I am sick of the JVR bashing on this forum. You try performing in a.forward line that bombs it on top of your head week after week, and being coached by a backman who teaches him no forward craft. Don't be surprised if the way he is playing IS due to the way he has been instructed to play.

    2 GOALS IN A HALF?!

    And one of them was from a class kossie bit of magic. Everything looks hard once it gets to the forward 50.

    It says a lot on a top deck, perfect for footy, not a breath of wind and we’ve managed just 2 goals.

    Looked up at my '21 GF poster.

    Fumbly, sloppy, indecisive, none of them seem to know what they should be doing. It is unbelievable to think this was the team to beat a couple of years ago, they look like headless chooks out there.

    When we had Roffey who was a great President because she offered something different. Green and Jones are Fanboys and they are not football intellects wide-armed person people (as Roffey was).

    A lot of the reasons why we are in the mess we now find ourselves is due to Roffey’s ‘leadership’.

    Her complacency as president is as great as Goodwin’s as coach.

    Who knew that when you play one key forward who is only 193cm you won’t take F50 marks…. Oh that’s right every demon supporter and person other than the coaches.

    Worst move he's made since Omac up forward

    Sigh. It is all looking too familiar.

    Scrappily keep ourselves clinging on in the general play but completely failing to take the opportunities when we manage to send it forward.

    Gradually falling behind... and then...

    The shoulders drop and there's a 15 minute period where we give away multiple goals.

    Sometimes the cycle repeats twice in a single game, sometime the slump period just runs out the rest of the game like against Geelong.

    It is almost the exact opposite of our 2021 experience - grinding away with a slight steady advantage, until the opponent can't keep up and we shatter them at some stage of the second half.

    100%. JVR has shown he is a player, we are absolutely ruining his development.

    When you are watching it live you get a true appreciation to how substandard the skill level is , including routine short passes! The number of times kicking to opposition players!! Woeful !!

    • AFLW REPORT: St. Kilda

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
