Bartram misses another goal!!! We must find another tagger who can kick.There's no place in AFL if you can't kick,too many missed goals and turnovers.

I'm so bored. Blease is awesome.

Umpires are shizen.

Bring on 2012!

Agree Blease is going to be a ripper. A decent coach will turn that kid into an AA quality player.

What in goodness gracious is going on.

Our fellows appear to be intent on topping their underwhelming efforts of recent weeks.

How will we deploy the "we are too young...just wait and see" excuse if we lose to GCFC?

Gosh I hope the second half is an improvement

This is our worst performance for the year by far.

Agreed. Far, far worse than the Geelong game, where we were within a whisker of breaking our own record for the largest ever loss.

Take it back a couple of years and call it tanking...probably

Good chance of me burning my eyeballs before the game is over.

Wtf, how do we manage to find new ways to fail? Woeful.

If you are that bored being out there, maybe you should reevaluate your career choice, Melbourne players. Ugh!

I'm at the game and Col Garland is having a shocker. Indecisive, doesn't want to kick the ball.

Tom McDonald is doing well as is Sam Blease.

I fear however the game may have passed Brad Green. Looks slow and has dropped a few marks.

Gold coast are troubling us with their speed and work around the ball. Everyone around me is suggesting that Melbourne should start roving the ball.

Hopefully we come out breathing fire in the second half.

This is horrible to watch.......we just make basic skills look so difficult.......can't get and keep control of the ball for ANY period of time.....playing shyte and still in front, amazing!.......please, please let this be the bottom of the mire, gotta b only 1 way 4 us to go now, isn't there???????????

Posted

Sometimes I wonder why I bother showing up when the players obviously don't bother. Lazy and soft players all of them bar maybe one or two (McDonald in his first game and Blease in his 3rd showing more heart than guys who are supposedly "senior" and "experienced" players.

We are 3 years away from being a merely competitive side. Rebuild has not worked and needs to start over.

FFS...we are getting shown up by a bunch of children.

One positive: Jonesy..hold your head high son. Actually doing us proud.

Posted

Gee whiz, I'm not sure if my fragile psyche can cope with a loss (or even a close, stumbling victory) today.

Have we already missed our premiership window....run down by the ultimate "youth" focus.

Posted

9 to 18 inside 50's gold coasts way for the second quarter. That's bloody disgraceful.

Don't know, there's still a half to go! It's a worry!

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the scorching morning heat to bring you the following observations of Wednesday's preseason training session from Gosch's Paddock. HARVEY WALLBANGER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Absent: Salem, Windsor (word is a foot rash going around), Viney, Bowey and Kentfield Train ons: Roy George, no Culley today.

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force as the Demons returned to Gosch's Paddock for preseason training on Wednesday morning. GHOSTWRITER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Kozzie a no show. Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
