Reality check big time. 
 

SEVEN UNANSWERED GOALS JUST UNACCEPTABLE.   

Edited by monoccular

 

Tackled after disposal, no downfield free, tackled after disposal, no downfield free, tackled after disposal, no downfield free, bombers goal

 

Nothings changed from last year. Too often we don’t turn up with intensity.

poor half last week. Let the swans back in and were lucky to win the margin we did.

We just didn't turn up. It's a repeat of the lions game.

It's no excuse but to play 3 out of your first 5 games interstate isn't great scheduling. 

Petty not the same player this year and we have had May out then Lever. Toomos been good but like so many today's has had a shocker.

As long as Tmac doesn't get another gig I'll be happy.

 

Big heads I'm over this nonsense.  Back to losing games we should not.  Goodwin your too forgiving of bad performances.  I'm really angry that they are devoid of leadership without Max and Lever.

Just turned up, can someone tell me what happened to Spargo?

 

Ducked into a tackle and got concussed.


Petty finally influencing the game, lots of strong intercepts this quarter 

Not sure how it comes across on the tv but at the ground the team and the way they are playing is unrecognisable. Just every aspect of our game is appalling . To simplify it..every single thing for them is going right & everything for us is going wrong 


We aren’t even tackling

It's like going back in time.
And of course against the forken drug cheats.
My god.

Still feel like we're a team of front runners.
All wonderful when things are going our way but useless and incompetent when they're not.

This is up there with the Brisbane game 

2 of our worst games in 3 years in the last 5 weeks, why is our form so up and down

This game is costly ladder wise

It's worst than that. It exposes our fwd line issues. Having Max back will help but unless Bbb stars for the rest of the year we are in trouble.

Big time. Could’ve gone top of the ladder with a win. Now we’ll likely drop to 6th and be amongst a big group currently fighting for 4th-9th spot.

Very disappointing day for the club.

  • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

    The media has performed a complete reversal in its coverage of the Melbourne Football Club over the past month and a half. Having endured intense criticism from all quarters in the press, which continually identified new avenues for scrutiny of every aspect, both on and off the field, and prematurely speculated about the departures of coaches, players, officials, and various employees from a club that lost its first five matches and appeared out of finals contention, the narrative has suddenly shifted to one of unbridled optimism.  The Demons have won five of their last six matches, positioning themselves just one game (and a considerable amount of percentage) outside the top eight at the halfway mark of the season. They still trail the primary contenders and remain far from assured of a finals berth.

  • REPORT: Sydney

    A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.

  • POSTGAME: Sydney

    The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.

  • CASEY: Northern Bullants

    The Casey Demons travelled to a windy Cramer Street, Preston yesterday and blew the Northern Bullants off the ground for three quarters before shutting up shop in the final term, coasting to a much-needed 71-point victory after leading by almost 15 goals at one stage. It was a pleasing performance that revived the Demons’ prospects for the 2025 season but, at the same time, very little can be taken from the game because of the weak opposition. These days, the Bullants are little more than road kill. The once proud club, situated behind the Preston Market in a now culturally diverse area, is currently facing significant financial and on-field challenges, having failed to secure a win to date in 2025.
