    Warnock was awful though, but Morton worse. It has got to the stage where I would be genuinely suprised if he makes it to the level of even being a decent/good player. Anyone who tries to defend his kicking is in dreamland.

    This is worse than 2008 or even 2009. We should be improving or at least showing signs of improvement.

    We've got a game plan that is sh^t and even Tom Harley has said we are the only side in the AFL that play this way, we've got a coach that no one knows if he can coach after nearly 4 years at the helm (IMO is [censored] useless) and we've got players who still manage to miss kick or kick the footy out of bounds on a regular basis. These skills are the most [censored] basic skills in the AFL yet will still cant manage it.

    All of us here love the Dees but we have the same conversations every week about how pathetic we are. The thing that really pisses me off apart from the above is that I am sick to death of having to watch this sh^t every week and hear the same excuses from the coaches.

    Its time for the MFC to make a stand. Show some BALLs and FFS get rid of the coach and stick Viney in there as an interim measure while looking for a new head coach for next season. Viney will bring passion, hardness and accountablility back to the side. Its better than putting up with this sh^t.

    Something needs to happen you can not put in those performances and expect supporters to BLINDLY follow without question. Last time I looked I wasnt a sheep.

    Am I on my own here or is this the general feeling of others?

    yep unfortunately yep... as members and supporters our wait has been way to long for the ultimate success I have seen the demons play in two grand finals in my lifetime and both times they got belted. we need a hard nut coach who wont take the bullcrap.

    u wonder whether it's the system or the player. i reckon it's the system. nice articles today in the paper dean. you talk it up but there's no walk. it's a stumble.

    I know things are bad but it is ridiculous to think that having Jamar, Scully, Trengrove, Grimes, Garland, Tapscott and even Bail (who was in best 22 on form) back in the team wouldn't help.

    Still, don't know what it is with this club. Perpetual losers.

    Could always be worse mate,just thank your deity you don't follow Footscray or St Kilda.At least we have some history,as old as it is,to hang our hats on.Mind you the hat stand is near worn out.

    At least Warnock puts his body on the line and has a real crack. With him in the back line it frees Frawley up to a certain degree and (most of the time) makes our back line look better, more structured.

    That mark he dropped in the first quarter that resulted in a Carlton goal was horrendous though. Deserved the bronx cheers when he took his next mark.

    And kicked out on the full under little pressure that directly led to a goal seconds later. He is a trier, but ultimately isn't up to it.

    Or it would have freed Frawley up, had he not been stuck on a player who he was never going to be able to run off. This deprived us of one of our few attacking weapons - Frawley's purposeful & intelligent runs out of defence - all night.

    I know he has his faults but I still like him in the back line and when the midfield start to pressure the opp midfield then he shouldnt be under as much pressure.

    • 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?
