Cannot see enough of Zorko, Berry and McCarthy right now.

Berry just like Ugle-Hagen played out of there skin against us & will probably never replicate there performances

    Simply … We threw it away this year.

    So Cats now only negative 12 cumulative points for consecutive PFs.

    Yep, I blame our dismal second half of the year squarely on the coaches.

    Sadly yes.  Hope we learn from it - and replenish our list, and even our senior team from who we have already at Casey.  And learn to manage a whole season.

    Well Geelong in a Grand Final is bad enough so lets hope the swans do the job on the filth tmmrw. A Geelong and filth granny would be too much to bear.

    Geelong are this year’s Melbourne - they were so p!ssed off at being humiliated twice by us last year, that they resolved to do better.

    A year ago we were celebrating, what a difference a year makes. 

    I stopped watching during the final quarter. I went back to watching coverage of the Queen & seeing David Beckham stand in that queue.

    Dislike both teams, but the qualifying final was an awesome game, wouldn't mind watching them go head to head again.

    Tonight just shows how bad we were last week. 

    Brisbane were out of place tonight. Should not have been playing a prelim, and would not have had we done our job last week.

    I reckon Collingwood can get it done this year. 
    There’s just something about them…

    Beat Sydney and I’m all in.

    Hopefully Goody at least watches that SF debacle, unlike refusing to in 2018. Plenty of learnings to be had.

    A little yes but i reckon they prepped for this after the 2020 loss to the Tiges.

    Injected some run into the team.  And also got Cameron courtesy of the AFL.

    Mind you the same thing helped the Tigers get their back to back with Lynch coming across to a premiership team lol.

    The AFL are lead by a shameless bunch of incestuous boys' club tossers.

    The AFL should paint a line on the ground.  Then umps wouldn’t have to shout back to the nine which is messy especially if the player plays on. No shouting. Penalise a player who doesn’t immediately head back to the line. 

    Yes makes sense Sue.  Good idea

    An embarrassing night tonight for the Melbourne Football Club - this contest will be akin to the 2019 GF or maybe even... the 2020 prelim💡 A ridiculous one sided spectacle that will only do nothing more than highlight our poor 2nd half of the season and the 'what could have beens' of an epic prelim clash between a defending premier with the highest ceiling, and the best team of the current season.

    Of course I'll watch, and I'll hope the Lions win - but it will be with very little fanfare and it will be akin to watching NM try and beat WCE in an away prelim in 2015 - ie a lost cause that will barely last a quarter or two - a story that we all know the ending to, even if it is close for 3 or 4 quarters - one team will always have the other at arms length, ready to flick that switch and win easily by a few goals.

    And even if the Lions were to get up in a Hail-Mary-Cats-Choke of epic proportions, it will do nothing but fuel even more Coodabeen Champion fantasies on DL

    Absolute Lose/lose situation. 

    I hope this prelim stings the players.

    ... And even Richmond would've put up a better performance than that. Embarrassing end to our season to let this mob into a prelim.

    Dangerfield is such a [censored]

    I wish he had been a Demon  [censored]

    He could have taught Trac how hit a leading forward on the chest or kick a goal from straight in front

    As much as I dislike Scott and his smugness his tactical brilliance is to be admired.

    Like Longmire he has a clear plan for the opps playmakers while backing in his system.  For them it isn't either/or.  They do both.  Successfully.

    Geelong didn't tag Neale.  Scott said before the game they knew he would get the ball but try to control where he got the ball and they would have several players for him.  At half time Jimmy Bartel said Geelong let Neale get the ball when he was facing the wrong way.

    They shut Neale out by having Atkins on him at stoppages, someone to close his space and stay goal side of him.  He was picked up by whoever was closest to him.  The latter is how they played Oliver.

    If Sydney win today, Longmire vs Scott will be a fascinating GF to watch.

    Every Cats fan I know was happy we lost last week as they were [censored] themselves at the prospect of losing to us in a prelim again. Funny how that was how it turned out. Almost sounds planned. #dangerflag

    • PREVIEW: North Melbourne

      Can you believe it? After a long period of years over which Melbourne has dominated in matches against North Melbourne, the Demons are looking down the barrel at two defeats at the hands of the Kangaroos in the same season. And if that eventuates, it will come hot on the heels of an identical result against the Gold Coast Suns. How have the might fallen? There is a slight difference in that North Melbourne are not yet in the same place as Gold Coast. Like Melbourne, they are currently situated in the lower half of the ladder and though they did achieve a significant upset when the teams met earlier in the season, their subsequent form has been equally unimpressive and inconsistent.

    • REPORT: Adelaide

      The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.

    • CASEY: Coburg

      The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

    • PREGAME: Rd 18 vs North Melbourne

      After four weeks on the road the Demons make their long awaited return to the MCG next Sunday to play in a classic late season dead rubber against the North Melbourne Kangaroos. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
