Am not impressed with effort, skill level or anything about our performance to be honest, but at the same time, I think some of you are getting a little carried away. Just last game you would have been singing our praises, a little perspective required.

That's the point though... We know the young blokes will be up and down but we back them and stand by them cos the endeavor is there and the footy knowledge is coming, but guys like Bruce, Miller, and even Green the last 2 weeks, should be leading the way.

 

We are still in with a chance of another spoon at this rate, only one win in the last 8 games. Aand st kilda next week.

Mark my words.

Tigers and Crows will overtake us, maybe even Eagles.

We will finish bottom 2 this year again no worries.

 

How many times are we going to put ourselves under pressure in the Backline? Why would you kick the ball backwards to a player under pressure on the goal line. This is one of the worst performances I've seen from a Melbourne side for 10 years, we are being humiliated. The players can't hold their feet, Watts being one and he looks like he is going to be a fringe player at best he just can't get rid of the ball quickly enough he has all the awareness of Bell and is one of the most disappointing number one draft picks I have ever seen. I've been patient with him but no more he has to show something but so far there is nothing that makes me excited.

Jones has to learn, preferably at Casey, that you don't have to take the hard option every time and you can run forward with the ball or at least pass it off before you get tackled. We have also shown that if Jamar gets beaten we are in big trouble.

Davey, Beamer, Green, Morton, Bruce, Miller it's time to step up or wear the tag of soft under pressure deservedly.

Personally if I was coaching I would have kept them on the ground at half time and said one thing, think about your pathetic effort in the first half all of you. That would be embarrassing to them as they were laughed at by the Crows fans. It might be a message well learnt.

Even at half time I'm sure they'd find ways to turn it over :rolleyes:

Probably, but as the clearances show they only get it 4 out of every 25 times.

 

Is it just me or is Dwayne Russell the commentator such a moron 'we have a game again!' sheesh


Rivers not even a shadow of his former self.

Footballs equivelant to a one hit wonder. ( one season wonder)

lol we're making Adelaide actually look like a good team.

DEES BOOT THE LAST 3!

We're 33 points down...

Edited by wisedog

Back to 33 points :D

Davey continues to prove why he is just not up to scratch to be out captain. We cannot have a captain that can't shake a tag. Continues to go missing when we need it, and has brain snaps too often.

"Trengove does the ruckwork for Melbourne"

:blink:


Damn it, my stream is dead.

Anyone have a link to a stream for the game?

 

might just tune out til the 3rd quarter when we play well for 20 mins before eventually losing the same way again...

hmmmmm......

  • 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.
