Pizz poor second half, hang your head in shame Melbourne.

 

Terrible performance should be utterly ashamed with that effort. 
 


All I'll say is we shouldve put them away in the first half but a long shot. Very poor. Some experienced MIA when it counted, you guys know who they are. P1ssed off

 

Pathetic and shameful performance. 

We've learnt absolutely nothing this year. Complete flat track bully until too teams up their pressure and we crumble like butter.

Defence? What the actual [censored] was that crap?


Cheating [censored] [censored] in yellow absolutely garbage.

Multiple gifts from free kicks in Collingwood I50 from ridiculous calls.

All over the ground just inconsistent decisions.

[censored] that [censored].

+93 disposals.

+22 CPs.

+20 clearances.

+24 inside 50s.

+1 extra day break on our opponent, who was coming off back-to-back six day breaks.

That should be a 5-goal win, not a loss.


ANB thanks for your services

Pig Hibberd gone crackling

Release the Rooter

This one burns. Pies 2-0.

Goals win matches. Too much cute stuff and wasteful i50 entries. 

Pies played out of their skins, took their chances, kicked way more GOALS than points and rode their luck. 

We need to beat the Blues and the Lions to enter finals with momentum. At this rate I'd hate to play the Pies in the finals.


Pressure comes on, we struggle.  Over handballed, terrible by foot and our forward line continues to be a massive issue.

Our inability to put sides away when we are dominant is another big issue.

I can safely say the good teams have us worked out provided they can execute. Dogs game all over again...overrun, sloppy when we get tired, overuse the handball and defensive pressure drops. Barely ran out the game for mine.

Wasteful inside 50.. 

What is the point of 2 rucks if none impact forward.. asking for a friend..

 

Collingwood tackled with venom and intent our players did not. They played well for 3quarters but ran out of gas, very different from last year when were running over clubs in the second half. our defence was possible had the worst game of the year, so many goals from so few entries. a shame about the dropping or holding the ball rules, and possibly even throwing the ball not being applied consistently, but we had the chances too many simple shots at goal early on cost us the game.

  • REPORT: 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.

  • POSTGAME: West Coast

    Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
