This is a coaching disgrace. You can’t do the exact same thing and expect a different result. 

Ground hog day since 2017

Howes is weak at the contests.

He is, but Freo’s smalls weapon is their run and pace more than contest. If we can’t even pick up their runners we are no chance to ever force contests.

To two Freo players? No-one was in our f50

Where's the run from his team mates. He had to go backwards 

Just kick for goal or the boundary line if there were no forwards. He was stupid kicking laterally and then turning it over. Absolutely nuts!


14-0 clearances. Have we ever seen a worse midfield performance under Goodwin?

Fullarton is a tax scam I swear. 

Reality is this year was [censored] as soon as we traded Grundy and brought in a guy who averages 4 hit outs a game. 

It's a scandal. Monstered at VFL level. Some on these boards think 'Fullo' is the real deal. Laughable if it wasn't embarrassing.

    Langdon sticks out because he covers the ground like the Freo mids. 

    Our spread is almost as bad as our clearance work.

    This loss will come down to Goodwins stubborn REFUSAL to play a Ruckman!

    Go Dees

    The pessimists are out again. Have some belief.

    At least when we are losing there is more reading on this forum. 

    If we get our system going can you all keep posting as I only have the radio. 

    Go Dees.

    There's plenty of footy to play but we sure make it hard for ourselves.

    And the Petty obsession continues 3 months on from the Rnd 5 debacle. 

    Not Petty's fault either.  That part's all on SG


    Shambolic.

    If Goodwin persists with the lunacy of (mis)using Petty in the ruck this will end up as a 100-point demolition.

    Sparrow and Bowey, among others, might as well have stayed in Melbourne for all they have brought to the game so far.

    Goodwin looks lost.

    Well done to Caleb Windsor for showing some initiative by switching the play which resulted in us going end to end in 20 seconds. This is why Fremantle aren’t a top 4 side, and a premiership threat. They play to percentages, and will always beat us as we are too predictable. We need to take more risks and force the game. Even if it means we could lose by 10 goals. 

    Not fussed if Petty moves on.

    Thanks for the memories.


    Chin's decision making and disposal is atrocious so far

     

    Windsor could’ve saved southgates job with soccer skills like that

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • PREGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons return to the MCG to take on the High Flying Hawks on Saturday Afternoon. Hawthorn will be aiming to consolidate a position in the Top 4 whilst the Dees will be looking to take a scalp and make it four wins in a row. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?
