The game

Featured Replies

Clogs always puts in 100% ..sometimes its effective...sometimes its not... but he does try.

 

Holland is so ordinary, but I love him!

He's our best forward today, that is incredibly depressing.

7 Melbourne forwards can't force a contest.

We are so so so bad, words cannot do justice to our inability to play this game called AFL.

Thank god Brocky is now in the midfield!

 
Holland is not that bad, but we will never climb the ladder with him.

Buckley does not chase hard enough, thats twice ive watched him jog after the guy with the ball. Not good enough.

Brock in the Baclkline .... what is Rilley on

Miller on Goodes

No chasing of opponents from the forwards

What a rabble

you know it cant be going really well if ol' Clogs is our top goal scorer !! lol


of course its AFL Another F'n Loss

Riley wanted chook to follow Bolton and Bolton went to the forward line.

We can not stick a tackle, so easy they slip our tackles.

Holland is actually playing well... a couple goals, second efforts, tackles

 

If I throw my other shoe at the TV, will they MAN-UP?

JUST MAN-UP!

If you can't kick, and you can't mark, at least stop your opponents from doing it!


It won't help Jaded, all it will mean is you will have to get up and get your shoe, just to throw it all over again.

I see no one wants to play on Schnieder, seems to be alone all the time.

Who is actually supposed to be playing on him?

Who is actually supposed to be playing on him?

I don't know! i have not seen anyone actually line up on him.


If we had of got rid of J.White, instead of Jolly, we would have had a top 10 draft pick and about an extra 300k to spend on another player, and we would be no worse off in the ruck.

If 'ifs' and 'buts' were dollars and cents, I'd have some number of dollars and probably some cents as well, although they annoy me.

Seriously, are we playing 2 men down, i always see free sydney players running through the middle of the ground?

We are the worst team in the competition

3.4.22

10.5.65

I know it's of no coincidence, but does anyone get the impression that Alastair Lynch hates the demons, Dwayne Russell loves the swans, and Danny Frawley doesn't want to be biased towards Melbourne because of James, so he butters the swans up. I know we're playing badly (understatement) but it's giving me the irits!

I too feel those vibes

 

i've been saying it for weeks/years, fox commentary is terrible.

always seems to be anti-melbourne, then again when you play like this what can you say for melbourne?

this is horrible to watch, though i still reckon better than kangas or port games

ffs we have the worst skills in australia!! every time simon buckley has had a possession he turns it over!! our delivery into the forward line is yuck!

  • PREVIEW: Richmond

    A few years ago, the Melbourne Football Club produced a documentary about the decade in which it rose from its dystopic purgatory of regular thrashings to the euphoria of a premiership victory. That entire period could have been compressed in a fast motion version of the 2025 season to date as the Demons went from embarrassing basket case to glorious winner in an unexpected victory over the Dockers last Saturday. They transformed in a single week from a team that put in a pedestrian effort of predictably kicking the ball long down the line into attack that made a very ordinary Bombers outfit look like worldbeaters into a slick, fast moving side with urgency and a willingness to handball and create play with shorter kicks and by changing angles to generate an element of chaos that yielded six goals in each of the opening quarters against Freo.

  • NON-MFC: Round 07

    Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • REPORT: Fremantle

    For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

  • CASEY: UWS Giants

    The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

  • PREGAME: Richmond

    The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?
