I'm not sure what's worse, the umpiring our the telecast. I want to watch footy, not the crowd.

 

That's not holding the ball. He never tackled garland, just touched him...
 

I was just typing a post about how lucky we are to have Garland.

*eats words

*spews blood

Garland decision - it can only be incorrect disposal if you tackle - not if you knock your opponent - wrong friggin decision


5 goals from free kicks now?

The commentators on 3AW get really excited when Port get a goal but couldn't be less interested when we get one.

They really do hate us don't they?

He should never have got within 15 feet of him. Just bad decision making.

Just a little rebuilding over the summer..

Shopping list:

A Defence

A Midfield

An effective forward setup..

oh

Some coaches that can kick some arse

not far off a decent side really :rolleyes:


Has Bate started at every centre bounce this quarter? (and most of the 3rd too?)

Poll: Do our players get an end of season trip???

Add a Captain to that shopping list. Green was friggin useless today. We'd have done better had we played Green as a Sub and had Tappy on all day.

I can't watch this crap anymore.


What a disgusting effort. Brad Green has been rubbish this year and has had the greatest opportunity to end on a high note. Despite the result of the game meaning nothing, his game today has been pathetic. If he is captain next year I'll be sick.

This is without a doubt as low as I have ever felt being a Melbourne supporter.

I wanted this season to end, now I don't want 2012 to start.

We are hopeless, our midfield is actually so bad we are uncompetitive for long periods of the match, and our forwardline is all at sea.

Our players just sh*t themselves the minute the pressure is on. Absolutely horrendous.

No idea where the motivation to keep up this level of dedication is going to come from, when we just keep throwing up this sort of rubbish week in week out.

Awful loss, awful club.

dropping the ball is dropping the ball.. Simply should have kicked it,,,not that hard !!

My expectations for next year are bottom 4 thus club is too used of losing and we have a list of average at best players

More "throwing" decisions out of tackles than for a very long time...

DELIBERATE?!>!?! Just appalling that within 15 years kicking for touch has gone from getting a standing ovation to costing a free kick.

 

Umps are even worse than we are. Jones kicks along the line under pressure and gets pinged for deliberate? Where the hell else was he supposed to go?

Geez weve missed Bail !!

  • 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?
