    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.

    Bennell is PLaying very well. I am liking his game. He will enjoy the space of Subi. Hopefully we can give him more oppportunities

    No, but a better effort than this!

    Yeah thats why he has the most disposals for the club, by 40 to. Try again mate

    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

    Not sure it is effort as much as our huge number of turnovers. Freo giving us a lesson as to how to create pressure in modern football.

    got the feeling we shall just look to next week and write this one off

    no doubt players will get some cheapies in the second half

    well done to our backline for tryin, hard against the free ball comin in

    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.

    Time for the comeback of 2010.... docker-style...

    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.

    • 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.
