    we should not be relying on free kick to win this, we need to rely on our field kicking, our kicking is pretty poor. The team is putting in the hard yards around the ground but then turning it over. we need to stop that switch, quite a few times they switch to langdons wing they get a kick at goal. Where are out players on that side of the ground where is their accountability. We need to strong last quarter to show then who is the better team. we have a few players who are down who need to lift, ANB is certainly one.

     

    Confident?

    Not really. The Pies have their tails up and we looked under serious pressure for pretty much that whole quarter. 

    But I'm holding hope that they spent all their tickets in that quarter, and rode their luck. It has to run out, right?

    WE HAVE TO MAKE THE MOST OF OUR OPPORTUNITIES INSIDE 50!!!!

    Momentum has turned big time. Pies made up their tackle deficit in one quarter. Their pressure is immense and we are crumbling. 


    I'm getting really sick of our players stopping, trying to take on 2 tacklers, then handballing over their heads. Collingwood's pressure is too good for this and we are turning it over to their runners too many times. ANB in particular is driving me nuts.

    Also Max, and BBB should be allowing midfielders to pick it up off the ground. 

    And if I see the Pies get 1 more mark  within 20 metres of goal I will freak out. 

    Having said all that I still reckon we are the better side at this point. 

    Nibbler is garbage. Everytime we try and transition our way through he feels the need to completely stop in his own tracks and take the tackler on. 

    So infuriating

    Maxy please stop kicking mate

    Stop kicking to pockets, open the forward line up, Jesus we are predictable.


    We are in trouble here. We won’t win this in a close one. Pies are full of confidence. We are playing what can only be described as brain dead football. 

    If you were a neutral you'd say Collingwood are poised to pinch this. We need to raise our game to change the narrative.

    Can't remember Viney's last touch.

    Double the inside 50s yet only a goal up. 

    Get it in quick and our defence is caught napping, They are always on the move.

    We need to be willing to risk a few things this last quarter. Our system is seemingly choking our instinct atm, we have very little dare.


    Answer the challenge Dees

    Has Quanore been on Kozzie most of the night?  If so he's probably had the better of him so far

    Yes I think we need one set of fresh legs 

    This why I never post that we will smash a side.

    Demons just need to take a few of our opportunities and we will be okay!


    We are slow and stodgy. We need to lift big time otherwise we lose this game

    We never win these games.

     

    .....but would love it to stop tonight.

    We are toast I think, pies evened out the contest which was our advantage, now they getting more supply they over run us

     

    Anb and others are forcing a stoppage by receiving the tackle. Creates lots of stoppages and clearances 

    But not using it well at all

    • PREVIEW: Richmond

      A few years ago, the Melbourne Football Club produced a documentary about the decade in which it rose from its dystopic purgatory of regular thrashings to the euphoria of a premiership victory. That entire period could have been compressed in a fast motion version of the 2025 season to date as the Demons went from embarrassing basket case to glorious winner in an unexpected victory over the Dockers last Saturday. They transformed in a single week from a team that put in a pedestrian effort of predictably kicking the ball long down the line into attack that made a very ordinary Bombers outfit look like worldbeaters into a slick, fast moving side with urgency and a willingness to handball and create play with shorter kicks and by changing angles to generate an element of chaos that yielded six goals in each of the opening quarters against Freo.

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?
