Lol double handed throw off the ground... ignored

 
 

Our ball handling is so bad. What’s Chocco doing with them

Not sure about Kolt. 

For a 19 y.o. playing his 9th/10th game, I reckon he could be doing WAAAAYYYYY worse

Good lord Viney..

Looks cooked and we sign him to a new 3 year deal.

What ever they are doing they are still trying.  [censored] run with the free kicks but still going for it

I’m usually a bit of an optimist, but no, they have not been trying at all. They have been lazy, giving them acres of room, applying little to no pressure, constantly being caught flat footed, fumbling the ball, etc etc etc.

Let's get one thing straight moving forward.

Judd McVee is NOT a midfielder at all. Getting spanked and exposed big time in there.

Tried the experiment, that's a wrap.

Given up 9 goals from turnover

 

Quality football side

Do you remember last week Dazzle?

6 goals to 7 since quarter time. 
not all gloom

You wonder if Lever isn't the only one with illness with this kind of performance.

Small sample size,  but McVee not working in the midfield.

Only been a few weeks, but seems he needs the game in front of him and struggles with congestion around. Also appears he doesn't have great top speed and so rushes and shank kicks bursting forward. When down back he has side step from whats coming front on and kicks after a few steps, not on the run. Appears better suited to half back based on this. 

Not every good small defender or forward needs to be made into a midfielder.

Can't wait for another season of this exceptional ball use in 2025.

Same as.Petty not being a forward, just stop

McVey off interchange straight to rooms.  
Anyone see anything?

I reckon Chocco's times up at the club.

Skills are non existent.

We have gotten very sloppy as a football club.

2025 is definitely make or break for Woey.

Not sure what his strengths are.

I'm really hoping he is a late bloomer like his old man. Shane was drafted as a mature age player when he was 21 in 97.

He’s nowhere near strong enough. He’s so good at HB I just don’t understand the need to play him in the middle at this stage.

It’s the kids 3rd game playing through the midfield.

 

Sheeeesh 

 

Kolt can’t pick up a ground ball and Woey just doesn’t have required AFL features.  
 

Sad to see ANB have such a bad final game.

You gotta be kidding mate. I clearly was talking about Collingwood

  • NON-MFC: Round 09

    Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

    Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front. They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

  • 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.
