Richmond only score from our mistakes 

It's not raining. I don't understand why we are making  these basic skills errors and fumbles.

    How many of those horrible short passes have we stuffed up? Really poor.

    Why are we continuing to try and hit short targets coming through the middle?

    Go long and strong to the 50 and put then under pressure one v one.

    We don't have enough players skilled  enough by foot to keep doing this and there's no reason to anyway.  It's not like they have a run on and we need to arrest momentum etc.

    Crazy stuff.

    The transistion is way too slow.

    Run and gun Demons and give the forwards a chance!

    Yep. Aside from a bit of wind conditions are good.

    Yet we look like we're kicking a flat footy 

    We are making a very ordinary team look like a top 4 contender 


    This is so disappointing. We will get smoked by the cats and blues if we play anything like this. 

    We’re battling against a very poor Richmond side. 🤮

    Our kicking will forever ruin our lives. It’s this teams fatal flaw

    Worst skills I’ve seen in 5 years

    Did you forget Brisbane a fortnight ago?


    Kozzy's kicking is right off.

    Missed so many chances to put it out in front and allow players to run on to it!

    Undisciplined team, it's the coaches

    Defence, marking, game plan all great. Kicking composure running at about 15%.

     

    Based on our efforts against Sydney and Brisbane, and now this - it’s very difficult to expect us to trouble anyone come finals.

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front. They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
