Today's loss was shocking....

Go and live their mate, please. I believe the dollar is good as well.

Nah not even interested in traveling there but the country does have some redeeming qualities, NFL being one, southern blues being another.

One thing I will never come to grips with is how a nil all draw is a "good" result.

Because it's a game that puts an emphasis on defence. Good defending should be appreciated just as much as good attacking play and is in fact more important. Same philosophy to why Melbourne is chasing Ross Lyon.

If you can keep a clean sheet you always give yourself a chance to win the game. And it's pretty hard to get beaten if you don't concede a goal!

Of course a 0-0 can be a good scoreline. If Fulham play away to Chelsea and get a 0-0, it's a fantastic result for them.

If I said to you Melbourne drew a low scoring game with Geelong, you'd be thinking it was a great result too.

0-0 is not always about failing to score, it is also about preventing the other team from scoring.

Sorta like having a glass 50% full of Kool-Aid and saying it is neither half full nor half empty but I'll drink it anyway

What ever floats your boat

Nah it's not like that at all. Terrible analogy.

I thought the loss was just terrible. People keep finding positives. I am so sick of always trying to find positives in loses. We've been losing for 50 years.

Tell me about, it a loss is a loss is a loss

0-0 after 90 minutes plus extra time promotes violence in the streets later on i can assure you.

I can watch the odd game of soccer, but i thank the God of chance quite regularly for allowing me to be born in the city of Melbourne, just so i could grow up with the greatest game of all....Australian Football.

  • GAMEDAY: St. Kilda

    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?

  • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

    It seems like only yesterday that these two sides faced off against each other in the centre of the continent. It was when Melbourne was experiencing a rare period of success with five wins from its previous six matches including victories over both of last year’s grand finalists.  Well, it wasn’t yesterday but it was early last month and it remains etched clearly in the memory. The Saints were going through a slump and the predicted outcome of their encounter at TIO Traeger Park was a virtual no-brainer. A Melbourne victory and another step closer to a possible rise into finals contention. Something that was unthinkable after opening the season with five straight defeats.

  • REPORT: Carlton

    I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

  • CASEY: Carlton

    The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.
