I was expecting to get beaten but, it would be nice to see the ball in our forward fifty more than on the odd occasion.

Bennell doing ok.

Davey :wacko:

Bartram must be filthy on some of his team mates.

If i didnt know beter Id say it was tanking 2010 syle...bt of course thats absurd... its simply a shite performance by many who ought tobe ashamed to today..bloody ashamed.

Whilst the coach cant go out and play he needs to give many a might big razz and do some serious reshuffling and dropping of supposed players to remind them why they are wearing that jumper

just not good enough

Lesson's, how many lesson's do we need? It's the same old. I agree I didn't expect Melb to win, but come on. We have had enough lessons in the last two and a half seasons. We were top on tackles after RD 3. There has been NO improvement over the season AS A TEAM. Better 2nd half is on the way. Bring it back to 2 - 3 goals. Well done again Sculls!

Fair call. I hear your pain (and experiencing it myself!). I guess my point was that we are still a long way off the pace and our patience going to be tested for at least another year or two methinks!

Pressure - Nope

Run - Nope

Skills - Nope

When we don't have any of the 3 we get smashed.

Games like this highlight my belief they we desperately need to get more pace and skill into the side regardless of what the short term result is.

Also Freo's drafting and player development is just unreal and so much better than ours. That's an absolute fact.

No, not at all. This is not the coaches fault whatsoever.

I disagree with every inch of my body. It IS the coach's fault. We have a lazy and inconsistent culture that has plagued us for decades. These kids have a 2 year window to learn to be ruthless and not to accept defeat easily. Instead, I see a bunch of saps lying down because it's all just a bit hard, and 'we never win here anyway'. Pathetic.

Just looking through the fixture, we may not win another game this year. No chance next week for sure.

Relax Dane. We will win at least one more game for the year. Sydney, Richmond or North at the G. Plus I would love to beat Hawthorn as pay back for RD 1.

    CROSSROADS by The Oracle

    Melbourne stands at the crossroads.  Sunday’s game against the West Coast Eagles who have not met the Demons at the MCG in more than ten years, is a make or break for the club’s finals aspirations.  That proposition is self-evident since every other team the club will be opposed to over the next eight weeks of footy is a prospective 2024 finalist. To add to this perspective is the fact that while the Demons are now in twelfth position on the AFL table, they are only a game and a half b

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    The Demons once again went goalless in the last quarter and were run down by the Lions at the Gabba in the final minutes of the match ultimately losing the game by 5 points as their percentage dips below 100 for the first time since 2020.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi
