Petracca so sloppy.

 

Ditto Harmes.


We are a rable, overusing the ball 20 m out of goal no one is capable/confident to kick the goal.😡😡

 

Thanks for 150 Harmsey…..but time to find another home.   As for Tracc -  needs a spray.

If we lose another game because of our amateur skill level inside 50 some serious questions need to asked about our training standards. 

Agree, but questions need to be asked about our coaches and strategy also. 


It’s hard to comprehend how many times we kick it directly to the opposition backs. Or it hits the ground in our forward line and they clear it out. 

In all honesty this is unwatchable

    Can’t wait to watch us try and over handball it all day. Might get some scotch instead of beer!

    Bedford doing what kozzie used to re pressure. I dunno what’s happened to this side. They’re tough at it i’ll give them that but playing with no sense of purpose and kicking with no confidence .

    People will defend this because of the conditions. Giants are doing exactly what literally every team that beats us does. It's such an easy strategy.

    Rubbish, had we kicked better than 9 year olds we’d be 7 goals in front. Unless of course the strategy you’re talking about is to hope the opposition kick a barrage of points from inside 30

    Edited by Roost it far

    Seen this film before…. I know the ending.  It’s the inability of coaches to find solution to problems.

    Hard to disagree.

    14 to 1 frees.

    More i50s.

    MORE SHOTS AT GOAL.

    More clearances.

    More disposals.

    SCORES ARE LEVEL.

    One thing about ANB that I have noticed, he has a habit of not competing but holding back and than tackling the player who has won the ball.

     

    How is our forward connection?

    This is the bigger issue. That last Toby Greene goal was a set play they have done for years, if we haven’t figured it out by now what the hell are we doing.

    • 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.
