Grundy and Gawn need to run Jackson around ragged and tire him out

Careful. it might be vice-versa

 

Soft insufferable display. This game plan is complete trash. I can count on one hand the players out there today who give a stuff about winning.

    What a disappointing performance. 

    Our midfield skill and aggression is not just off - it’s well below our best. We have  come way back to the pack and in some area starting to fall behind.

    Think Longmuir has coached this well, game is not on our terms at all and it's near impossible to score.

    Are we getting paid by the handball??’n

     WHY ALL THE HANDBALLS?

    And why do we always look so mental f going forward?

    Truth is we need to win today because we’re not going to bear better teams playing like this.

    IDK if its the Dees bias but I feel like we have been shafted by the umps at certain points, TMac looking better but that quarter was tough

    ANB needs to do more, I know there's a lot of love for him on Demonland. I just can't see the value he adds to our list and overall gameplan.

    Thank heavens for the defence. Nothing happening forward of the ball. Langdon can’t get into it. Spargo of his game. 

     

    Are we being out coached? (non rhetorical question)

    Worst half of footy for the year 

    worst than v lions 

    worst than v bombers 

    worst than v port 

    overhandballing is horrible 

    ineffective inside 50

    going wide going wide and wide 

    Best. Ummm Trac and lots of others just going ok. 

    Viney. Kozzzy. Chin. Do something!!! And Spargo is a negative

    Longmuir and Lyon are ugly coaches. It's putrid football to watch. Neither team will win a flag playing oppressive football. The strategy is to minimise the deficit and steal a win. Onviously you do everything you can to win but it's terrible for the game. 

    Thankfully given how poorly we are playing our defensive structure is tight and back to being the best part of our game.

    Why does Kozzy seem to be on a rollercoaster every game?.

    One spectacular goal, or play. Then 10 minutes of zero impact or involvement.

    Any chance we try and go fast and direct through the corridor?

    We’ve tried that at times but certain players don’t have the skills.

    We can revel in a time where Melbourne is OK to good vs what we have been in recent memory, but if we do we ignore the fact that we just aren’t doing very well (beating up on easy beats) and we could do so much better. We’re out coached and wasting generational talent and it’s frustrating. I’m not a sad sack I just know the better teams in recent history have not frustrated their fan bases as much as ours does.

    What are we doing!!!???

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front.  They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
