Our handballing in close is being read too easily (happening for 3 weeks now) by opposition. Intercepted over and over again. If not this, our handball target is consistently the wrong option or at the wrong time.

    Goody needs to tear strips off em at 1/2 time. Coaches also need a rocket, starting with Yze and Chaplin.

    We look like we don’t want to be playing today. Do something Jack.

    This will be a good test to see if we can lift in the second half. Leaders need to lead

    Spargo called for it then fell over.

    hes not much taller standing up, was a lazy option but he had little else 

     

    Unless something changes we aren’t winning today bombers just doing the same thing over and over

    Spargo, Chandler & Kozzy all having the same mare


    Essendons nailing every tackle today. They are getting free and hitting there targets.

    We are bombing it, overturning it and can't get a goal.

    We’ve set up our entire game around our stars playing well and when they’re either injured or down on form our lesser likes struggle. Same as last year.

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.

    • 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.
