The Tardis  Mc Donald is an absolute fuggin LIABILITY WHY THE FUURG DID he get a game Van Rooyen not to much better

We are asleep

 
 

Dropping marks for Port to clear effortlessly. murdered on the ground ball.


Can’t mark, can’t man up, can’t stick a tackle…so frustrating to watch

Another poor quarter. We’re yet to find our rhythm against any decent teams yet this year. Still plenty of time to get going tonight, but we need to adjust to the wet conditions. We’re fumbling the ball and slipping over and getting sucked into the contest. As soon as one port player wins the ball and flicks it outside the inner ring, they’ve got numbers and take off while we’re left flat footed. They’re basically doing to us what we perfected in 2021.

Gawn 1 disposal, Petracca 3 disposals, Brayshaw 3 disposals, McDonald 1 disposal, Viney 3 disposals. 

Where the [censored] are our senior players??

 

Concerning signs. Defence under seige that quarter. Port midfield using short kicks and handle through the corridor is killing us. We are also second to the ball a lot


6 marks inside 50 and they were all completely uncontested and in paddocks. We're very lucky it started raining when it did.

They are not going to win this, totally lacklustre quarter of footy, why do we keep going back to McDonald

Don't get the hate,  was a free kick

Correct. Kosi and Spargo got them all the time. 
 

If port players are going to duck, they can complain when they have their heads pulled off.

# free goals.


The bad Melbourne turned up… it’s always clear in the first quarter which version showed up, and this feels like the one where I stop watching about half time…

They're cutting us to shreds off half back

Follow the recipe to beat us

Pressure up on the midfielders, and in the contest, back their skills through the front of the contest

Our guys fumble, and loose checking means they walk our the front side and find a unmanned target


Melbourne not contesting

OLIVER ON 11 OR SO STANDING UP

 

I mentioned I was worried about us going in to this game soft vs port having won games against better opposition. And here we are, playing exactly like a team who hasn’t really been tested. False confidence.

3 quarters to go but our only goal has been from a 50m penalty. Not inspiring.

Is the ball just coming in quick our does our backline look useless at the moment?

  • 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.

  • PREGAME: Essendon

    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.
