Not a big fan of the chip/mark game plan in defence. We don’t have the skill for that and it just feels pointless. 

 

I like it. Make them defend in the heat. There’s nothing to lose from doing that in a game like this. It’s a new look for us and now’s the time to see how it works.

 

Death, Taxes, Melbourne playing boring predictable vanilla football

Positives

Trac back

Clayton contributing

AJ having a crack

young blokes getting a touch

Negatives

Early goals matter

Another knee takes out a Demon champ

is Rivers playing?

Disposal mediocre hand & foot

Set shots suck (again)

Freo Bunnies!


I totally forgot about this game. Took the kids to the park.

Good choice.

Billings is so useless, looked defeated as soon as he marked it. 

Except for his two missed shots at goal, he has played better than a dozen other teammates. 

 

So far we have been a distant second best in basic skills, ball movement, marking contests, pace and kicking accuracy.

Apart from that, Goody will tell you everything is going to plan.

At least there’s lots of love … a practice game let’s hope the 2nd half & the season ahead is positive

Geez we look sloppy today. Yet another afternoon where Treacy and grandpa Walters do as they please.

Easy misses from Salem, Fritsch, Sharp, AJ and Billings hasn’t helped massage the scoreboard. Billings is so useless, looked defeated as soon as he marked it. 
 

Just a praccy match but definitely close to worst case scenario on what I didn’t want to see today. 

If there’s just ONE positive that I’m going to take out of today… you have fixed the Bnag in your profile name!!! Now THAT’s cause for celebration!!🎉🙌👏

Give Koz a run ffs

What’s the point?

He’s not going to bail us out in the first 3 games so you may as well not bother today.

F50 ground ball pressure needs to lift along with set shots. That will stop their rebound from defence 
2 teams but very humid today in Peel region currently 26 degrees with 81% humidity 


Hate the chipping around. When other teams do it to us I love it because it means they don't know what to do. And that's how it is going with us. And every kick is another opportunity for the other team to intercept in their forward line FFS.

Soz to kill your one positive HT, they’re two different posters. The Bnag still lives.

Missed Fritsch for an easy out the back kick too, he’s been far from the worst but so uninspiring

Now talking about "21", after the spiel about last year.

Our first real hit out with a new forward coach.

Give us a chance before all this, pessimism.

Wait until mid season, or at least after the first couple of H&A games.

But, then you won't be able to say "I told you so"!

Ok I'll try.tx.

yep

and none of our players have the skills to pick the eye out of a needle

it won't work when you can't hit a target under minimal pressure

Learnings 

Still working on Forward connection 

Skills need improvement 

guess what ? 

it’s the same lyrics to the same song as last years

Everyone still think Bowey is an excellent half back? 

He hasn't been the same since his injury.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • POSTGAME: Collingwood

    Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.

    It's Game Day and the Demons face a monumental task as they take on the top-of-the-table Magpies in one of the biggest games on the Dees calendar: the King's Birthday Big Freeze MND match. Can the Demons defy the odds and claim a massive scalp to keep their finals hopes alive?
