I think we can safely book a September holiday now

 

Bit of heat has to come on Tim Lamb, done nothing for this list since winning a premiership three years ago. Amazing that midfield and ruck depth weren’t addressed in the off season

Hunter, McAdam, Petty - you can all [censored] off

And Disco, and Chandler AND GOODWIN

 

I feel really sorry for our fans who actually paid good money to witness this debacle first hand.

At least we can be comforted knowing that we're currently loading.

Anyone in here who genuinely thinks we are a flag chance has rocks in their head. Been clear for quite some time. 

Yeh.. there’s been excuses and reasons but it’s pretty clear we’re not good enough. Even good teams lose a game or two they shouldn’t, when you lose this many you just aren’t good 


Not sticking with Grundy and not giving it more time was perhaps the most short-sighted coaching decision I have ever seen this club make.

We gifted him to Sydney who is now dominating and has an AA ruck for the next 4-5 seasons.

Meanwhile we are plodding along with Petty as a backup ruckman, and we get absolutely spanked whenever a team has more than one big body.

Anyone that didn't see the writing on the wall after the West Coast game is delusional.

I’m booking a family overseas trip in September. So disappointed with my club!

 

They are almost DOUBLE us in contested possessions

Double

pathetic gutless soft performance 


Melbourne are pretenders, this is seriously pathetic. May struggle to make finals from here, 2021 was fun but this club just doesn't have the intestinal fortitude to dominate in this league

T Mc and Tomlinson keep running to the same spots the big dumb oafs. Seriously, it cant be that hard to go man on man 

Goodwin the tactical genius would rather loose the game than make adjustments on the fly

Why won’t Melbourne make the perceived hard call and not play players who aren’t in form. Petty is currently useless. Hunter should not have come in the team when he did. Disco is not a forward. 
 

Petty is a complete liability at the moment and should be back at Casey. Is the reason he is playing is so that we can keep his price tag high? It isn’t working.

There’s literally no one who would do a better job. We have no forwards in the cupboard.

It’s a training run for Freo atm.

Seriously, when will Goodwin be held accountable? He’s got to go, along with several of our players.

We need to start again with a full on re-build.

Don’t worry we will even it up in junk time to look good for all the stats nerds 

Disgraceful umpiring

What are our odds to miss the 8? Seems safe money 

To win football games you need skill and to care, we have no skill and the players 

All it them.  Do Not Care


In the podcast, I do not want to hear about how other teams lose in upsets followed by the one time it happened to Collingwood last year.

  • POSTGAME: Richmond

    After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.

  • GAMEDAY: Richmond

    It's Game Day and the Demons return to the MCG to face the Tigers in their annual Blockbuster on ANZAC Eve for the 10th time. The Dees will be desperate to reignite their stuttering 2025 campaign and claim just their second win of the season. Can the Demons dig deep and find that ANZAC Spirit to snatch back to back wins?

  • PREVIEW: Richmond

    A few years ago, the Melbourne Football Club produced a documentary about the decade in which it rose from its dystopic purgatory of regular thrashings to the euphoria of a premiership victory. That entire period could have been compressed in a fast motion version of the 2025 season to date as the Demons went from embarrassing basket case to glorious winner in an unexpected victory over the Dockers last Saturday. They transformed in a single week from a team that put in a pedestrian effort of predictably kicking the ball long down the line into attack that made a very ordinary Bombers outfit look like worldbeaters into a slick, fast moving side with urgency and a willingness to handball and create play with shorter kicks and by changing angles to generate an element of chaos that yielded six goals in each of the opening quarters against Freo.
