Game Day - LIVE

Just want to know where the pride is. They gave up in the last.

Playing for your season. playing for Seam Wright. playing for your place in the team.

Everything to play for and we get this performance.

Part and parcel of being a Melbourne supporter

And part and parcel for accepting these efforts year after year? I feel your pain.

One positive Jack Trengove what a player he is

We're all in this together.

We love this club but we can dislike the way things are going this season.

Gees it's frustrating stuff being a Demon fan. Those old timers had it made the 1950s/60s must have been like a dream.

I just want to see one Premiership before I die? Is it that much to ask for they've got about 50 years to do it in but...

We're feeling the hurt the same way the Tiogs fans were last week.

Worst loss for the year, doggies wern't exactly swimming in confidence and we had close to our best team out there. The game plan at Etihad seems to be "handball, handball, handball", we did this v kangas and we did it v saints, it isn't bloody working!!!!

As bad as we were the game was over earlier than it should've been, I counted MINIMUM 4 goals directly gifted to the doggies, one of the worst dispays I've seen this year. We would've lost anyway the way we played, but goals change the complexion of the game, an 18 point deficit looks a hell of a lot easier to claw back than a 5 goal deficit.

I try to limit the amount of times I leave a game early, this time I could not stand any more of it. I've always said finals wasn't my end goal this year, looks like I don't have to worry about it.

Why did we even turn up today? We clearly had no desire to win even though we had everything to play for.

And please Bailey learn to coach against a team who pressures the ball carrier, because any idiot can win against soft teams.

Absolutely unacceptable rubbish today. Shameful.

[desertfox 9]

We played like a bunch of chumps tonight and it showed.

My only consolation is that we're such a yo-yo team this year that we'll probably spank Port by 10 goals.

one step closer to bailey going which some may not agree with but its the way forward

The Dogs had bigger bodies and played disciplined footy.

Picken didn't let Scully breathe.

Boyd was as strong as Moloney and stopped his clearance work

Hudson was just as strong as Jamar and too strong for Martin

Hill and Ward scared the crap out of Gysberts by going hard.

Nuff said

No disrespect intended desertfox, just for the record, the 50s and 60s were not a dream. History shows that the team varied considerably during our most successful decade - players even went home to the farm for a year! The constant was a brilliant coach with a disciplined, structured approach - that's what we need now, and the present coach is not the answer! It is well past the time to move on!

BTW, why has Jurrah stopped going for his marks? FD instructions?

Can't argue with you there, you make a lot of sense.

The 3 word player analysis ought to be a doozey...
