20 points is nothing, if we keep close enough with them all game, we'll run over the top of them, after their day in the hot sun last week in brisbane

Signs aint good tho. Tackle count way down = lack of pressure; getting hammered by frees = 2nd to ball.

Anybody actually watching live?

Seems like Silvia, Moloney, Bartram & Jones are turning it over regularly?

Possible ruptured achilles for russel robertson...that would be season ending...

McLeans nose has been flattened all over his face...

not a fun day for the dees...

desperate to get Morton back into the team after he recovers from the flu...not because he would make a difference to the result but at least on a day when you are getting thrashed, it is something to remind you that all will be good one day in the future. Players like Yze may deserve a game but it really doesnt achieve much long term...and for those who will argue that we need experienced players to avert thrashings, today we added White, Yze, Wheatley and it hasnt done much

96 to 25 (3mins into 4th quarter)...possible wrist injury to Bate...we are dropping like flies

If it were anybody except the St's, we'd be a chance to lose this by 150+. On second thoughts, we still are. :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry:

i've been watching on tv because i have to run off to work, so i'll post my thoughts here quickly.

channel 7's coverage is a disgrace. they have been running full adbreaks after every goal. what a joke.

we are not trying hard enough to win the footy, we are worried more about negating st kilda.

we have no forward line - this is our biggest problem. the delivery into the forward line may be shite, but you can see the ball carriers look up, hesitate, realise there is nothing on, and just kick it long and high to a hot spot. we need another tall forward desperately. if newton can walk he should be playing next week because we are hopeless up there.

likewise, once the ball drops they are just running it out of there without any pressure.

umpires are shite again. 10-3 free kicks at one stage. not sure final count. ball had 6 at this point. what chance do we really have? holding the ball frees are just as bad as last week, and are paid sporadically.

the afl are morons. i still dont fathom how they designed this stadium - it is horrible. it seems like not a thought went into it. we were crucified by the sun in the first quarter, players dropping marks all over our forward line. close the freaking roof if you cant get it right.

i have been impressed with garland again. he appeared to line up on reiwolt and he didnt kick any goals on him. any goals he got were someone elses fault ie wheatly was manned up on him. yes he had goal assists however, again i dont blame garland as other players should have been accountable for their men. our shining light today imo (even if its about as bright as a small flickering candle).

And this against a team with virtually no backline

if newton can walk he should be playing next week because we are hopeless up there.

Newton won't get a game because he is a one jump wonder, without the where-with-all to match it in this league. Full stop.

Today was as bad as its been all year, including 1st 2 rounds. I don't rate the St's at all .............

Back to ground zero. Better take a break before I start ranting again. :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry:

2 things to ponder: why wasn't Valenti playing - at least he tackles and shows poise.

And Nathan Jones is a real worry for me - I'll post a topic later.

Pity the poor buggers watching this crap later today/night.

Young guys like Valenti should be played for the rest of the season. Wasting time on twilight stars who careers are just about over does nothing to make this club go forward. Game time for the future generation of players should be the priority.

Well in Valenti will be in the squad for the rest of the year now. Even when Jack comes back in (probably this week you would think) Robbo will go on the LTI list...

I don't mind seeing my team loose. I can accept we are in a rebuilding stage. But putting out the performance we put out today is an embarresment. And the football department is an absolute joke - putting Russel Roberson on the field with the injury he had. It was only a corky i know but ffs - it was bad enough to be heavily strapped. Why take the risk? MFC football department needs to pull their head in.

Yes, the football dept should take some caning for today, and the mostly abysmal efforts this year.

Yep, yesterday was the worst of them all, especially considering that the first two were against now top-3 teams. Maybe TD had something to do with it...

Agree.

It's no excuse at all but since the start of 2006 we have played there 5 times during the day. The sun and surface would be quite unsettling if you weren't used to it.

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t

    TURNAROUND by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons won their first game at home this year in the traditional King’s Birthday Weekend clash with Collingwood VFL on Sunday in a dramatic turnaround on recent form that breathed new life into the beleaguered club’s season. The Demons led from the start to record a 52-point victory. It was their highest score and biggest winning margin by far for the 2024 season. Under cloudy but calm conditions for Casey Fields, the home side, wearing the old Springvale guernsey as a mark of res

    POSTGAME: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    Once again inaccuracy and inefficiency going inside 50 rears it's ugly head as the Demons suffered their second loss on the trot and their fourth loss in five games as they go down to the Pies by 38 points on Kings Birthday at the MCG.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    It's Game Day and the Demons are once again faced with a classic 8 point game against a traditional rival on King's Birthday at the MCG. A famous victory will see them reclaim a place in the Top 8 whereas a loss will be another blow for their finals credentials.

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an
