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.

  • NON-MFC: Round 05

    Gather Round is here, kicking off with a Thursday night blockbuster as Adelaide faces Geelong. The Crows will be out for redemption after a controversial loss last week. Saturday starts with the Magpies taking on the Swans. Collingwood will be eager to cement their spot in the top eight, while Sydney is hot on their heels. In the Barossa Valley, two rising sides go head-to-head in a fascinating battle to prove they're the real deal. Later, Carlton and West Coast face off at Adelaide Oval, both desperate to notch their first win of the season. The action then shifts to Norwood, where the undefeated Lions will aim to keep their streak alive against the Bulldogs. Sunday’s games begin in the Barossa with Richmond up against Fremantle. In Norwood, the Saints will be looking to take a scalp when they come up against the Giants. The round concludes with a fiery rematch of last year's semi-final, as the Hawks seek revenge for their narrow loss to Port Adelaide. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

  • CASEY: Geelong

    There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

  • 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?
