I'm trying not to get too abusive towards the team, as I didnt expect a win from this game.

What I'm disgusted with is the lack of effort they are putting in. They're not chasing, not going hard for the ball. this is where our senior players need to step up and bring some intensity with them, and I just dont see it happening.

I understand Bailey is picking and choosing the games he thinks we can, and i dont expect to make finals or even challenge for them. All I want is 100% effort, and I havent seen that today.

we are a [censored] side that has only beaten other [censored] sides.

I'd like to remind you that we're a young bottom 8 side playing a top four side at their home ground - and we're playing interstate where we have a horrible record.

What, you were expecting to thrash them?

Moloney has been on fire for most of the year, have you seen any of our games?

Moloney's probably had five good games and never away from the MCG.

No, but a better effort than this!

Half time.

Terrible half of football. Yet again we're let down by a total lack of leadership, no intensity, no pressure, laziness, no run, and ill-discipline. The kind of things you want to see each and every week, regardless of the 22 selected, the opposition or the ground.

I expected a 10 goal loss, and that will come, but what we all want to see now is a marked improvement in the above areas.

moloney = average player in a below average team

wouldnt get a game in top 4 teams and will struggle in future plans unless he finds consistency

he is an inside mid and cant play anywhere else so if he doesnt find a higher level then scully, trenners, mckenzie, tapscott will go past him. Same with jones

not knocking his clubmanship etc

You don't like Moloney, we get the point!!

I think your being very harsh on him.

Jones you may have a legitimate gripe with, a dissapointing season.

[That was [censored] umpire - simply NOT in the back.

Davey was wrong to dispute but the decision was wrong wrong wrong.

Great comeback Bennell.

That is hardly the point.

It doesn't not matter how [censored] the decision is, you NEVER yell abuse at the umpire. Never, ever, ever.

If Davey is not smart enough to know that, and can't control his emotions, then he shouldn't be playing AFL, and he certainly shouldn't be in the leadership group.

He turned what was a 70% chance for a goal, into a 100% chance for a goal.

Poor Bartram, he's done a good job, only to see his opponent receive the easiest of goals thanks to the poor efforts of his senior leaders.

Oh and WHY IS WATTS IN THE BACKLINE?! :wacko::lol:

The stats are embarrassing. 30-17 inside 50's, 7-0 marks inside 50's, winning the contested possessions. It's all the critical measures which tell you a team is not switched on and able to use the footy. Freo's pressure has been phenomenal, but we are not giving them any of their own medicine back. It's just horrible!

If Moloney is, as you put it "average" I hate to see how you rate other MFC players, I would have him in MFC top 4.

HALF TIME

Fremantle 9.8.62

Melbourne 3.5.23

My best: Bail, Bartram, Frawley, Johnson, Scully

Disappointing first half. Most of their goals have come from frees and mistakes - Cameron Bruce the main antagonist with four frees against. Let's hope that we can bounce back and keep the margin under five goals.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have returned to the site of their drought breaking Premiership to take on the West Coast Eagles in what could very well be a danger game for Narrm at Optus Stadium. A win and a percentage boost will keep the Dees in top four contention whilst a loss will cast doubt on the Dees flag credentials and bring them back to the pack fighting for a spot in the 8 as we fast approach the halfway point of the season.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak

    POSTGAME: Rd 09 vs Carlton

    The Demons were blown out of the water in the first quarter and clawed their way back into the contest but it was a case of too little too late as they lost another close one to Carlton losing by 1 point at the MCG.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 09 vs Carlton

    It's Game Day and the Demons are once again headlining another blockbuster at the MCG to kick off the round of footy.
