) Fritsch burns 4 teammates and decides to shoot for goal instead of hitting up a teammate for an easy goal; 2) Melksham completely shanks a kick to Pickett who would have run in to an open goal.  

    We've looked far better on Langdon's wing and if wasn't for the above and our poor shots at goal we'd have put 4-5 on the board.

     

    Wow that lacked intensity and skill. Every time we kick inside 50, we are lucky to have 1 player moving, let alone anyone leading. We have a huge problem if our only leading forward is Gawn. And  talk about static. Where has our run gone?


    Almost everything from the Dees seems half hearted.

    And, yet again, no tall as the sub.  We will get screwed. 

    At least a tall as medi sub

    Their part time ruckman Dixon has more hit outs than our three ruckmen. Sheesh.

    Sub is a small when we went small anyway.

    Weid obviously is not wanted by us.

    Petracca's half effort cost us a goal. Why are we lacking so much confidence in our forward half. Better off attacking the goal. How many times do miss gettable shots on goal with no wind at the ground. Our kicking has gone backwards this season. ?lIt is so bloody frustrating. We need a forward in this team. Why didn't we pick JvR this round. Perfect opportunity to debut. 


    This game has Cairns vibes about it. No fluency, ball movement laboured and players looking lost for answers. I don't where the spark is going to come from.

    Port aren't much chop either so won't take much to beat them. Who will stand up for us? Maybe Viney can grab the game by the scruff of the neck and lead by example

    It would be downright embarrassing to get beaten by this mob.

    This game is screaming out for Trac to show why he’s top tier.

    Kozzie in the bounce!!

    1st quarter 

    🤬pathetic. Zero goals. Slow and wide and wide and wide. Not daring. No overlap running.  Go wide and wide.  
    🤬missed opportunities.  Fritsch. Pickett. Jackson. 
    🤡BBB and Bedford.  

     

    Lever back on.

    Kozzie into the middle

    • GAMEDAY: Hawthorn

      It’s game day and the Demons are chasing a fourth straight win as we take on the high flying Hawks at the G. After decades of being tormented by the Hawks the Dees will be keen to extend their 7 year dominance over Hawthorn.

    • NON-MFC: Round 09

      Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front. They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • PREGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons return to the MCG to take on the High Flying Hawks on Saturday Afternoon. Hawthorn will be aiming to consolidate a position in the Top 4 whilst the Dees will be looking to take a scalp and make it four wins in a row. Who comes in and who goes out?
