What a sad, embarrassing way to end the season. Barely fired a shot.

I'll probably cop flack for this but I think we should seriously entertain the idea of trading Fritsch.

    Omfg, free against Melk for using his body and strength. Umpires been horse**** the salt in the wounds.

    Any danger we can tackle? It amazes me how many times our players have both hand on them but they fend it off or worse, dispose cleanly of the ball.

    Definitely after the Brownlow.

    I'm just hoping that Woey can develop into a player that can reliably play a role. He is a liability at the moment and I cringe when I see him named in the team.

    He is way too slow by foot and upstairs.  There's just no weapons there at all that would suggest he'll be able to take the next step.

    He would need to gain a yard or two in pace and a massive improvement in agility and skills.  While anything's possible it seems very unlikely at this point.

    Isn't there a rule for lightning? There's a huge thunderstorm at the moment in the west.

    Stop the game and call it a draw…. 

    Or stay on and let it hit Maynard

    Diabolical Laurie 

    Shouldn't be in our list, don't understand why we keep expecting him to become a player.

    Is there any chance Petty could win just one one v one contest?

    Simon's Petty obsession has been a complete and utter fail this year bar about 2.5 matches.

    Could've played Jeffo for two or three matches just see where he's at and give us a diff look inside 50.  Plus maybe a few goals to spur him on to work harder towards 2025.

    Fritsch and ANB for Rachele and a second rounder

    Is that the same Rachele who’s been dumped for repeatedly not adhering to team first values ? Didn’t think we were needing that sort of contribution 

    Langdon likes to take the half half approach garding 2 players and then takes the closest player leaving a free player.

    It's disgraceful they are not suspending the match. This tells you that Ch7 controls the AFL.

    Does anyone else think about how we were so close to getting Max Holmes instead of Laurie everytime Laurie does something rubbish?

    I've been as critical of Petty as anyone this year but he has clearly improved in the latter part of the season. I don't think it would do Jeffo any good playing in this side tonight.

    It’s difficult to escape the conclusion there is a range of parties against our club

    Why did we go off against WCE?

    What is happening with the umpiring

    why doesn’t the club call this out

    • 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.
