Not even Gold Coast had 19 scoring shots against them last night.

Who is accountable for this? It is embarrassing and there are players out there that should be better than this.

To not even touch the football? Horrible.

    We are a disgrace, pathetic effort. Put your money down on gold coast getting their first win in 2 weeks. Re coaches and recruiters are responsible for this that's who! Rabble

    Not good at all, it was almost a carbon copy of the pre-season game except Hawthorn played even better... We fell away, had no grit or determination and showed some signs that should seriously worry even the most steadfast believers in Bailey's plan, straight kicking made us look better than we were for 2 quarters. No one expects the dees to win every week, but we want it to happen, and no team will ever win with so few scoring shots and inside 50s...

    although its a losing cause, like to point out that the Spark which awoke the Hawks came courtesy of TWO ridiculous "kick-the-goal-for-them" umpiring decisions... when the call is so bad, no-one ever sees a replay, you know its [censored]!

    Then Jamar gets pinged twice for doing his job against a fn failure of an AFL footballer masquerading in the ruck - Hale & Disgrace!

    Those 2 "gimme-goals" really got the wind up their sails

    But at end of the day - GET A MAN FFS!!!!

    There are players much more capable out there to prevent what happened today. It is damn frustrating. It took a heap of ball for Buddy to start to have an influence and Roughead was held by Rivers but it was just a swamp by Hawthorn that every single player out there touched it.

    The goal from Cameron Bruce, he hardly wanted to know about it until he saw the free space 25 mtrs out. Where were we?

    Why do we continually start every single qtr slowly? It seems we get some confidence from say, a nice snap from Dunn or mark from Jurrah or slicing play from Davey and then a run on starts. How come we NEVER come out from a huddle breathing fire?

    I'm happy to be patient, 35 yrs and watching MFC deliver false promises allows me to be so but I want more from this group than mere stats being trotted out by the coach. The talent there demands it IMO.

    Losses are fine. There needs to be a bigger imprint from those in charge and I don't see it at all.

    Was worse than that, at least one Hawthorn shot was out on the full, we thought it was 3 or 4 but admittedly we were in the GSS

    • 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.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
