I 100% disagree, a little out of it that quarter, but his attack on the ball is light years ahead of TMac

Happy with his efforts. I know others want Brown but I can see what the coaches are seeing.

Highlight is McVee. Quick, clean, sure handed. Kid is a star.

At the very least it seems like we can have confidence in our future on the D50.

McVee, Bowey, Petty very good line-up to take over May, Lever when they retire. And Disco Turner growing season after season.

Hopefully now we can focus on KPF and some more polish and class with the foot in our midfield.


Goody will have a good talking to them and they will get it together in the second half.

Are we winning? Wouldn’t know it with 90% of posts

We are ahead on the scoreboard as it stands yes. 
But our game plan and skills are those of an Aussie rules team playing in Canada.

It’s less about the score and more about the quality on display. It’s really ugly to watch. We are a lot better than this. I hope.

We're taking lots of our set shots from very wide in the pocket.

Ala 2022 🤢🤢


+9 clearance against a great contested team, a bit more polish and spread and we will get a run going

My 3 point half time PowerPoint slide headings:
1. Carlton are rubbish
2. Dees lack class & polish
3. Rubbish game of footy with almost no highlights.

I am so very bored watching this.

1st half

Ditto. Terrible suburban league 4 type footy. Turnovers and missed targets by both teams. Rubbish footy. 

🤮Spargo free kick and goal (ridiculous umpiring even beyond a Ginnivan level) 

✅Kozzzy goal but needs to do more 

✅ clearances 23-14 stoppages 19-10 

✅JVR goal 

🥔turnovers 37-38 

🥔umps - free kicks 5-11

 

 

Remember at half time when you could sit and chat to the person next to you who you are with or enjoy watching the kids play little league. Now we get rubbish techno music and dance cam. Honestly shut the music up

Those calling for Brown to play need to watch him at Casey. He’s more cooked than a GF snag. Done, finished, retire now.

I don't like when people just focus on the scoreboard or the ladder.

As you have said Jaded, we look terrible against a subpar team in Carlton.

Same. As it is we struggle to keep the ball inside our attacking 50. Smith is a lot more athletic and able to give us better coverage at ground level. 
Tmac and BB missing is not why we are playing this poorly. 

I’m really hoping we can win the next quarter and then have the game won heading into the last where we can hopefully play a few players into form.

Gary Lyon is [censored] me to death. Cannot make a positive comment

He will fit right in here then.

And that is different to any other time?

But, but, dancing and looking like a moron!

 

Awful disposal from both teams. Luckily Carlton have been even worse than us. I wouldn't want to watch the slaughter if we produce this standard against Collingwood.

  • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

    The media has performed a complete reversal in its coverage of the Melbourne Football Club over the past month and a half. Having endured intense criticism from all quarters in the press, which continually identified new avenues for scrutiny of every aspect, both on and off the field, and prematurely speculated about the departures of coaches, players, officials, and various employees from a club that lost its first five matches and appeared out of finals contention, the narrative has suddenly shifted to one of unbridled optimism.  The Demons have won five of their last six matches, positioning themselves just one game (and a considerable amount of percentage) outside the top eight at the halfway mark of the season. They still trail the primary contenders and remain far from assured of a finals berth.

  • REPORT: Sydney

    A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.

  • POSTGAME: Sydney

    The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.

  • CASEY: Northern Bullants

    The Casey Demons travelled to a windy Cramer Street, Preston yesterday and blew the Northern Bullants off the ground for three quarters before shutting up shop in the final term, coasting to a much-needed 71-point victory after leading by almost 15 goals at one stage. It was a pleasing performance that revived the Demons’ prospects for the 2025 season but, at the same time, very little can be taken from the game because of the weak opposition. These days, the Bullants are little more than road kill. The once proud club, situated behind the Preston Market in a now culturally diverse area, is currently facing significant financial and on-field challenges, having failed to secure a win to date in 2025.
