Hugely disappointing. Especially since we couldnt play more than 20 mins of decent footy. Port were a class above us for most of the game

Will be a real chance to miss top 4 if we keep this up


Gameplan and coaching lost that one.

The irony is that Port weren't that good.

We're going nowhere while Goody has them playing like robots

Our coaches cost us that game.

Nkt tagging Butters after half time is inexcusable. And frankly idiotic.

May kicking in to the same f’ing spot every f’ing time is f’ing dumb.

And Yze has been outclassed by other midfield coaches most games this year, sheer talent of Trac and Clarrie paper over this, we get spanked for clearances and like the May kick ins nothing changes. 
 

Goodwin, have a look ya nonce, Butters had 40 million touches, you can put someone near him!

Tmac, go away.

JVR, your over zealous at the player cost us goals. 
 

May, never kick in again.

Score line flatters us, we were beaten for 3.5 qtrs tonight, unfortunately same story as our other losses out worked round the contest, black line under pressure all night, fwd line non functional 

 

Hated the 1st half.

Very proud of our 2nd half.

Our kicking inside F50 needs a shake up. Soooo many opportunities, and some howling shockers from seasoned players.

And although some of our forwards had poor nights, they all put in solid effort. But the delivery to them... sheesh!

 


We lost it. We won it. We lost it again.

Credit to Port. They’re a very good team. Butters had a great game

Disappointing last quarter. We should have seen it home.

Salem very good on his return. Great to have him back. Rivers fantastic as well.

I hate BT with a passion. 

Dust ourselves down and go against Freo next week.

Go Dees

Kenny dancing like he's won the flag. Winners are grinners I guess. Hope we get a shot at them again.

Anyone who will blame the umpiring for this loss is simple papering over the very obvious cracks. 
You don’t play an insipid and soft first half against a top 4 side on their home ground and win. 


Didn't deserve to win. But what a shocking last throw in by umpire, would've like to see a contest in that final 15 seconds 

Goodwin be brave and make some statements with changes.

Langdon needs a spell, JVR cannot read the flight of ball and made silly mistakes. Back to Casey please.

We fumbled all night, they were clean, almost like it was a sunny day for them.

We seriously deserved to lose and got our just rewards.

Make some hard calls Goodwin for once in your life.

Pressure needs to go on our midfield. With Clarry, Trac and Viney getting service from Gawn and Grundy, we should never get belted around the stoppages. To lose clearances 10-0 in the second quarter should be career ending stuff. Heat needs to come on Yze as the midfield coach. We’ve been beaten up around the stoppages consistently this year and it’s become a problem for us being that our game is built off contest and our stats are around the ball. 


Easy to get a run on in a quarter when you don't turn up for the other 3. 

Tired of hearing about our midfield, rack up the numbers but can apply pressure for 4 quarters. Wonder if it has to do with our terrible fitness coach.

Too tall, too slow for modern football, their midfield was harder at the ball.

port deserved to win it, mistakes by Viney and Roo hurt us badly.

Pack her up and play the kids.

Half the guys out there look like they can't move.

Tank for Reid. 

 

Another game ruined by umpiring. How many will it take, and affecting which clubs, will it take to force an improvement? Because that was truly disgraceful. On another matter, having let Noah Anderson and now Zak Butters make us look ridiculous, can only imagine what Nick Daicos is gonna do.

  • GAMEDAY: Richmond

    It's Game Day and the Demons return to the MCG to face the Tigers in their annual Blockbuster on ANZAC Eve for the 10th time. The Dees will be desperate to reignite their stuttering 2025 campaign and claim just their second win of the season. Can the Demons dig deep and find that ANZAC Spirit to snatch back to back wins?

  • PREVIEW: Richmond

    A few years ago, the Melbourne Football Club produced a documentary about the decade in which it rose from its dystopic purgatory of regular thrashings to the euphoria of a premiership victory. That entire period could have been compressed in a fast motion version of the 2025 season to date as the Demons went from embarrassing basket case to glorious winner in an unexpected victory over the Dockers last Saturday. They transformed in a single week from a team that put in a pedestrian effort of predictably kicking the ball long down the line into attack that made a very ordinary Bombers outfit look like worldbeaters into a slick, fast moving side with urgency and a willingness to handball and create play with shorter kicks and by changing angles to generate an element of chaos that yielded six goals in each of the opening quarters against Freo.

  • NON-MFC: Round 07

    Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • REPORT: Fremantle

    For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

  • CASEY: UWS Giants

    The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

  • PREGAME: Richmond

    The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?
