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: Sydney

      A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.

    • POSTGAME: Sydney

      The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.

    • CASEY: Northern Bullants

      The Casey Demons travelled to a windy Cramer Street, Preston yesterday and blew the Northern Bullants off the ground for three quarters before shutting up shop in the final term, coasting to a much-needed 71-point victory after leading by almost 15 goals at one stage. It was a pleasing performance that revived the Demons’ prospects for the 2025 season but, at the same time, very little can be taken from the game because of the weak opposition. These days, the Bullants are little more than road kill. The once proud club, situated behind the Preston Market in a now culturally diverse area, is currently facing significant financial and on-field challenges, having failed to secure a win to date in 2025.

    • GAMEDAY: Sydney

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons have a golden opportunity to build on last week’s stirring win by toppling Sydney at the MCG. A victory today would keep them firmly in the hunt for a finals spot and help them stay in touch with the pack chasing a place in the Top 8. Can the Dees make it two in a row and bring down the Swans?
