Bring in the psychologist

The psychologist has left the building a long time ago. Was going to see his own psychologist.

    the kicking is now in their head, I have no doubt. We have always been a bad kicking side, but never this bad.

    Do they even do goal kicking practice?

    How have they allowed this to continue year after year?

    Isn't Mark Williams our kicking coach. He's about 20 years past his use by date. I understand he's a respected figure and likes the job but I actually don't think he can do it.

    9 scoring shots for 12 points is a [censored] disgrace.

    Totally embarrassing. They honestly should be ashamed.


    Just stopping by for my obligatory game day “good kicking is good footy” drive by. Bad kicking really is axiomatic of the Melbourne Football Club isn’t it.

    Crazy

    any chance these professionals might take their profession seriously and spend time on goal kicking practice

    absolutely pathetic skills
     

    Trac, Oliver and Pickett the million dollar men and none of them can kick.

    The fact is, if you have bad set shot kickers having shots on goal then you're going to kick lots of behinds.

    Petracca,

    Melksham,

    Langdon

    All bad at set shots with a drop punt.

    1 goal 6 and an oooooof!

    Saw another clip of Gawny practicing hook kicks from the boundary during the week.

    These blokes are dead set amateurs in their approach and preparation.

    And..... The coaching panel should be sorting this pathetic attitude and lack of skills out...about 3 f'ing years ago.

    Dead set

    Jeffo is just so far off the standard

    As opposed to the seasoned Tracca

    It’s missing set shots form close to goal that hurts the most that 3 inside 30 1 on the full and 2 behinds. Be one thing if they were bombs from the boundary line 50 out or in traffic but these are the most easy shots a player could ask for

    Who the hell is teaching them to hold the ball on set shots?? Melksham and Petracca awful technique. Get Dunstall down there over summer. Skill atrocious. Over paid fat cats.


    Rinse & Repeat .. its cost us games, finals 4 seasons on & it’s getting worse…who’s in charge of our kicking skills should be flicked

    Admittedly, Picket usually can. He’s probably just down in confidence like the rest of them. I think that’s two weeks in a row, or at least I’ve seen him belly the ball twice in a span of weeks. Always rushing when he has all the time in the world.

    Freo doing the same. 2.5 in the last Q

    The weakening thing is: you could see on Tracc's face as he was lining up that he knew he would miss and don't want to kick it. Reminded me of Eishold, 1987 prelim


    Any chance Fritsch can pull his finger out and get involved. Runs around like an entitled child.

    When will this madness end?

    Petracca - 2 misses from 35m and 45m directly in front
    Langdon - misses 35m out directly in front
    Melksham - misses 40m out directly in front
    Pickett - misses from 15m on a 45degree angle
    Jefferson - misses from 3m out on the line (don't forwards practice opposite kicking around the body? This would have an easy shot if on the other side).

    This is the MFC mantra.

    on the positive side, i think we're well ahead on expected scores

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
