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

TBH, it wouldn’t have been a 15m kick or anything like

On another note, good to see Jackson trying again. Hadn’t seen that for a while. 

 

We have turned into the most selfish bunch of individuals around.
 

No connection between our lines, bugger all communication, linking of plays is non-existent, bomb it to a pack of forwards with no crumbers around because they’re all too high up the ground, and practically no blocking checking defensive work. Nobody is even taking the first option anymore, it’s dump kicks in and out of the 50 almost every time. 
 

Everybody is playing for theirselves, with very very few exclusions.  
 

Yes, we are getting some complete rubbish handed at us by the umpires - but stop ranting and sooking at them, Dees - focus on winning the next bloody contest!  If you kick a goal - stop running over to the boundary line and fist pumping at the supporters and just expecting our fellow Dees to run over and celebrate with you - high five each other and the bloke who got the ball to you in the first place! 

FMD what happened to our team football

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

Absolutely, tmac is done and jvr not ready too carry a forward line. We need forwards who lead up to the ball carrier not away from them


I feel stunned. To look at our team on paper we look so good. Somethings wrong and i think it has to be on the coaches heads. 

 

Disappointing effort we really need to fix our stoppages somehow…Goody so obsessed with the turnover game we don’t play any other way

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

watched most of the Casey game

Flashes from the usual suspects but no one starred.

The honeymoon period of the 2021 flag is finally coming to an end

It came to an abrupt end in the middle of 2022.

I’d suggest our ceiling is 5th/6th, a home MCG final, and a semi final exit.

Collingwood would’ve found a way to win the last two weeks if in our position.

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.

it was pretty lonely here. Agree

It's okay, we'll be fighting fit in September. 

Not sure if we'll be in the finals, though.

Why would he change anything now if he didn't last week?


Absolutely [censored] performance. Our window is looking closed. Thank god for 2021. This club is a long way off from ever competing for a flag again. 

Weak as water, players, coaching staff & supporters that don’t show up

Imagine letting that mob beat us again at the G

Disgraceful

Top top it off the Freo chant at the end of the game showed up our clap clap go Dees, hooray supporters 

 

Q 1 the forwards actually spread and it worked. But thereafter back to the old all up together.  
How difficult is it really for a professional team and coaching staff to try to get that right?

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.

What about the players taking some responsibility.

Scrap Narrm before it ruins our season .  Is there two more weeks of  this useless distraction leading up to Pies boilover?

And scrap that ridiculous thread about Freo and draft picks. Never liked it. Look how thats come back to bite us on the bum.

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?

They’ll say we lost because Oliver didn’t play, after they said we are not a one man team.

And when we do turn it over we butcher our golden chances for scoring.

  • 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?
