Nothing I’ve seen today says we are any good. No connection, no passion and sadly no skill.

 

That feeling when you win the qtr by 2 points. Especially when you’re just kicking points.

2 goals in a half, in such a dreary, boring gameplay is not going to put/keep bums on seats. What exactly is the plan here?? Going out a win against the Suns at our own home ground? With points?

What are we doing?

Where is this team going??????

    At the vane pathetic! Goodwin has destroyed this team

    Just too close to the players. They like him but no way they respect him. Would love him to prove me wrong.

    Effort and intensity is there. Ball movement, skills, kicking are just Truly horrible… how we’re just 17 down is a miracle. On the cards they open this up at some point and win by 60 plus.

    Still waiting for this theory that we tactically managed our fitness so we could out run the Suns today to come to fruition

    How can you accept a pay cheque for halfa million dollars a year, then proceed to miss simple set shots?

    Absolute mercenaries this lot.

    Frittata’s saving grace was his set shock kicking ….. does he have any now? Very sad.

    Diabolical footy, but that was a more even quarter. Bowey and Langford have been fantastic. Desperate for a spark.

    The fact we are only 3 goals down is a [censored] miracle. If only someone in the rooms knows how to flick the on switch at half time

    When players continually fumble simple passes, kick aimlessly and miss tackles, it's not the coach's fault.

    Whatever tactics are employed, multiple players who can't get the basics right will lose matches.

    And that's where we are right now.

    I know I said this earlier but I’ll say it again. Bowey had the ball across half back, everyone was just walking, no one ran to provide a lead or create space for another player. This has got NOTHING to do with the fact we are missing a couple of players.

    Unbelievably we are still in this game.

    We need to run as hard during the game as when heading to the interchange.

    Too many "Hail Mary's".

    How was Langford not deemed good enough to get a gig last week!

    "Hoh boy, I've got the ball!

    I'm going to forget our past 36 months of footy and just KICK IT forward without looking where I'm kicking it!"

     

    We are in a serious funk. I don’t think we can play any worse.

    We just need a bit of confidence. The intent is there - it’s between the ears now.

    All the signs of a team that will go through a full rebuild, reminds me of wc in 2022, lot of premiership players still there but fallen off badly

    • 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.
