I don't think our performance last week was as bad as Essendon's right now against Adelaide.

A little perspective maybe..?

    I don't feel as bad about it but it was still pretty putrid. The best bit is listening to Lloyd have a cry about it.

    Adelaide at AAMI are a totally different beast. Since they've joined the competition they've won 65% of their AAMI matches and 39% elsewhere.

    Theyve played 104% of games?

    Using far too much handball terribly just like we did

    Dont fool yourself as we were beaten badly last week

    This year the scoreboard is the least of our priorities

    playing competivley with the goal to be more consistent at it is what this year is about

    Good football teams dont get smashed like what the Crows did to us or the Bombers

    Do you not think has something to do with the pressure Adelaide are applying and the options they are leaving to the opposition by virtue of the way they set up..?

    Young football teams DO get pumped like we did, from time to time.

    All comes down to how we perform against Essendon. They will come out absolutely pumped but we've seen in the form line that we can beat them. It's sad I'm writing off the saints game already, but the bombers game is a huge opportunity we need to take.

    They've won 65% of games at AAMI - 65 games won for every 100 played

    They've won 39% of games not played at AAMI - 39 games won for every 100 played

    It's about 52% overall

    For the keen observers, they've also won 100% of the games they've won.

    AND, they've lost 100% of the games they've lost.

    That makes 200%!

    Thanks Eth. Didn't think it was that hard to understand.

    The adelaide of the last two weeks is substantially different to that of the first 12 and they will beat a few more teams before the year is out. Melbourne's performance last week, particularly the first half was abysmal- no questions, however people will soon realise that Adelaide aren't as bad as the start of the year indicated.

  • Quote

    Comparing our game to essendons game against the Crows is just making an excuse (again)

    Our Game against adelaide totally stunk and that is the only way to describe it. At 1/4 time-Game over. Shite effort.

    It was shite, but the performance of the bombers also provides some perspective for all the panic merhcants.

    Personally, I didn't enjoy our match against Adelaide, but I'm content with the outcome.

    For the people who aren't good at maths :P

    7 plus 13 also equals 28

    Can't agree with that. Not all the Team is Young-we have many senior players in our current side.

    Opposition sides all have young players too .

    Our Team attitude is not right-10 years of losing on the road & you are content?

    Maybe the players are like that because they know they can get away with it. "oh the supporters won't mind-they are content"

    Interesting thought that....

    • 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.
