The quicker this one goes in the bin the better, just forget about it. Freshen up time.

T Mac deserves votes.

    4-2 is OK. Not sure why we are umpired like Richmond though.

    I know Oliver isn't at full fitness but at least give him some centre bounce attendance. Absolutely wasted at half-back.

    22 points is flattering. We were nowhere near it tonight.

    Haven't seen them that cooked in a long time, Adelaide trip killed us. Only 22 points in the end as well softens the blow a little. 4-2 with a long break to come. Ain't all too bad.

    Where was the effort from the 4th in the first 3 quarters?

    As for Petty, 2 touches from an entire game………a limbless person could do better. He can go, thinks he’s a king and yet is lazy with a poor attitude.

    Gawn and Tmac can hold their heads high tonight. Midfield was woeful.

    What a soft lazy effort this was, outnumbered at the contest all night, second to the ball all night, worst performance for years. Premiership contenders don't put on performances like this.

    Smashed by a hungry team.

    Nothing went right for us.

    Salem with a hammy in the first few minutes. Yikes.

    Sorry boys, not a performance to be proud of. Smashed everywhere. Score is flattering. Should have been 50pts.

    I had us at 3-3 at this point, so I’ll take 4-2. We need to rest up and regroup over the bye to make sure we treat this as the exception in our season.

    That was abhorrent.

    As disinterested as you could look from the start.

    Smashed at the contest and lazy spreading away. 

    I believe we sit around 6-9th. 

    Don't play injured players out of position.

    Worst we’ve played in four years. Did they all have Covid? Made Brisbane look like the Harlem Globetrotters.

    3 tough weeks, everyone clearly spent from the get go. I'll take 2/3.

    Salem out hurt us early and nobody but Max able to get to the level. 

    Posters throwing toys out of the cot need to reflect on all the other times they've overreacted. Shouldn't have to go back too far to find examples.

    Move on, take the flattering scoreboard into the bye and hit our winter at the G from a solid 4-2 position.

    Go Dees.

    For 3 quarters that was the worse we've played in a very very long time.

    The backmen can hold their heads up high, so can Ed Langdon and Trent Rivers(if you don't include him as part of the backline). Rest of em utterly terrible.

    Also, how we added Grundy(lol), Hunter, Schache, Billings and McAdam to a premiership list is a big reason why we haven't won another flag. Utter [censored].

    I honestly don't even think we were that bad. We were slow and battered and Brisbane absolutely came out firing. If our worst equates to a 22 point loss against a full strength Brisbane then I'll take that. Richmond and Collingwood both had far worse outings in their Premiership winning years.

    Just now, whatwhat say what said:

    I know it was only 22 but that feels like the worst loss in five years
     

    3 games in 12 days was a bridge too far

    It’s a long season

    It was

    • PREVIEW: North Melbourne

      Can you believe it? After a long period of years over which Melbourne has dominated in matches against North Melbourne, the Demons are looking down the barrel at two defeats at the hands of the Kangaroos in the same season. And if that eventuates, it will come hot on the heels of an identical result against the Gold Coast Suns. How have the might fallen? There is a slight difference in that North Melbourne are not yet in the same place as Gold Coast. Like Melbourne, they are currently situated in the lower half of the ladder and though they did achieve a significant upset when the teams met earlier in the season, their subsequent form has been equally unimpressive and inconsistent.

    • REPORT: Adelaide

      The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.

    • CASEY: Coburg

      The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

    • PREGAME: Rd 18 vs North Melbourne

      After four weeks on the road the Demons make their long awaited return to the MCG next Sunday to play in a classic late season dead rubber against the North Melbourne Kangaroos. Who comes in and who comes out?

      The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
