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.

    Honestly we are just painful to watch 

    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: Hawthorn

      Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front. They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

      The Demons return to the MCG to take on the High Flying Hawks on Saturday Afternoon. Hawthorn will be aiming to consolidate a position in the Top 4 whilst the Dees will be looking to take a scalp and make it four wins in a row. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
