Green being used as the 7th defender, but Chaplin follows, so we lose our best forward for nothing.

Don't like Bailey's predicable decision to add a defender when the chips are down. Primus seems to have done his homework on us.

    Yep, that's over-reacting.

    This game is terrible, goes alongside West Coast and North Melbourne as our worst of the year. The margin could yet be our worst for the year. But we've made so many gains this year, to say one game late, with players out, with a young side, on the road, defines our year, is wrong.

    Newton finally does something, but misses the goal.

    15.5.95

    7.11.53

    I think the fact that it's happening late in the year when we should be starting to gel and hitting our straps is what is frustrating. Also the fact that we are showing no heart in a game that was ripe for us to do so.

    Plus, you can wipe 1 maybe 2 games off for the year but when it's at least 3 and they're spread out over the season it's very disheartening.

    Jurrah - recruit of the decade. Better than Swan at 58 in 2001

    No we are second to the footy and cant win a contest

    Nothing to do with the coach

    Just doesn't sound like we are handling the zone or the fact they matched up our loose defender, and doesn't seem like many changes have been made.

    Good sides beat those below them and that's why Collingwood always make the finals they always win these contests. We have to learn to get up for every game not just the Collingwood Grand Finals we play twice a year. We complain about the arrogance of Collingwood when they say that but it's true.

    They are hungrier, which is disgusting given it's Mcdonalds 250th and second last game, we have been unsettled a little re team selections, a few underperforming inclusions and mismatchs in our defensive 50- Frawley has been played up way too far IMO.

    Only positive out of this match has been Jurrah so far..

    I feel for McDonald. He deserved more of an effort from his troops today. Damn Sylvia and Davey would have helped however

    newton's last game

    Getting slammed on SEN for a lack of intensity and no influence on the game. A decent VFL player but rubbish at AFL.

    Spot on. Does this come down to coaching, onfield leadership, or individual players though you think?

    Point is, it's mostly the kids that are trying though... think we are all more disappointed in the senior blokes

    You know you're in trouble when Shultz gets goals.

    Green's put in a second consecutive crap game. 10 disposals and just 1 mark. No coincidence we've lost both games.

    3/4 time

    PA 15.6.96

    Melb 8.11.59

    Edit: Meanwhile totally unrelated, it's not even half time at Etihad, and Brown's got 11 kicks, 3 handpasses, 12 marks and 3 goals 4 behinds.

    Edit: Make that 4.4. 100 DT points in the first half. 200th game. Nice work. Knights is gone.

    Hey, at least we're not Essendon. Crap coach, crap players, losing to Brisbane at home by 43 points

    Not what I am seeing but each to thier own.

    Not coping with thier forward pressure, struggling to win a close in contest anywhere. Zones not influencing this match.

    The Newton experiment is over.

    It never began.

    We tried, he failed. Time to move on.

    This is hands down the most disappointing game of the season. Have we won a single clearance this quarter? Where is Moloney?

    And both Garland and Warnock are getting smashed. Warnock especially, although I am more worried about Garland losing the plot, because Warnock is not part of our future.

    there's a reason why moton, warnock and newton have been in the seconds. the only positive thing about today is it will be newtons last game for the mfc. thank f for that.

    I'm only listening to it, so only going by what I hear, could be totally off the mark. Commentators have talked a bit about the zone etc.

    Another inside 50 to Port, Warnock's out of position again, gives another free kick away (number 3), Schulz will kick his 5th despite maybe pulling his hammy.

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Hawthorn

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.

    • GAMEDAY: Hawthorn

      It’s game day and the Demons are chasing a fourth straight win as we take on the high flying Hawks at the G. After decades of being tormented by the Hawks the Dees will be keen to extend their 7 year dominance over Hawthorn.

    • NON-MFC: Round 09

      Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?
