I started to get nervous when Essendon’s VFL side almost beat the Lions at the Gabba. Sydney nearly lost by 100 on their home deck last night, and the Hawks are really ordinary (we lost). Form line not as good as it suggests, we’ve improved, but still pretty ordinary

This is the exact reason we can't pull crowds to games.
The same reason Melbourne supporters who do show up are reserved early game.
You just cannot trust them.

A win today and there would've been 70-80k next weekend.
Now I'll tip 65.
55 of which will be Collingwood.

Yeah. bring 'em on.

Shame on this goal kicking.

It's not Afl standard and as supporters we should tell the club it's unacceptable.

I'm wondering how the pies will crush us.

Even in the last ten mins , three goals down we looked disinterested.

Woeful.

Is he good enough to play VFL nowadays?

Probably not, he looks like a COVID top up player who has been retired for a few years


We've been playing in Alice Springs for over a decade right? I could understand how we saw more Adelaide, Port and West Coast supporters at the games. I could even understand how we saw more Freo supporters. But how do the [censored] Saints get stronger support there than a team that's spent a decade hiking out of its way to play there?

Aside from all the arguments around money, the effects on performance in games after and whether we'd have won the game if it was at the MCG, we should walk from this place simply because the locals don't get behind us. We're giving ourselves an extra away game at this point, even the seven broadcast seemed to treat it like it was the Saints home game.

 

Amongst all that, good to see McVee back to something like his best. Turner really consolidating himself as a first-tier key defender.

Probably a few other positives - but perhaps not the time.

Libby Birch was spot on in her analysis in The Age podcast last week. Nailed it to the ground. Pathetic performance by the Club.

Normalise context.


Message from the Melbourne Football Club: "Ha ha ha! Fooled you! All you Demons supporters out there who think we're trying to get into the finals. We are not. We are just trying to amuse all the supporters of the other clubs. We are here just to frustrate you. We play this game called football, but we don't even bother to learn the basic foot skills needed to play a game called FOOTball. Why should we? We are just the light entertainment to keep the crowds amused while the serious teams win all the spoils. Hint: every time we publish a selection list or recruit a "gun" young player, just laugh. Laugh your hardest. Because we are, too."

1. Tmac back in for Lever. He needs fitness and form

  1. Jeffo for AJ

  2. Cancel the mid season break and have a skills and goal kicking intervention. As far as I care they can practice until the team does at least 10 hammies. Not standard hammies, I’m talking off the bone type stuff.

Lever and Oliver… putrid, the game has gone past both of them.

Disappointing margin and game, but can only blame ourselves for not finishing

I'm a tour leader on a ship going through Germany that was involved in a collision last night, leaving me to deal with 150 old Americans with questions, complaints and a full program to rearrange. Only got to watch the last qtr and it was more painful than any of that.


We let Milera run on his own for most of the day, no wonder their transition game cut us up.

Lord only knows what Daicos will do to us next week.

OH AND QUIT IT WITH THIS [censored] AT ALICE SPRINGS

WHATEVER WE ARE GETTING, IT’S NOT WORTH THE LOSS.

(caps intentional)


May to his credit showed some flair after quarter time.

Lever is playing as if he's still on one ankle.

Petty is a liability in the forward line and was repeatably beaten by Caminiti (who might be one of the softer players I've seen at AFL level).

Stop selling home games up there. It’s not worth the money.

Totally agree we gave up whatever advantage is left in the AFL & made it a 50/50 game, I don’t see Collingwood doing this but hey as long as we are feeling great flying the flag of …. We are a professional football club playing on a country ground for 4 premiership points yet are willing to give up home ground advantage!

There's no way of telling anyone of importance at the club. It's a closed shop now with zero input from fans in terms of letting anyone of importance within the club know about any grievances or constructive criticism / suggestions / ideas etc.

Probably the same at most clubs i assume.

  • 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?
