    You’ve given two players a positive review (of sorts) and yet we had two players less for most of the game and went down by four goals. Genuinely clueless assessments

    Bizarre take, unless you’re into participation medals.

    No, I'm into a bit of logic. You should try it.

    If 20 or so players are deemed hopeless, heartless, past it or disinterested, it's impossible for them to lose by 4 goals.

    If you agree with all of those half - baked assessments, do yourself a favour and don't follow the team at all.

    The fact you unironically and legitimately espoused the old “supporters support” line, says enough.

    A whole lot of babble which means nothing.

    Ok, did you think Trent Rivers looked disinterested?

    Umpires - doing HQs job

    oh that ol' chestnut - never seen an umpire take a kick for a player and then miss the teammate or goal.

    This. Thank you @Anti Saint. Could it be that we are a below average side?

    absolutely - we are down the bottom as we have experienced The Premiership Effect, ie, you win a flag and you get cache, as you should.

    But, we are gone.

    Now, it's time for change (Gough Whitlam said that of the loooong-term Liberals).

    While I am on the quotes - "The harder you work, the luckier you get," said Thomas Jefferson.

    We are not working hard enough in many facets on and off the field.

    I read Joeboy for a laugh. This kind of wrong-but-bold commentary is often more entertaining than accurate analysis. There’s something delightfully absurd about reducing a players whole game to three words — especially when it's generally hilariously off the mark.

    I was literally out in the bush today and neither heard nor saw the game ( just as well it seems).

    I always read this thread and appreciate Joeboy being prepared to put it out there, as they say.

    However, @Return to Glory is consistently an insightful and knowledgable poster whose view should be respected.

    Interesting debate.

    @joeboy I should also add that I read your 3 word analysis regularly and do enjoy your work. We all get frustrated with losing and I am no different

    Harsh in Lindsay. No growth on a young man who had a limited pre-season is not fair. He was not seen today, but his growth has been impressive.

    Salem - runs on a treadmill.

    Can anyone explain what in the world Sparrow’s role is? He’s never looked so poor. I’d take a meat pie and stale chips over Sparrow lately.

    My thoughts exactly Unc.

    I thought Joeboy wasn't far off with his assessment and at first couldn't imagine people could even have 6 players in the votes thread but Return to Glory's post did deviate my thinking slightly on how I evaluated the performances.

    It's ok to have stances questioned, anyone who does it respectfully doesn't demand that you change it. I think it can be confusing because so many people on here don't do that and gaslight you if your take differs slightly to theirs. Appreciate both Joeboy's and RFG's contributions.

    • PREVIEW: North Melbourne

      Can you believe it? After a long period of years over which Melbourne has dominated in matches against North Melbourne, the Demons are looking down the barrel at two defeats at the hands of the Kangaroos in the same season. And if that eventuates, it will come hot on the heels of an identical result against the Gold Coast Suns. How have the might fallen? There is a slight difference in that North Melbourne are not yet in the same place as Gold Coast. Like Melbourne, they are currently situated in the lower half of the ladder and though they did achieve a significant upset when the teams met earlier in the season, their subsequent form has been equally unimpressive and inconsistent.

    • REPORT: Adelaide

      The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.

    • CASEY: Coburg

      The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

    • PREGAME: Rd 18 vs North Melbourne

      After four weeks on the road the Demons make their long awaited return to the MCG next Sunday to play in a classic late season dead rubber against the North Melbourne Kangaroos. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
