Unfortunately May is getting taught a lesson by Daniher. 

He really got going that quarter.

Their half backs are just clearing it way too easily. 

Doesn't help when Spargo, Anb, Melksham and Pickett offer zero defensive pressure. 

Could have had 4 that quarter Daniher. Got off the chain

    Glad to see the negative trolls are back after losing that quarter.

    Sorry but what was positive about that slop? It was insipid.

    You’d think we are playing a division 3 team, not a premiership contender. 

    Fair point. But we played pretty poorly for thirty mins 

    Let's hope we reset like the first thirty.

    If we can reset after half time like the Lions did after qtr time where still well in this. Need our midfielders to lift.

    Backs have no hope the way the ball is sling shotting back from our half forward line straight through the corridor. Our ball entry into our 50 is slow, predictable and inaccurate and just comes straight out again. We refuse to use the full width of the ground just kicking back into traffic inviting a turnover.

    It was a very good team playing better than us. They are a really really good team and we don’t have our best player or our best forward.

    Are you at the game this week Steve, or still in Europe complaining that Melbourne supporters don't turn up to games, and in the same breath lauding how important Collingwood's crowd is to their arousal levels?

    Can't help being overseas for work, would be there every week at the G if I was home. Having a great time over here though thanks. 

    Nice way of dodging the question! 

    Look forward to your response. 

     


    Few of our quieter guys need to get involved, or involved again. Melk quiet, Kozzie dunno, still looks out of it aside for a nice goal and a good run or two. Could have had another I reckon. Maybe we’ll see more of him in the second half. We’ll need it. Can we please man up when the ball leaves our forward 50???

    Those don’t account for being so weak at the contest

    The defense fell apart with Petty off. I hope they injected him really well. We need him!

    Best thing Fagan ever did was get rid of Rich. All of a sudden Lions aren’t exposed in the back half for lack of leg speed.

    Melksham is dangerous tonight. 
     

    Kick a goal ffs Jakey!

    We are winning the contested possessions and clearances 

    They are spreading and hitting targets much better 

    Need to lock the ball in our forward 50, their getting it out to easy and that's here the run is coming from. Bot we really need to hit passes the number that drop short or go over the leading players head is killing us.

    Smart coaching from Fagan, drag May away from goals.

    One thing I know we are the experts at giving up a late quarter goal.

    Playing ok, just got to man up when they switch sides, their run is killing us.

    We all wanted Spargs to find his '21 form again, turning players inside out etc. but we just have not seen it for far too long now. Has trained his [censored] off, just mikes off it now.

    Opened up like a can of worms.

    Wings are vulnerable.

    Our bottom six are getting exposed for skill deficiencies. 

    Can't defend the corridor.

    Howes in for Hunter??

    It will be a good day when we can develop a smallish forward who can run hard all game like Nibbler, tackle like Nibbler, but make good decisions, kick well and not fumble below the knees constantly. So frustrating

    • PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Way back in March we contemplated the possibility of a Demon resurgence after Simon Goodwin’s summer of love. Many issues at the club had seemingly been addressed, key players were returning from injury and a brand new day was about to dawn. We imagined the coach pulling a rabbit out of a hat. The team would roar up the charts, push aside every opponent and make its way to a Grand Final ending in ultimate triumph with Goody and Max holding the premiership cup aloft under a shower of red and blue ticker tape.

    • AFLW REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

      The final game of the 2025 Season is finally upon us and the Demons may have an opportunity to spoil the Magpies Top 4 aspirations when they face them on Friday Night. Who comes in and who goes out?
