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.

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?

  • PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

    With both sides precariously positioned ahead of the run home to the finals, only one team involved in Sunday’s clash at the Adelaide Oval between the Power and the Demons will remain a contender when it’s over.  On current form, that one team has to be Melbourne which narrowly missed out on defeating the competition’s power house Collingwood on King's Birthday and also recently overpowered both 2024 Grand Finalists. Conversely, Port Adelaide snapped out of a four-game losing streak with a win against the Giants in Canberra. Although they will be rejuvenated following that victory, their performances during that run of losses were sub par and resulted in some embarrassing blow out defeats.

  • NON-MFC: Round 14

    Round 14 is upon us and there's plenty at stake across the rest of the competition. As Melbourne heads to Adelaide, it's time to turn our attention to the other matches of the Round. Which teams are you tipping this week? And which results would be most favourable for the Demons’ finals tilt?

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.
