    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

    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.

    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.

    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.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      Hands up if you thought, like me, at half-time in yesterday’s game at TIO Traeger Park, Alice Springs that Melbourne’s disposal around the ground and, in particular, its kicking inaccuracy in front of the goals couldn’t get any worse. Well, it did. And what’s even more damning for the Melbourne Football Club is that the game against St Kilda and its resurgence from the bottomless pit of its miserable start to the season wasn’t just lost through poor conversion for goal but rather in the 15 minutes when the entire team went into a slumber and was mugged by the out-of-form Saints. Their six goals two behinds (one goal less than the Demons managed for the whole game) weaved a path of destruction from which they were unable to recover. Ross Lyon’s astute use of pressure to contain the situation once they had asserted their grip on the game, and Melbourne’s self-destructive wastefulness, assured that outcome. The old adage about the insanity of repeatedly doing something and expecting a different result, was out there. Two years ago, the score line in Melbourne’s loss to the Giants at this same ground was 5 goals 15 behinds - a ratio of one goal per four scoring shots - was perfectly replicated with yesterday’s 7 goals 21 behinds. 
      This has been going on for a while and opens up a number of questions. I’ll put forward a few that come to mind from this performance. The obvious first question is whether the club can find a suitable coach to instruct players on proper kicking techniques or is this a skill that can no longer be developed at this stage of the development of our playing group? Another concern is the team's ability to counter an opponent's dominance during a run on as exemplified by the Saints in the first quarter. Did the Demons underestimate their opponents, considering St Kilda's goals during this period were scored by relatively unknown forwards? Furthermore, given the modest attendance of 6,721 at TIO Traeger Park and the team's poor past performances at this venue, is it prudent to prioritize financial gain over potentially sacrificing valuable premiership points by relinquishing home ground advantage, notwithstanding the cultural significance of the team's connection to the Red Centre?

      After a disappointing loss in Alice Springs the Demons return to the MCG to take on the Magpies in the annual King's Birthday Big Freeze for MND game. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: St. Kilda

      After kicking the first goal of the match the Demons were always playing catch up against the Saints in Alice Spring and could never make the most of their inside 50 entries to wrestle back the lead.

      It's Game Day and the Demons have traveled to Alice Springs to take on the Saints and they have a massive opportunity to build on the momentum of two big wins in a row and keep their finals hopes well and truly alive.
