Bad kicking is bad football.

So when we kick 9.16 today let's not talk about how well we moved the ball and breated chances.

    It’s rare that a player leaves our club and I wish them nothing but success. Nibbler is definitely one. Hunt another.

    Jeremy Howe on the other hand can shove it!

    I’d like to see James Jordon do well. He was a solid citizen and unlucky to miss out on a GF appearance with us.

    What is everyone’s pass mark for today, feel like if we can get within 4 goals that will be a great results considering where we are atm. Wouldn’t be surprised if we put up a good performance most of the game but get blown away in one of the qtrs and lose by 50 either.

    To me it isn’t the result that defines a pass mark but how we play.

    No pass mark if it’s another limp first quarter.

    Seeing us waste a stack of inside 50s and have them open us up on transition will rankle me even if it’s a close loss.

    But show up with consistent effort and an attempt to take decent shots on goal, converting them at least to AFL average, and that will help even if their talent means they win.

    he is due one :(he had a great start to the season but has gone abit quiet as of late

    Geez I know we are in the depths of despair but that's a new low to be worrying about Neal Bullen tearing us up. Average at best

    I will be surprised if the Croms don’t tear us to pieces today. Goodwin will then tell us all that “We will learn from it…”


    Every game is important and this is no different.

    If we the bring the heat and pressure from minutes one, and can sustain it, we're a chance of winning.

    Go redleggers.

    Nothing.

    No better options available to replace Petty and Howes.

    Thank you. Tough times.

    Seeing ANB deliver the ball into Adelaide’s forward 50, immaculately, is heartbreaking.

    Any chance Viney can hit someone on the chest with a handball? 🤦🏼‍♂️ He kills us with handballs to the feet of players.

    Fantastic contest and ball use from Roo there. This is what he needs to get going.

    Trac will never be a forward with this goal kicking craft.

    Why Adelaide fans booing Lever? Scott Thompson? ANB? Cumming? All left their clubs to head back to Adelaide (South Australia) 🤡🤦‍♂️

    Because they are stoooopid.

    • 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.
