We are getting smashed. Time to try something different. McVee and Kolt to the guts. 

 

Lever [censored] lazy defending!

Sparrow too busy guarding space when Fyfe was by himself.

Petty is as weak as a butter in every ruck contest.

Embarrassing display. About ready to turn it off.


Nice easy training run for Freo. Fullarton couldn't have done any worse than our current rucks. This is just embarrassing. 

 

 

We're lucky not to be down by 10 goals already.

Bombing it down the line with no ruckman isn't working, need to run and overlap to break through their zone.

Winning a clearance or 2 would be a good idea as well.

Send Petty back, TMac into ruck and JVR has to stay forward.

Agree, good get

May to FF

Petty to FB

Yep i agree with that

Chin's man in the middle there.  He was just ball watching even after they held it up for 10 seconds on the wing.

Disgraceful defending

switched off. 

 

This is worse than the last time we played them and that was the worst game I’ve seen us play under Goodwin. 


At least we have the bombers loss to remember.. might turn on that replay 

Fell right into Walters lap, it's all going right.

Something isn't right with Lever 

Just gonna chuck the rods in the car.

Glad I’ve waited all weekend for this. Can’t believe this is how we play when a top 4/5 spot is on the line……No ruckman is a disgraceful decision. 


Goodwin has to do something different. We can’t have another smashing or one team will cost us finals.

  • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

    The media has performed a complete reversal in its coverage of the Melbourne Football Club over the past month and a half. Having endured intense criticism from all quarters in the press, which continually identified new avenues for scrutiny of every aspect, both on and off the field, and prematurely speculated about the departures of coaches, players, officials, and various employees from a club that lost its first five matches and appeared out of finals contention, the narrative has suddenly shifted to one of unbridled optimism.  The Demons have won five of their last six matches, positioning themselves just one game (and a considerable amount of percentage) outside the top eight at the halfway mark of the season. They still trail the primary contenders and remain far from assured of a finals berth.

  • 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.
