Well it ain't working with

Tmac

JVR

Petty.

BBB.

So what have you got?

 

 

Petty and JVR have played about 2.5 games together up forward including tonight, and on the basis of forward half ball movement tonight I'd hardly judge them.

 

A couple of times we were almost out the front of the stoppage, only to have a little fumble letting Richmond turn it over and go through other way. Clean this up and we'll score quickly. Also as Richmond appeared to tire a little bit we started to actually get some intercepts and structure. Umps can get stuffed

Fmd, calm down, we're 2 goals down and have been playing 2 teams out there, positive energy and thoughts y'all 

Will try, we need to be a lot better and harder.

 

Viney has stepped up and we've started clunking marks around the ground. Big 3rd q coming up.

Same as last week. So predictable. Should Kick the ball on angles and low into the forward line like every other team does against us!

 

The good game day  coaches must love Goodwin

Van Rooyen is playing his second game and his last!

Mate this is embarrassing even for the game day thread.

How about we move 5 players sling the 60 arc and leave the rest of the space for Fritch from FF

Hi all from up here in Qld. Can someone tell me if JVR is playing in this game as I have not seen him.

A bin average half of football from us. Second to most balls, not working the extra 5% to help each other out. 50+ opposition points in the board by half time again, yay.

I don't care if they umpiring has been bad, there was no point in that 2nd quarter where I thought we'd get a run on. Every little ricochet, soccer kick, flick on favoured Richmond and they sliced us through the middle. We suck right now and are not playing the correct football to win.

Something is not working in the middle, get Gus in there, change it up a bit. We need to win some god damn ball out of the middle, get more inside 50s.

The one redeeming factor is there is 14 points in it. But if we don't come out absolutely striking fear into their hearts then it will be a long night. Find your Demon spirit and apply it. 

It's going to be hard work, Richmond have a head of steam up now and are running much harder than us, impossible your physicality and unlock the Demon within. One more time, FORGET about the umpiring and win the ball. 

Yep, swing Brayshaw into the middle and leave Trac down forward.

JVR is being out-muscled but I would just get him to move more. Apart from BBB he is our best forward option and one I like. TMac is probably done, and I am no believer In Schache.

We miss Salem so much. Bowey, Rivers and McVee poor tonight and making horrid decisions.

Would put Big M to CHF.... grundy in the ruck.

Sub Bill on for JVR

Yes. What's the point of having the two big rucks? We need a target.

Checked the rule book as I couldn’t understand the free against Lever. 
 

still not sure I understand…

Love the idea. Too extravagant for Goody

Captains point


Banana Max??

Balta took his eyes off the ball to body Gawn. Lucky he marked it cause that wouldn’t be called in our f50

  • REPORT: Geelong

    I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

    Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

  • NON-MFC: Round 04

    Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

  • POSTGAME: Geelong

    The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.
