    When you're coming off the ground at halftime and Gus says our game is looking good offensively and we've kicked 2 goals 9, i reckon theres an issue with accepting mediocrity. 

    Not sure we will be able to make finals from here. How mark stafford still has a job is beyond me. 

    England cricket team levels of self delusion at the moment. 
    There’s something to be said for doing everything right and not getting the result, but eventually you have to get the result. We’re going backwards fast..

    SO BLOODY WHAT!!

    Hard to fathom it was less than only two years ago.

    Who is this mob?

    Can we please not play here again at least?

    Why forfeit a home game and add travel fatigue?

    Goody is in dangerous territory of doing what Beverage has done to the dogs, keeps his job after a flag but then screws up a good list in a premiership window because he can't adapt a gamestyle or system that can actually win games of football. 

    Said in post game last week that it is all talk with goody and that no tangible change will ever happen and he's proving me right, we can all see what is happening in front of us including him and yet it actually looks like we're getting worse. He'll talk about how that was the game we expected and GWS were good and that there are learnings to take from it, same thing over and over and we'll continue to lose the exact same way and continue to be inefficient entering the forward 50 and trying to convert, All talk zero walk. 

    Looked exactly like a dees game as he will say, more inside 50s more shots at goal and still loosing.

    The sky hasn't quite fallen in but right now we are a bit of an 'almost' team. It's got a touch of last year about it re lost momentum and things just not falling into place.

    Love what ANB brings to the table but I do agree that he probably needs a wake up call and a spell. Woey or Bailey Laurie should be given a chance at some point.

    Unfair on Langdon.

    Rest spot on.

    Not so sure, Langdon is fairly ineffectual most of the time. At least compared to prior years.  Running 10kms doesn't mean much on it's own.

    Just wading blindfolded through the bile to let @Jaded No More in particular know that it’s Fritta’s foot AND ankle that are the issues. And it’s looking very bleak at this stage.

    WCW out (until our next win) 🙄

    Can someone enlighten me as to why Kozzie doesn’t get more midfield minutes? First game of the season rotate plenty through the centre. He was the main reason we rolled the dogs. Gets rubbed out, signs an extension and we play him exclusively forward and he is constantly a non factor……?

    If we are serious as a football team that wants more premierships, his position should be under scrutiny form here onto the end of the season. No top 4? Miss the 8? Maybe we should start looking for other options.

    Langdon reminds me of a certain side that said we played bruise free football, that's him.

    Smith did alright with how we bring the ball in.

    Harmes just shake head has no natural football brain.

    ANB I think his main job is to get tackled to cause a ball up, time to go.

    How we going fellas?! Which one is it?! 

    What's the excuse @A F?! Your responses are looking awfully silly!

    How many years grace will our soft club give this guy?

    At least 2 yrs of missing finals, maybe 3 before the club wakes up. By then it's rebuild time.

    Because he is not a midfielder and never will be...

    Why would you put someone so hell-bent on making the highlights package instead of playing the actual game into the midfield?

    Going the sports entertainment angle, HQ will be very pleased 4th spot is very much up for grabs.

    +70 disposals, +15 frees, +42 CPs, +19 clearances, +8 shots on goal, +27 inside 50s(!), but we lose. 

    It’s not loading, it’s not personnel (albeit we’re missing two of our 5 best players), it’s some combination of coaching and skill. 

    If we felt OK dropping Tomlinson after KB we should have dropped Smith after last week, instead of the better forward in JVR. We can’t make that mistake again. Brown’s a lumbering giant yet in the wet he had more touches than Smith and Melksham combined. 

    This is the FD’s last chance to make changes to the 23, the way we try to score, and the way we play, because we cannot keep doing this.

    You have to laugh re the Presidents comment post Grand Final that we are setting up to have a dynasty with this team.

    Yeh, right. We've been on the slide ever since.

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      Saturday’s election night game in Perth between the West Coast Eagles and Melbourne represents 18th vs 15th which makes it a tough decision as to which party to favour. The Eagles have yet to break the ice under their new coach in Andrew McQualter who is the second understudy in a row to confront Demon Coach Simon Goodwin who was also winless until a fortnight ago. On that basis, many punters might be considering to go with the donkey vote but I’ve been assigned with the task of helping readers to come to a considered opinion on this matter of vital importance across the nation. It was almost a year ago that I wrote a preview here of the Demons’ away game against the Eagles (under the name William from Waalitj because it was Indigenous Round).  I issued a warning that it was a danger game, based on my local knowledge that the home team were no longer easybeats and that they possessed a wunderkind generational player in Harley Reid who was capable of producing stellar performances playing among men a decade and more older than he.  At the time, the Eagles already had two wins off the back of a couple of the young man’s masterclasses and they had recently given the Bombers a scare straight after their Anzac Day blockbuster draw against the then reigning premiers.

    • NON-MFC: Round 08

      Round 08 of the 2025 AFL Season kicks off on Thursday with a must-win game for the Bombers to stay in touch with the top eight, while the struggling Roos seek a morale-boosting upset. Friday sees the Saints desperate for a win as well if they are to stay in finals contention and their opponents the Dockers will be eager to crack in to the Top 8 with a win on the road. Saturday kicks off with a pivotal clash for both sides asthe Bulldogs look to solidify their top-eight spot, while Port seeks to shake their pretender tag. Then the Crows will be looking to steady their topsy turvy season against a resurgent Blues looking to make it 4 wins on the trot. On Election Night a Blockbuster will see the ladder-leading Pies take on the Cats, who are keen to bounce back after a narrow loss. On Sunday the Sydney Derby promises fireworks as the Giants aim to cement their top-eight status, while the Swans fight to keep their season alive. The Hawks, celebrating their centenary, will be looking to easily account for the Tigers who are desperate to halt their slide. The Round concludes on Sunday Night with a top end of the table QClash with significant ladder implications; both Queensland teams are in scintillating form. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • PREGAME: West Coast

      The Demons hit the road in Round 8, heading to Perth to face the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium. With momentum building, the Dees will be aiming for a third straight victory to keep their season revival on course. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.
