We are just not intimidating enough.

I noticed Brissie were getting into us at every opportunity.

Watching the Freo Geelong game...Freo did the same to Geelong, they were pushing prodding niggling, absoloutely in the face all nite.

We should have been pumped like men of steel after Jimmys passing, but the only one to show any Grunt was Magner.

Black had so much space in the middle, and we just werent making him earn it.

    Yes we are soft . I have always thought that we never recruit the personality type that is suited to hard committed football

    we seem to prefer good looking model citizens to hungry give me an opportunity at any cost hard cases

    we are now so far away from the right cattle being available it will effectively take another 4 years to turn it around sorry to say

    It is difficult to admit that the last 4 years have been completely wasted in my opinion

    Yes, it is a very bitter pill to swallow but unless yesterday was some sort of one of "shocker" then we are in deep shite. As another poster mentioned, it is possible to make a case for us finishing bottom.

    2010 we had a similar shocker then came out and nearly beat collingwood. Very kneejerk reaction over yesterday. Don't get me wrong i'mm as pee'd off as anyone, but writing players off who have one bad game and labelling players soft is no good.

    We beat Collingwood a few weeks ago and played three shockers since. We always fall in a hole after we put in reasonable games against them. Collingwood games are never a reliable indicator to how we are travelling.

    Your spoton.

    We are. And they did get into Especially Magner at ever opportunity early, & we barely flew the flag.

    Soft.

    • 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.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
