Harmes can leave for anybody.   That kick that he tried to intercept that was meant for van rooyen cost us the game

 
 

HTF Salem walked straight into the senior side without finding form at Casey has me stumped. He is timid and has zero hurt factor

At this point in time, I will be happy if we make finals. 

 

It’s one thing losing a game when you have a rubbish list. It’s another to keep losing games with a list capable of so so much more. 


I haven't been this angry after a loss for quite some time. Today was a [censored] joke, we never ever looked like getting to goal. There are players out there who look like downright garbage right now. 

The honeymoon period of the 2021 flag is finally coming to an end. No-one outside of us cares about that anymore. Are we actually a top 4 side? Really?

Now that we've just lost to freo on our home deck maybe some of the apologists here might stop making excuses for how poorly we are travelling? Are we still learning?? Maybe it's ok to follow a team who is not as terrible as we were for so many years? It's ok as long as we can beat up on 16th-18th team.

We’re wasting our generational talent. Maybe I'm wrong. I'm certainly angry. That was [censored]. 

Ah well we will always have 2021. 

First thing I did after the siren was to go to the Casey thread.  Sadly, no joy there either!  

l completely agree. Jackson stood up and was close to BOG. I don’t know where our problem is but the list isn’t that different from the great year. we’re been worked out and i’m not sure we have a plan B against anyone but North and Hawthorn who can beat on pure talent alone

Embarrassing. To let an average football team show you up on your home deck twice in 2 years is an absolute disgrace. 


Grateful for Goody coaching us to the 2021 flag, but he’s got to go.

We’ve become way too easy to coach against, and have no plan B. Gotta clean out the assistants too.

We are just a good team that can turn it on once in a while that's all.

5th or 6th best team in it, fallen to bottom of the 8.

Time to stop persisting with another tall. Fritta, JVR and Gawn/Grundy. That’s it. If he wants to play Tmac or BBB then one of those mentioned has to get dropped. 
 

We are carrying too many average players who do too little for far too long.

If Harmes plays ffs use him in the best way, he is a tagger, and a good one. If not, play Jordon or some one else.

Start searching for a replacement for Stafford so as soon as the seasons done we can sack him and get some one decent in. Yze needs to lift his game too. 

we prob won’t make top 4 now, or just scrape in, we have about a 5% chance at the flag. We are bog ordinary. Glad I have to work KB cos the filth will slaughter us.


Love the new culture the MFC have built. Another ordinary interstate team doing us on the G.

People wonder why our crowds are either small or just not into it...ourr players are a bit soft and don't offer much to inspire. 

What a squibby football club peeing away the best opportunity we will have in a lifetime to change into a ruthlessly competitive club.

Shame that we can't trust our team anymore. We don't look that far off but we also never look likely either.

Think we desperately need another 3rd tall to help lever with his intercept game. While I get the importance of the turnover game, we seem to have neglected clearance work which is hugely important if we need quick goals. For whatever reason, (part luck, part positioning) we seem to have poor ability to win the ground balls at contests with front and centre work. 

I think we can fix it, but time is running out.

Also I'm not sure an average mid with an average skill set is the best option for sub.

 

So last week the rainbow chasers thought we were good because we only lost by 4 to a good side. What have you got to say this week?

Surely Goodwin has to play Brown next week. The forward line is pathetic.

How did he go at Casey? 1 goal only.

Maybe happier if we don’t.  September holiday. 

After today I have a new respect for a large number of our supporters who know more than us on Demonland. They didn't turn up because they knew what was coming. The fade to  mediocrity is under way.

  • PREVIEW: Fremantle

    A month is a long time in AFL football. The proof of this is in the current state of the two teams contesting against each other early this Saturday afternoon at the MCG. It’s hard to fathom that when Melbourne and Fremantle kicked off the 2025 season, the former looked like being a major player in this year’s competition after it came close to beating one of the favourites in the GWS Giants while the latter was smashed by Geelong to the tune of 78 points and looked like rubbish. Fast forward to today and the Demons are low on confidence and appear panic stricken as their winless streak heads towards an even half dozen and pressure mounts on the coach and team leadership.  Meanwhile, the Dockers have recovered their composure and now sit in the top eight. They are definitely on the up and up and look most likely winners this weekend against a team which they have recently dominated and which struggles to find enough passages to the goals to trouble the scorers. And with that, Fremantle will head to the MCG, feeling very good about itself after demolishing Richmond in the Barossa Valley with Josh Treacy coming off a six goal haul and facing up to a Melbourne defence already without Jake Lever and a shaky Steven May needing to pass a fitness test just to make it onto the field of play.

  • NON-MFC: Round 06

    The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • REPORT: Essendon

    What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.
