Absolute joke this club.

We can barely win an easy forward entry and Collingwood transition from back half with relative ease for an easy goal.

 

 

Stuff this. Seriously. 

Nothing has changed, good effort but we are about to witness the nth time we have a scoreless quarter.

 

This is vintage Dees F50 efficiency, feeling nostalgic 🥳

Wow. How deflating is that?

An absolute shambolic mess up forward, outdone on a 2-1 and coughed up (another) goal on turnover. 

What to say?

Do we have any respect for ourselves. Stand up to the thug. Don’t let him dictate play 

At least take him out.

Maynard needs to be laid out.

Oliver’s disposal by foot is bloody ordinary.

It's always ordinary.


[censored] hell Oliver..

dead set liability out there.

Who cares about Maynard how about converting inside 50 to goals. Every week is the same appalling forward craft and coaching. So easily sucker punched.

I'll kill myself if we concede another by quarter time without getting one ourselves 

RIP 

11 of their best 22 out. 

A team full of ordinary kicks.

Cant stick a a tackle.

Cant kick a goal.

So much talent yet this is what they serve up. 
 

We are currently a joke.

No excuses.


Oliver must be dropped I believe, he's got no form footy or physical.

Since our last horrendous defeat, I needed a break from footy and Demonland. Watching now, with my guts turning with every forward thrust, our lack of composure and brains forward of centre is doing my head in. Not sure I can watch for too long today. 

We are having a good crack and in every contest, but if a ball spills it is three to one as the Pies spread. For the Pies to get a goal from that last forward attempt by the Dees is a window into our thinking and confidence. Sad to watch it all so far.

Does anyone else kind of get the feeling the universe is working against us right now? 2 posters and a score review we would never get in our favour. 

We haven’t disgraced ourselves but a few costly mistakes and misses mean we’re chasing. 

A few?

Two out on the full as well. Fritsch kicking into a Howe smother with two loose forward. 

And then the killer rebound just before the siren

So hard to watch.

Great Trac down injured. Looks like his ribs

2024 can get in the bin

That goal review will get @Clintosaurus up and running!!

Reverse the teams and they don't even look.


If only we had a forward line. Bombing into packs like this when there's no-one there who can take the marks.

Kozzie could've snapped Hill in half earlier, didn't. Could've snapped the dog in half then, didn't

He gets suspended every time he goes within 6 feet of someone and then we all lay into him about not letting the team down!

Collingwood fans are way too loud.

We can barely raise a wimper.

Because there's nothing to cheer about

Goodwin keeps playing his darlings, why is Petty still at full forward? Anyone understands?

  • FEATURE: 1925

    A hundred years ago today, on 2 May 1925, Melbourne kicked off the new season with a 47 point victory over St Kilda to take top place on the VFL ladder after the opening round of the new season.  Top place was a relatively unknown position for the team then known as the “Fuchsias.” They had finished last in 1923 and rose by only one place in the following year although the final home and away round heralded a promise of things to come when they surprised the eventual premiers Essendon. That victory set the stage for more improvement and it came rapidly. In this series, I will tell the story of how the 1925 season unfolded for the Melbourne Football Club and how it made the VFL finals for the first time in a decade on the way to the ultimate triumph a year later.

  • PREVIEW: West Coast

    Saturday’s election night game in Perth between the West Coast Eagles and Melbourne represents 18th vs 15th which makes it a tough decision as to which party to favour. The Eagles have yet to break the ice under their new coach in Andrew McQualter who is the second understudy in a row to confront Demon Coach Simon Goodwin who was also winless until a fortnight ago. On that basis, many punters might be considering to go with the donkey vote but I’ve been assigned with the task of helping readers to come to a considered opinion on this matter of vital importance across the nation. It was almost a year ago that I wrote a preview here of the Demons’ away game against the Eagles (under the name William from Waalitj because it was Indigenous Round).  I issued a warning that it was a danger game, based on my local knowledge that the home team were no longer easybeats and that they possessed a wunderkind generational player in Harley Reid who was capable of producing stellar performances playing among men a decade and more older than he.  At the time, the Eagles already had two wins off the back of a couple of the young man’s masterclasses and they had recently given the Bombers a scare straight after their Anzac Day blockbuster draw against the then reigning premiers.

Friday sees the Saints desperate for a win as well if they are to stay in finals contention and their opponents the Dockers will be eager to crack in to the Top 8 with a win on the road.

Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • PREGAME: West Coast

    The Demons hit the road in Round 8, heading to Perth to face the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium. With momentum building, the Dees will be aiming for a third straight victory to keep their season revival on course. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • REPORT: Richmond

    The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

  • CASEY: Richmond

    The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.
