Lazy, pure and simple.

Working out why Collingwood are so good isn't hard. They run hard with and without the ball, they aren't just thinking about getting the ball themselves they think about where they need to be if their teammate gets the ball.

Melbourne don't do any of this. Melbourne are about five goals down for what I would consider a pass mark to this point.

Yeah, haven't seen a great deal of intensity towards the end if that quarter. Step up in the second half dees.

Agreed completely with this, if we brought this lack of intensity and process to any other AFL game we would be beaten.
 

If they say the heat was a factor I simply say they aren't fit enough. They have a two week break now to improve their fitness otherwise they have just been lazy.

How is this in anyway good? Time to form the Bring Back John Northey Action Faction. (It's hard to be patient when we get this tripe served up) 1964 in the Southern Stand seems a long time ago.

Struggling to win the quarter against this mob although hitting the post four times doesn't help!

Good to see Aaron Davey in the goals but how did he miss the one on the siren.

Three Quarter Time

Melbourne 15.14.104

Gold Coast 8.11.59

Live score at Quarter Time in the other game (where a goal umpire's decision was overruled on the say so of a boundary umpire - I hate that!)

Fremantle 5.6.36

North Melbourne 4.3.27

Goodbye Bunnings Warehouse and Creative Gourmet.

West Coast will beat us by 10 goals

Intensity was definately down, was there a stat about them beating us in th contested possession? that cant be good?

No Grunt

No Game Plan

No Nuts

No Mungrel

No Anything

Lucky we are playing a team of kids.

Thank God No Ablet or Brown

They would have overtaken us by now

Bailey has no Clue how to REV up and position a side to beat a team of KIDS

We can still beat them by as much as the dogs, just wait for watts to kick a few :)

We are [censored].

It's simple, we have not improved one bit since last year, actually gone backwards in our skills.

I have been patient with Bailey and what he has had to work with, but I am really struggling to see what he is trying to do, and if he is doing what he wants, it's wrong. And if it's the players not following his instructions then we are in as much trouble.


Ross Oakley was just another corporate w#%nker with a cash register for a heart and a TV for a brain.

Probably still not game to cross over the Westgate to the Western suburbs-long memories out that way

Watts on ... first kick

Who's on second.

Boom, boom ...

Watts Great Mark , a turnover by Watts and GCS Goal

  • REPORT: St. Kilda

    When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

  • CASEY: Sandringham

    The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
    Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

  • PREGAME: West Coast

    The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

    It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
