What was with JVR goal not allowed. At the ground and no idea why the review said it hit the post?

Why on earth was Disco subbed in and put in the backline.

Yep I was dumbfounded when I saw TMAc fwd. Make it make sense.

Just more AFL HQ manipulation.


5 day breaks only affect us it seems.

Oh right, TMAC forward now.

Tanking lite?

Going by his goal kicking, possibly 😂

Though his kick was a bit poor, barely made the distance.

It didn’t look like it in the telly. And no one is questioning it. 


Daylight between the post and the goal, but no disallow the goal. 
 

The arc is the most corrupt display of bias I’ve ever seen.

Maybe the dogs will get tired given they are coming off a 5 day break? Kind of like we do after a 5 day break? It’s about our only chance to steal a 5 goal loss here. 

Are we going to do our usual thing and come back in the last to lose by less than a kick, and then claim it to be an honorable loss? That practice is a load of bollocks

So we dominated clearances this quarter without Clarry or Viney doing anything. Interesting. 

Enjoying our goal kicking accuracy :cool:

Classic Goodwin.

Try to cobble together some left field strategy with the season on the line.

Did the same thing last year putting Petty forward in the dying quarter.

Why is TMac playing forward? He has openly stated his previous injuries have resulted in him being unable to play forward, and the club have told him as much. He was nearly delisted as a result. How is this suddenly not an issue in the middle of a game? This club and coaching staff is a joke, honestly.

Also, consider the Melksham experiment over. Might as well just retire tomorrow.

Terrible quarter from the first minute to the last. We have maybe three players who want to be there, the rest are clearly looking forward to going on holidays.

We are shameful 

As bad as the umps have been ...yep..we have been five times worse.

We have no midfield 

 

It helps when you do.

Remember when we played this mob in a gf three years ago?

Seems like a decade and yet a lot of them are still out there getting pantsed.

Make no mistake the score line doesn't count.

We have been absolutely put to the sword tonight.

This year.

 

I’m not even angry anymore. 
 

We are literally rock bottom. No fight, no class , nothing. We are fast becoming a joke and irrelevant.

Disco and Petty back now and Tmac has gone forward. Probably because he was getting too close to punching an umpire in the head. 

I’ve never seen him so angry. Can’t blame him. I would be suspended for life if I had been out there tonight.

 

we are lucky to be as close as we are their kicking has been almost as bad as our team is playing. lack of chasing and tackling is poor. same old same old. not manning up, too many opposition players running free. where is that team that won a grand final, is there any semblance of that team left. very disappointed in the way we have crumbled since winning the flag. our window of opportunity is closing again.

Just not good enough this year.

Too many have gone past us.

I fear we will need a helluva lot to go right to even make the 8 next year.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

    It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

  • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

    The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

  • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

    The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.
