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

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

    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.

    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.

    • 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.
