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

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

    The Brisbane Lions say hello......

    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.

    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.

    Isn't Fremantle the team that we beat after coming back from more than 50 points behind at half time?

    This one should be an absolute soda!

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      It seems like only yesterday that these two sides faced off against each other in the centre of the continent. It was when Melbourne was experiencing a rare period of success with five wins from its previous six matches including victories over both of last year’s grand finalists.  Well, it wasn’t yesterday but it was early last month and it remains etched clearly in the memory. The Saints were going through a slump and the predicted outcome of their encounter at TIO Traeger Park was a virtual no-brainer. A Melbourne victory and another step closer to a possible rise into finals contention. Something that was unthinkable after opening the season with five straight defeats.

    • 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.
