    That is all on the Fitness and Coaching Staff

    Greeny should be on the phone to Longmire tonight

    Goodwin should resign after this match

    He has officially killed a very strong list

    If you told me the day after we won the premiership, in 4 years we will not win another final & miss finals 2 years in a row you would not have believed it. But here we are

    kossie is our only bright light.

    the rest are all huff and puff

     

    The jungle drums are starting to get louder on Simon.

    It will be a full blown concert by the end of the year.

    Kosi is the only player in the team who doesn’t make me want to burn my eyes out.

    Apologies to Bowey.

    When the pressure is off…

    The whole Football Department is Cooked

    Nope. Try something else that has a better chance of succeeding Lentfield or AJ when he returns. There is not a competitive bone in his body. Kolt on the other hand tries hard but has zero game awareness.

    Yeah maybe, I guess from an investment perspective I’d rather see Kolt stay in for the rest of the year because he’s still so young.


    This is an infuriating comeback!

    Goal kicking. Was already ordinary. Now regressed to being one of the worst shots in the league.

    I know it is quite incredible, that’s why i was disappointed that changes weren’t bought in after the ‘23 Finals Series

    You could see that the signs weren’t good. Our games were a grind to watch

    2 years later the wheels have totally fallen off

    It's the teasing that does my head in haha.

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      It was bad enough that the Melbourne Football Club created yet another humiliating scenario inside its wretched season at Marvel Stadium last Sunday, but the final insult is that it has been commanded to return to the scene of the crime to inflict further punishment on its fans this week. Incidentally, if this match preview, of a game that promises to be one of the most unattractive fixtures in the history of the game, happens to cut out of your computer screen three quarters of the way through, it’s no coincidence. I’ll be mirroring the Demons’ lacklustre effort against St Kilda from last Sunday when they conceded the largest last quarter turnaround for victory in the history of the game.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.
