PTSD baby

It seems a bit that way, considering Geelong were there to be run over. Holmes didn’t want it inside early, and now the games opened up he’s a factor. Petracca needs to just tell our midfield to get out of his way. Sometimes I think Viney is a liability for Petracca. 

 

So much good footy finished with sloppy lazy goal kicking. We are very much in and they are playing as well as they can. It's about composure under pressure and composure while exhausted now. We need someone to stand up and LEAD us to a win.

    Will that knee to Gawns head get looked at.  It bloody well should !!!

    How was that not a free kick???????


    I feel like I’ve seen this movie against the cats about 50 times before. Dominate large chucks of the game, kick a boat load of behinds, loose by a narrow margin when we should have won by 5-6 goals

    Are you allowed to knee someone in the head in the ruck? You’re not marking the ball

    It was a deliberate tactic. 100%.

    Inability to take our chances in high pressure games is a serious trend.

    Hey but you can't criticise the sacrosanct coaches. At some point, they are responsible for list recruiting and development. It's 3 years of the same thing, can't kick a score and fall short. How long more are we going to cope?

    2.7 to 4.2 in that qtr…

    5.4 and we’d be a handy couple of goals up. Instead we’re only a couple of points down but they are now converting, even if flukey sometimes and we can’t even slot them in from 30

    Like watching a car accident in slow motion.

    Cats get ball from backline spread it to outside every time with loose players time and time again someone in the box wake up.

    I thought it should have been a free because it stopped gawn competing in the ruck contest

    • 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.
