You know you are in bad shape when Melbourne supporters are calling you irrelevant...

The guy is small fries...

We may lose on Saturday but we will get glory on the last saturday in September before the Kangas.

    Couldn't believe my eyes this morning when reading the hun when there is Brad Scott whining that Melbourne can't use injuries or suspensions as an excuse when they've ( kangaroos ) have had players unavailable all year. What is it with this club ? Just worry about what you're doing Kangaroos and stop worrying about us. Last years whinging was bad enough

    Isn't this a straw man? Have MFC indeed been already making excuses? I haven't heard any.

    Truth is that our team has also had injured players since the start of the year, but rather than use that as an excuse the MFC has blamed those who took to the field for any poor showings. There's a suggestion in Scott's bleating of a very shallow individual who is, in effect, making excuses.

    By God i hope we beat them on saturday....even by a point.

    Our Team is still good enough to do it, without the 4 players, this is how character is built.

    Remember in 1998 we went to Perth and Beat Wet Coke, with a bunch of no names-which then kick started our season.

    We can still win on saturday & the week after......BELIEVE I BELIEVE.

    I also heard a North supporter already making excuses on SEN before, stating they ar missing McIntosh (Goldstein is just as good), Bastinac (young and tries hard but not a star by any means), Greenwood (a battler with average skills).

    I always enjoy people claiming that players are out and costing them team, especially when they are no better than the players who are currently in the team!!!!!!

    Maybe we should whinge because Strauss is out, Campbell is not fit yet and Spencer is out for a year.

    I for one am hoping that we claim glory on the first Saturday in October.

    Won't happen, this year is a one-off. It will go back to Sept from 2012 onwards.

    Well it was at least a four-off if my memory serves me

    I was of the understanding that the bye weeks of 2011 pushed it out.

    Apologies if I am wrong.

    • 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.

      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?
