Can we get our forwards on the Jesse Hogan gym program? He is a unit

The Genetics program?
He was a beast at 17years old.

He has been our saving grace this year, against Hogan in his best year ever, and you want him to retire off 1 bad game?

This is such a garbage post, I'd like to think you're better than that PF but maybe you're not. Dragged himself out of hospital to be there tonight and stood in the freezing cold on the boundary befor

We cost ourselves. They dominated us for long periods of time. Used it better and were just a class above. We tried hard but they’re simply better.

One team's season ends while another starts. Better team won 

In the end it could have gone either way.

We lost against a top-four team because of some crucial errors, not because any of the umpires cheated.

That's tough to take but hardly a reason for some of the venom being aimed at the players.

Some author will write a best seller on how to destroy a Premiership window based on the Melbourne Football Club.

94% of teams don't win the flag every year. In any year there's roughly 4 teams with a good shot at winning it, with form, fitness, health, game plan, luck all factors. Winning a flag is definitionally a successful traversal of a premiership window.

I wouldn't put the house on that book being a best seller.

[censored] season 2024 is the gift that keeps on giving.

Season on the line going into the last quarter and they dish that up. GWS kicked more goals (4) than we had touches after 5 minutes. Pathetic really. 

With 8 minutes left, Green kicked it OOF about 60 from our goal. We wasted about a minute switching the ball and then lost it out of bounds in the same spot, but on the other side of the ground. The [censored] was that?

And with 3 minutes left, we let them chip it around with ease. About a minute or minute and a half burnt. That extra time would have been handy at the end.

I dunno, I’m proud of the effort, but it is frustrating to see us bottling another season.

It didn’t even take a page for someone to say Laurie isn’t AFL standard , but I thought he showed a bit.

Back on the coaching with this one. Hogan is the premier full forward in the game and we have the premier fullback playing on Jake Riccardi until they made the move late in the last quarter.

Horrid coaching

Agree. McDonald unable to defend last 6 - 8 weeks, Lever showed the same and May has regressed this year, overweight IMO.

There’s been more than 1 bad game, last 6 weeks he has been unable to defend, yeah he’s had a few kicks. Not the answer moving forward and time to go past him IMO. 

Ok.

Can May ever regain any agility or is he done?

If the former he should sit out the season and get right. having a guy that can’t bend over at all is killing us

 May hasn't been able to collect a ground ball ... Ever.

Max could have smacked it forward or at least just try to get it down. 

 

Well he smacked the previous one forward .... To a lone GWS player.

Billings and Laurie not up to AFL standard.

They're not alone there though.

I'm really frustrated with Fritsch, he is a class player but his defensive efforts are deplorable. Late in the game "chasing" an opponent across half back his heart rate wouldn't have gone above 80bpm.

16k is club killing stuff

Umpires genuinely cost us the game, no ifs or buts about it.

I have not been as furious with the umpiring in I honestly don't know how long. 

I was apoplectic

Simply appalling. I'm still seething.

The blatant inconsistency is just mind numbing.

Mids got absolutely smashed all night.

You'd think by the last quarter we would have at least try to really go defensive on their mids to stop their stoppage dominance, but no we didn't.

Oliver giving Green space in that last centre contests sums it all up.

I’d think that if we had a 6x AA ruck playing against a ruckman with 1 arm; Oliver should have been trying to make space so we could win a game defining clearance.

Should have been 6 goals up at quarter time. 

Should never have conceded four goals in 5 minutes to start the last. 

Billings and Bowey atrocious, Gawn not fit, not sure May’s fit, and TMac had an all time stinker.

Some dodgy 50/50 umpiring against us (it was obviously a push to May and Green sucked them in by dropping his knees) but we are far too inefficient and it keeps killing us.

Through circumstances beyond anyone's control we just have too many key players out or underdone, and it's going to have an impact. Gutsy performance all the same against one of the best sides in the comp.

That last centre bounce was an absolute balls up.  

Max could have smacked it forward or at least just try to get it down. 

Instead Greene just waltzed it out

It was woeful.

Clarry was behind Greene on the defensive side (inexplicably) and maxy hit into open space on the offensive side allowing Greene to run onto the ball unimpeded.

Oliver last quarter: 3 touches and 1 tackle.

Will we ever see the best of him again?

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.
