thats it Newton is officially the worst player in the AFL

    Newton cannot handle the pressure of top level football. Wona, Robbo, Watts etc. etc. as soon as one of those are available for selection Juice needs to be dropped. His effort is OK, he's just not up to it.

    We just need to stop bombing the ball long and start playing smart patient football - we are getting plenty of the contested ball. Dees need to lift in the last QTR especially for Bartram.

    Did we just win a quarter? This might be the weirdest game I've listened to...

    Thomas said at one point that "Melbourne won't know this, but they have Adelaide if they want 'em."

    The umpires have been crucifying us, particularly in our forward line.

    On one hand I feel for the demons, as they have tried hard, gotten first to the ball, worked hard. It's just our forwards may as well not be playing. I've never heard a forward line with so little likelihood of scoring chances.

    And then when we get a shot or two, we can't kick them from the square... more than once!

    I'm not sure whether or not to be completely [censored] off... I might leave it to those who were at the game. Jaded and others, over to you.

    The thing is, IF, and it's a HUGE if, we could possibly kick the first two goals inside the first 10 minutes of the last quarter we are only 2 goals down!! Wishful thinking after only kicking one goal for the match but we certainly aren't out of the game. But you're right, our forwards haven't had a sniff today, although I guess the weather hasn't helped. It's not like the Crows have kicked 12 goals themselves so it's not just us.

    Sad to say, I think the same can be said of Miller. Big on effort, sadly lacking in execution.

    And they kick the first goal of the last quarter. Game over.

    Back on the bottom. ;)

    The frustrating part about todays game was that we had opportunities but just don't have the polish yet. It will just take time.

    I honestly don't know what to make of this loss. Kicking 4 goals is far from good, although the Crows kicked only 7 and we lost by 17 points. Compare that to last years game where we lost by over 10 goals and it seems we have improved... yet we haven't really.

    Backline stood up well, midfield had a crack and our forward line was terrible. Bate, Newton and Miller all had under 10 touches each and neither of them kicked a goal. That just can't happen.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
