I think I can find better things to do today than watch this garbage.

Good luck everyone.

Thank goodness I have to leave for work 

When you've got arguably the best ruckman in the history of the game and multiple generally considered elite midfielders and you sit 11th for clearances, it's either by design or something is seriously wrong. 

 

 

The last thing we needed to happen just happened. Watch Freo turn it into a bog hole now

Goody likes to be best mates with all the players and it's generally a good thing, but far out these players need a good old fashioned spray. they're far too good to be making stupid mistakes so consistently 

I'd drop five of them. But we don't have anyone to really replace them with. The fact McAdam keeps getting games is proof of this.

Surely woewodin offers more than McAdam or hunter or maybe even chandler 

Yep, plus get JEFFO IN

Has the wind just died down now we are changing ends at qtr time

Oliver needs to sit the rest of the season out and work what the f...is wrong with himself

 

 

We have poor skills and no leg speed. When our defensive pressure is off, we are a bottom 4 side

Midfield getting absolutely smashed around the ground as usual.

But no, according to the clueless Binman it's not the midfield issue 😅

Nah, this was a loading week, just overdid the training to make sure we’re good for the September we probably won’t be playing in.

Best opening quarter by Freo all year. Tell me this is not the most Melbourne thing to give up. Just embarrassing. 

This has been a Goodwin trait ever year bar 2021. Teams always seem to have "their best quarter for the season" against us.

Cripps level time

Daicos time

Everyone else gets pinged 

Our core players are no longer consistently impacting games. They float in and out of games and even get beaten by their direct opponents now. The best teams have stars who always dominate. Our stars are fading sadly.

Q1

Poor first qtr. poor turnovers  Slow  slow slow

Turnovers.  It’s lazy play. Rivers. Bowey. Sparrow.  Invited Freo in . Waiting for our mistakes  - mistakes mistakes  more mistakes 

Langdon  not ever chasing  

McAdam could not kick 30 metre !!! 

Sparrow fumbles. Fumbles. 
ANB fumbles. Fumbles. 
Oliver pick it up  

Oliver in middle  free free  turns kicks it 20 metres sideways and not attack  !! Lazy - why not attack !!! 

Pickett. Forget the left foot when you are free.  Grubber to nothing !!  

WHATS NEEDED … SIMPLE SO [censored] SIMPLE 

MOVE THE BALL QUICKLY 

ATTACK NOT SUDEWAYS 

NOT 7 HANDBALLS TO TURNOVER - so 2011!!!

coaching tips from Desanto

play the percentages 

Take territory into forward 50

kick to field position - not wide 

Quick decision making 

👏👏👏👏

According to Binman, 99 problems but the midfield ain’t one 🤣

Getting absolutely smashed in the middle. We will lose every game this year to teams who have a decent midfield.

McAdam couldn’t make the distance the last 2 weeks but that was put down to learning the Melbourne system.

This! Bump

He's delusional. 

About as good as his excuse of loading the past few year to no advantage.

Everyone else can see its a midfield issue except him.

Why is the worst handball team in the league insisting on over using handball?

Yes yes yes. Handball into trouble. So 2011!!! Overhandballing again. Goodwin is fuc-Jed as a coach. 

Way too many purple Guernsey around the stands for a Dees home game. 😬

  • NON-MFC: Round 05

    Gather Round is here, kicking off with a Thursday night blockbuster as Adelaide faces Geelong. The Crows will be out for redemption after a controversial loss last week. Saturday starts with the Magpies taking on the Swans. Collingwood will be eager to cement their spot in the top eight, while Sydney is hot on their heels. In the Barossa Valley, two rising sides go head-to-head in a fascinating battle to prove they're the real deal. Later, Carlton and West Coast face off at Adelaide Oval, both desperate to notch their first win of the season. The action then shifts to Norwood, where the undefeated Lions will aim to keep their streak alive against the Bulldogs. Sunday’s games begin in the Barossa with Richmond up against Fremantle. In Norwood, the Saints will be looking to take a scalp when they come up against the Giants. The round concludes with a fiery rematch of last year's semi-final, as the Hawks seek revenge for their narrow loss to Port Adelaide. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

  • CASEY: Geelong

    There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

  • 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?
