Hmm, I'm not sure the Demons will win this.

Reality check.We have been drinking our own bathwater. How can your work rate and intensity be so different between weeks. All in their heads. What a disgrace.

12 hours ago12 hr

Equal last, 17-loss streak, 62.7%, currently now pantsing us.

This undoes so much of our hard work this year, and it's just one game, but gee this is why we can't trust the team, and why we still don't draw big crowds. Unlike the hawks, cats etc, you just don't know who you're going to get.

Another jumper hold on Gawn in the ruck. But no call. Blind [censored]

AFL was never letting the Bombers all time losing streak to occur

We’ve lost to one of the worst teams in the comp. Let’s not make excuses it’s a [censored] embarrassment for the MFC

This is disgrace
Undoes anything that we've done in 1stv4 weeks

Nah, this was always a chance to happen. Dons picked up the intensity last week against the Dogs, got some belief, trying to not lose a record amount of games.

I thought we would win but this doesn’t completely shock me.

Super disappointed in their efforts today.

No care with the ball at all.

Terrible turnovers and they wanted it much more.

Blinman will say we were loading 🤣🤣🤣

It’s undone all their good work ….

Spot on. This club historically has a knack of doing the most dumbest and embarrassing things.

How we dropped 2 games to Carlton in ‘06 when they were genuinely wooden spoon [censored] which cost us top 4 still sh*ts me to this day.

It’s little wonder why clubs and the wider AFL do not fear or respect us.

40+ pt belting. Unforgivable.

Give a side a sniff that’s lost its last 17 and you pay the price. Dees look utterly lost now. up by 20 near the end of the second and now down by 40. 11 out of the last 12 goals!

Gotta be some big questions asked

12 hours ago12 hr

When the Swans beat us after 26 loses it was by 40 points. There is no excuse for this.

Some of the most unaccountable footy I’ve seen since Neeld days. Windsor needs to learn to defend a man

12 hours ago12 hr

This is a pathetic game.. absolute pathetic. This is how you undo 4 weeks of good work. Absolutely pathetic. Windsor and Culley have been atrocious. Melksham and McDonald look shot. Absolutely disgusting.

12 hours ago12 hr

Very disappointing but not that surprising

@binman

King mistake 1

5 tall forwards. Fritsch. Milkshake. Petty. JVR. Mihocek. No crumbers. No pressure. No pace. No tackles in fwd50

King mistake 2.

Archie Roberts. Quarterback. 35 possessions each week. We refused to shut him form. Poor planning.

12 hours ago12 hr

We’re still mentally weak, clear as day.

The most 2024 and 2025 performance I’ve seen.

No fight and no clue.

Absolutely miserable performance.

Utterly embarrassing

Agree the future are youngsters

Turning this off, poor.

Just about as disappointed I have been in this team in a long time, probably more so because we started a new chapter and looked to have a new mindset. Losing is fine. Losing like this, to them, is not fine.

PREVIEW: Essendon
PREVIEW: Essendon

Not long ago, the narrative surrounding Melbourne was steeped in pessimism. There was some concern among the pundits (and even some fans) that the club would arrive at the AFL’s Gather Round still winless, vulnerable to a familiar adversary in the Essendon Football Club, and facing significant scrutiny from an ever-critical media on a national stage. Things have changed.

REPORT: Gold Coast

Steven King astutely identified the issues that had plagued the Melbourne Football Club over the past two and a half seasons when he auditioned for the newly created coaching role. The side that had claimed the 2021 premiership had become stodgy, slow-paced, and hesitant to take the initiative.

I’ll be away for the next few weeks, so Binman will be holding the fort for our podcasts covering the Suns, Bombers and Lions matches. As a result, there will be no live podcasts during this period, and we won’t be taking calls or voicemails. Binman will still be dipping into this thread to select a few questions to answer, while also combining the long-form Stats Files podcast with the Demonland Podcast for these shows. Your questions and comments are a huge part of what makes the podcast work, so please post anything you’d like to ask or say below and we’ll do our best to give you a shout-out on the show. Please try to keep each post focused on one specific topic or player to make podcast preparation a little easier. If you have multiple topics you’d like to raise, please put them in separate posts.
