Bayley Fritsch has turned into one of the worst footballers I've seen pull on a jumper in a long long time.

Yet goody won't drop him

This Neeld era bs

it really does feel like that doesn't it

messy, sloppy, poor skills, zero pressure defensively

how we have fallen so far from this time last year is just galling

Another Goodwin masterclass.

no clues

 

I look forward to the 10 minute spell where we play well and give us hope only to lose by 10 goals


Ahhh Gary.

We have been "See what happens" going forward since Goodwin took over.

Ive coached elite sport for many years, if my group of athletes fronted up to any comp with this level of skill I would have been sacked real quick. I cannot fathom how we can be this poor.

I want Goodwin to go as well, but he can't stop Petracca from hand balling to no one or fumbling a ball at his toes under no pressure.
And that's Petracca, our best player. All down the list we've gone backwards at warp speed.

A strong whiff of West Coast's post-flag trajectory about us now.

So we have 3 talls now plus Gawn

[censored] me


For the feint of heart time to stop watching. this is a 70 plus point loss coming up folks.

Why is our pressure factor always so low, and always lower than our oppo??

Sounds a lot like Garry is on the 'Sack Goody' train now


Look at the body language

Trac and even Gawn look defeated

Haven’t ever seen this before. You just know we have zero chance of winning

Belief has left the building

Even the commentators sound bored. The intensity and skill level is so bland. I'm bored it is so bad.

I'm not sure what's happened. I thought the days of playing badly like this were over.

This is bruise free footy

wtf are they doing in the coaches box? Are we just rocking back and forth repeating “it’ll come good stick to the process”?

We’ll be lucky to have 40,000 members next year if Goodwin and this playing style is persisted with.

  • 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.
