Our backline needs to man up on their opponents.

Why does Laurie get selected?

Gee we really only have one really effective midfielder and Moore rammed his knee into his kidneys.

 

Dark days ahead. At least in the Neeld years I had no expectations.

    I’d be looking to move on some value whilst it’s still there. We have good talent coming through in Windsor, Pickett, Howes, Bowey, Rivers and Sparrow. I’d be looking to cash in Petracca. Gawn, Viney and May will slow down. We need to replenish our stocks.

    Keep Petracca, cash in Oliver.

    Nothing to do with it. Sacking coaches is generally a backward step, it's all on the players. Both North and the Suns brought in "star" coaches and the differences are marginal at best. Improvement can only come through the list.

    So who will we pick with pick 4 in the draft. That must have been the shortest dynasty in history.

    No way we are making the 8. Goodwin lost this team weeks ago. Our game style, if you lose the side, it becomes evident. 

    Reminds me of. the Neeld days. Dark days!

    Blow it up, make some hard decisions on the trade table and hit the draft. We're cooked.

    Do we have our first round pick this year?

    Any chance of a miraculous come from behind win?

    I want to unload on this team. But I’ll hold my tongue. I stopped watching after quarter time and I’m glad I did.

    where was the response? The first 5 mins told me all I needed to know. The season is shot, the window is shut and we will likely be clear dwellers for the next while. 
     

    Id be looking to do a mini reset end of year. Move on players and coaches. Retire a few and look to a new game plan that can flex on contest and ball movement. It’ll take a few years for it take hold and become finals ready. 
     

    All I can say is I’m really disappointed in this club.

    I guess he'll be satisfied only when we become North and win 3 wooden spoons in a row. If you are a serious organisation need to make the hard decisions when necessary, not just wait until it all falls apart.

    I suppose Trac with broken ribs was actually more effective than Billings

    We are playing soft football

    This. 

    Ironically after all the talk from all and sundry that last week's weak effort wasn't acceptable.

    News flash MFC, neither is this.

    Bruise free footy with poor skills thrown in for a laugh.

    The manic play on with errant handballs and a backline that doesn't communicate.

    What a waste of a day watching this tripe.

    As long as Petty gets dropped....oh wait .

    And Maynard hasn't even been tickled.

    Last week was a dark one but today hasn't been much better.

    Perhaps the club won't say anything after today's loss. One can only hope. But they won't. They'll roll out some tripe about something. Spare us please .

    If you can't come out and make a statement against a club that silenced one of our most beloved and best players then forget about anything else.

    2024 season RIP.

    • PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      With both sides precariously positioned ahead of the run home to the finals, only one team involved in Sunday’s clash at the Adelaide Oval between the Power and the Demons will remain a contender when it’s over.  On current form, that one team has to be Melbourne which narrowly missed out on defeating the competition’s power house Collingwood on King's Birthday and also recently overpowered both 2024 Grand Finalists. Conversely, Port Adelaide snapped out of a four-game losing streak with a win against the Giants in Canberra. Although they will be rejuvenated following that victory, their performances during that run of losses were sub par and resulted in some embarrassing blow out defeats.

    • NON-MFC: Round 14

      Round 14 is upon us and there's plenty at stake across the rest of the competition. As Melbourne heads to Adelaide, it's time to turn our attention to the other matches of the Round. Which teams are you tipping this week? And which results would be most favourable for the Demons’ finals tilt?

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.
