I’m at work so couldnt watch, but looking at the scores I’m guessing terrible is the word of the day. 

Edited by deva5610


And people were bemoaning Port's win making top 2 a tough ask. We are so far off that level.

5.15

21.48 over the last 3 games.

Pathetic.


The Italian National Team would be proud of that effort by GWS - a big ol' park the bus and get them on the rebound. I know it doesn't help us, but I HATE when teams do that. We lost that game, GWS didn't win it. Kick just a few of those opportunities we had and the game would have been over at 3/4 time given the rain.

Fingers crossed we can kick a winning score.

And ANB is a Brownlow medalist.

Got what we deserved. So predictable in play and outcome. 

Agree.

Play skilless players and get what you deserve.

Great coaching too, ever heard of a goal keeper in the wet, Kingsley has.


If anyone is ok with what this football club is putting out - hands up

 

The pre game hasn’t aged terribly well

why is kicking goals so hard

jesus wept

gws at 4.75 outrageous value

And what did we do to overcome that tactic? Our game day coaching belongs on the G….at half time for the aus kickers 

 

I know the conditions were slippery, but if that had been a match  between two struggling teams in the VFL, you would still have described Melbourne's forward line as pathetic. Brown past it, Smith below par, Melksham now just a journeyman, Langers and Hunter ineffective, Pickett charging about aimlessly, Harms a liability, Gawn-Grundy mix not working, and to cap off all the woeful goalkicking Viney missed a straight-forward set shot which would probably have sealed a win. Most of his teammates could have learned a lesson from nuggety little Bowey on how to play wet-weather football.

Goodwin's attacking plan A: bomb it in long to a heavily congested pack.

Goodwin's attacking plan B: bomb it in long to a heavily congested pack.

Goodwin's attacking plan C: bomb it in long to a heavily congested pack.

If Fritsch is out for an extended period, we are seriously in danger of missing finals altogether.

Let us pray Oliver is fit for next week.

 

 

We have one of the most disfunctional fwd lines in the comp.

I thought they'd clean it up by now.

Its getting worse.  Forget the 4 now. Every side knows theyre a chance against us.  Finals are no guarantee now we' ve thrown 3 games.Need atleast 4 wins with that fwd line?

No more f###g Alice Springs home games. Scrap it if you dont want to lose members.

  • REPORT: 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.

  • 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.
