    We look slower than them and they are supposed to be slow. We don’t have much feel, flow, confidence craft etc at the moment. They tightened up and we started second guessing ourselves. Only one quarter. Much to play out.

     

    Never known a side to squander a lead like this mob. Pathetic to give up 2 goals in the dying seconds of both quarters. Hunter has a post football career as a butcher.

    Opened up like a can of worms.

    Wings are vulnerable.

    Our bottom six are getting exposed for skill deficiencies. 

    Can't defend the corridor.

    Don't worry guys, our loading program will see us blow them out of the park in the second half. That will be the reason we win. 

    @binmanand @A F guarantee it. 

    But if it doesn't occur, you can't blame loading okay? 

    It'll be other reasons.

    Spargo deserves an absolute roast!

    Gave Brisbane all the momentum after that stupid turnover when he decided to kick across the field near CHF and caused the turnover.

    I'd dead set Sub him out for that.

    Marks win games.

    Lions 60

    Dees 38

    That ain't good. How many marks the lions have taken in or fwd line compared to us in theirs is poor footy.


    We stumbled pretty bad that qtr and to be fair the lions took their chances. We need to come out red hot and make sure we make the most of our opportunities because it’s looking like that kind of a night, where misses will cost the game.

    Also what is up with our kicks to half forward? I’ve seen at least 5 where they have been ‘directed’, with time, to the chest of a lions player. Total waste.

    Outside the first 10 mins, Lions dominating. 

    We are playing a different style and our poorer skills and decision making is laid bare. 
     

    Need to get the lead and lock the game down.

    Brisbane are a good team. We gave it a good shake.

    Petracca 7 goals in a game and a half.

    Frustrating game to watch, need to tighten up on the turnover. Would be nice to see JvR and Brown together in the forward rather than one or the other.

    Lever...one mark.

    They're looking to go through Lever's man whenever they can.

    The pressure has to come from up the field to curb them doing this to the favoured side of his opponent or so often

    And they’re taking really strong contested marks, too! In some cases probably no right to have held onto them, but they have!

    Kozzy is playing like a lost boy out there. Terribly, terribly out of touch.

    Yeah it was a beautiful set shot goal but besides that, In open play, he is totally lost!

    What about marking man on man when they have back 50 ball Goody … it’s not rocket science how they walk out and score all there goals.

    Marking grass is STUPIDITY!!!

    This!!


    Our good looks very good, our bad looks horrible. So many chances with ball in hand, only to kick it to a Lions defender. Great game of footy, but our mistakes could cost us... again. Our poor kicking into F50 has raised its head again

    We need to cover Coleman more quickly. 

    Viney is a weapon

    Outside the first 8-10 minute burst, Lions have dominated. Our small forwards have been seriously poor the past two months. Kozzie looks disinterested and not going at the ball. Spargo jogging round aimlessly. Neither crumbing. Neither defending. We’re getting nothing out of them at present and getting killed on rebound too.

    • REPORT: Geelong

      I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • POSTGAME: Geelong

      The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.
