Goody said we might experience some ‘teething’ problems early in the season. 
Reckon we might be looking for our dentures.

 

This will be pleasant 😂

Didn’t make the game as I’m sick. If I was healthy the game would have made me sick.

 

Good effort from Chandler and clarry.

 

not many positives to get out of this game, GC now a huge game. Get on down and support the lads 

I just don't see Goodwin taking us forward, we've slowly but steadily regressed year on year since the premiership.  I don't see him adapting, and I think he's too close to the players to make the hard choices that need to be made.  And there are definitely hard choices ahead based on this game. 

I'm officially moving to the Goodwin has to go camp as of this, admittedly helped along by how much I absolutely hate Norf.

 

Quick thoughts:
- Nobody played well (No Chandler PR please)
- Count the broken tackles and fine them a $1000 for each one. 
- Count every turnover that led to a scoring shot and fine them a $1000 for each one ($2000 if Comben was the one who intercepted it)
- Count every attempted fend off or shrug off that didn't break the tackle and fine them a $1000 for each one.
- Gawn can't 1 man ruck anymore
- 4 seasons with no key forward trades
- I'm so glad we traded our first round pick for no reason
- Why Langford is omitted for Spargo/Woewodin I'll never know

All money accumulated from fines can go to Jim Stynes foundation. Season's over and it's round 2 but what did anyone expect. Our premiership hopes relied on a forward line of Daniel Turner and Jacob Van Rooyen.


This time last week I was proud.  This week I’m embarrassed to the core!

I don't read replies or reactions 

Neither does our midfield 

Nothing has changed from last season 

only Rd 2 so we can regroup but I’m not confident we can turn this around. We’re just too old slow and poorly skilled 

shout out to chin who was excellent and the only positive from the day 

 

I wouldn't be too worried. We looked flat today and put it down to block periodisation and loading for our run into September.

You'll never have a hope in hell playing that game style and executing skills at sub-par levels. 

Call it for what it is, that was a dog's breakfast. 


A truly dire performance from start to finish. Our coach is clueless, our list is threadbare and our players are lacking in skills, game sense and heart.

We've won 5 of our last 17 games and look every bit a bottom 3 side. 

Lessons incoming…

I can excuse almost everything. All teams can have an off day. But we 100% yielded to a bottom 4 team.

We are not defined by one match, but today we were pea hearts and I don’t know what we can say about that at the beginning of the season. Round 2. After all the pow wows and culture and what not. All talk. 

I just bought a membership for my little one. So good.

I will kick us off.

What a surprise our forward line is a problem AGAIN. 

YOU DONT HAVE TO BE EINSTEIN TO SEE THAT WOULD BE A PROBLEM AGAIN THIS SEASON. 

For the love of god get Tom Hawkins down there even on a part time basis as a forwards coach to help our forwards learn wtf to do. His commentary was good to listen to. 

Gawn needs help, flogging him in every game is going to kill him. 

WAKE UP MELBOURNE AND FFS WAKE UP GOODY. 

0 - 2 to start the season 🤮 and we just got beat by Norf!!!!

Pressure is mounting. 

BTW Chandler was excellent today.

Don’t think it was just the forward line today, yep they were poor but the bombing into F50 where they had the extra number was dumb, Gawn and the midfield overall got absolutely pantsed

 

Losing happens. You can’t win every game in a competitive competition.

However, we have lost the same way for 3 years… we have no forward half structure or connection, there is zero cohesion it really is a rabble. 

I could take us losing if we lost trying to play a different style but it’s literally been the same [censored] for 3 straight years.. it’s really the square block in a round hole kind of approach and that solely falls onto the footy department and coaching staff, led by Goodwin. He simply cannot front another media conference and spin his [censored]. We have had enough learnings, we are simply just too far behind the 8 ball in game plan. We have wasted the prime of the careers of some very very good players, lucky we fluked a flag I guess along the way. A flag might I add that no one could go to.

 

That was arguably our single worst performance since Paul Roos' last game as coach.

The scary thing is that I don't even think North were that good. We were just absolutely atrocious on every front. We constantly fumbled, turned it over and failed to stick simple tackles. Our inability to hit a target in the f50 was comical.

I really don't know what year we are in for. All the confidence I gained after the GWS game is gone.

  • 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.

  • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

    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?
