Unfortunately this headline writes itself. Going to be some unfortunate comparisons to the men's exits last two years.

    There's surely something to it? Possibly the club thinks it's better than it is, and that results will just come.

    At least the men were in with a chance in both finals this year.

    The women have virtually rolled over in both of our finals this past week. Very poor indeed. Something doesn’t smell right about the MFC at the minute.

    I was just thinking that.

    Fumbling, poor disposal, can’t kick, mark or handball.

    What has happened?

    Gee WCW will be disappointed at the ground. This is not good for the women and club in general. Maybe Goody should get out of the box.

    To reply to Alister Nicholson on 7 - I don't give a single [censored] about the public perception of the MFC. They are all nuffies I do not care for.

    BRING BACK MARK NEELD!

    Clearly catastrophising here.

    It’s so sad that such a talented team is struggling to take marks, hit targets, lay tackles, play footy.

    it seems easy. wait for melbourne player take the ball, tackle them with a teammate and wait for the melbourne player  to give it to an opposition player and then take the opportunity.

    Genuinely embarrassed with the effort the last two weeks.

    To be honest, the women's team hasn't looked the same since Goodwin said he could sniff an AFLW flag at the BNF.

    Wow. I wonder if any side has imploded so spectacularly in finals as we have this year. Men's or women's.

    Just a simple thing. Lauren Pearce played a great quarter, but she can’t kick straight. This is known. Why has there not been at least one option running past her to take the handball ? Not one, not once.

    Every single aspect of our game is poor at present, but our foot skills are simply atrocious. How can we have so many players who can't hit the side of a barn from 15 metres away?

    He’s so bad. I admire his confidence in becoming a commentator despite the most unpleasant voice this side of Kelly Underwood

    The commentators are the least of the problems.

     

    Certainly, but the audio assault on top of the visual assault doesn't make for a pleasant Sunday afternoon  :')

    I was writing a post to explain this, but I give up. I know what I would have said at half time if I was coach... But it is too late now. All we can hope for is that these women take some pride in their team and their personal performance in the final quarter. Our Golden period is clearly over. Mental issues more than physical issues. Its difficult to watch!

    • 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.

    • GAMEDAY: Sydney

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons have a golden opportunity to build on last week’s stirring win by toppling Sydney at the MCG. A victory today would keep them firmly in the hunt for a finals spot and help them stay in touch with the pack chasing a place in the Top 8. Can the Dees make it two in a row and bring down the Swans?
