    Get off the coach's back. Look at what he had to use on the field tonight then you may understand why we lost.

    Good teams win with injuries, too many had POOR games

    Yet you call it a disaster.  Strange interpretation of an interrupted debut season.

    That’s an interesting way of looking at it. 🧐

    Watched him closely 20 kicks 10 where from kick ins . That he kicked high to a pack everytime. 7 rebounds from defensive 50 for 5 turnovers . I wouldn't expect any one to watch that Trainwreck again but if you did you'd see he was not good

    So another one who just watches games for mistakes?

    The 3 word is easy for this game, similar to a few others this season, that have occurred for a myriad of reasons, hopefully some of which will be rectified next season.

    Poor team performance

    I love cricket.

    Time  to take the gentleman's game more seriously - the Dees let us down again - so it's Shield and Test cricket for the next 6 months ... total refreshment! That should give those who represent us at the Club sufficient time to make amends, turning abject failures into tangible ownership of rallied hopes. 

    '24 was an absolute disappointment, footy-wise.

    If so it's disappointing.

    Maybe wise from an injury perspective.

    I keep thinking poor Milkshake in the last h and a round last year.

    But from a payback perspective not so much. Just saying.

    I reckon he shows a bit up the ground but has NFI inside 50. Could work if we had other really good key forwards to kick to but for now JVR and Turner are just learning so you can't tell me he wouldn't provide more value as a defender. Appreciate his effort, resilience, and 33% goal increase last week but his lack of scoring has been a dead weight on our forward line this year.

    On Petty I wonder if it would be worth trialling him as a 4th tall defender? 

    Could he do a job on small/medium forward? Does he have sufficient pace/dexteriety to match and then use his strength & height as an advantage? 

    If he could play that role, could TMac then be a relief ruck option from out of the backline (or maybe too much to ask...)?

    • PREVIEW: Richmond

      A few years ago, the Melbourne Football Club produced a documentary about the decade in which it rose from its dystopic purgatory of regular thrashings to the euphoria of a premiership victory. That entire period could have been compressed in a fast motion version of the 2025 season to date as the Demons went from embarrassing basket case to glorious winner in an unexpected victory over the Dockers last Saturday. They transformed in a single week from a team that put in a pedestrian effort of predictably kicking the ball long down the line into attack that made a very ordinary Bombers outfit look like worldbeaters into a slick, fast moving side with urgency and a willingness to handball and create play with shorter kicks and by changing angles to generate an element of chaos that yielded six goals in each of the opening quarters against Freo.

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?
