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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

    THE ACCIDENTAL DEMONS by The Oracle

    In the space of eight days, the Melbourne Football Club’s plans for the coming year were turned upside down by two season-ending injuries to players who were contending strongly for places in its opening round match against the GWS Giants. Shane McAdam was first player to go down with injury when he ruptured an Achilles tendon at Friday afternoon training, a week before the cut-off date for the AFL’s pre-season supplemental selection period (“SSP”). McAdam was beginning to get some real mom

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the

    GAMEDAY: Match SIM vs North Melbourne

    After an agonizingly long off-season the 2025 AFL Premiership Season is almost upon us and the Demons have their first practice hit out against the Kangaroos in a match simulation out at Arden Street. The Demons will take on the Kangaroos in match simulation play, starting from 10am AEDT and broadcast live on Foxtel and Kayo. The play start time was brought forward from the initial 11am bounce, due to the high temperatures forecast.  The match sim will consist of four 25-minute qu
