GAME DAY - Round 2



Recommended Posts

There is no doubt we are losing because we suck but the umpiring is a joke.

Although the frees have been very lopsided I can't really argue with any of them. They are getting more frees because they are putting themselves in positions to win them.

I think we need a rebuild. We are a shambles.

We MUST be tanking again. There's NO WAY a professional AFL coach would let a game go on like this without making ANY positional or strategical changes.

Then again, if that's the case, sack him. Now.

In the back to Trenners - nothing. Poor little Coxy give him a free...pathetic

Lay off the umpires for a while... West Coast put themselves in a position to get the benefit of the doubt, while I soft excuses for players do nothing. Most of the frees have been warranted and as much as I like him, Jones' staging for the free to get his 2nd goal, was a very very poor effort! We simply do not deserve anything better than the free kick count we currently have.

Bennell did nothing......career over i reckon, same as Green.

Jamar still very ordinary... we really are a disgrace.....Port melbourne would beat us.

He seems a bit overawed doesn't he? Tough initiation but not great coaching thus far

Bennell 3 touches and red vested.

Should never ever play senior football again.

It's rebuild time. Bye bye Bennell. Bye bye Batram, bye Mcdonald, bye Rivers, adios Dunn.

Dare I say ta-ta Watts??

Trade Jamar whilst still holds value. Use compo picks on fresh talent, and hope for the best. See you again in another few years!

Yeah that's how I feel, he can talk the talk but he doesn't seem to have great match day tactics... I mean we are almost losing by 100 points and we are still going with the same structures!! And come on Bates should on from the start of the game...

I am a supporter of over 5 decades standing and have staunchly defended this team's performances for a long time now. I have always looked for positives, but after today's phoned in performance, I am starting to believe that I was wrong and that the naysayers are right... I am ready to throw in the towel!!!

    CROSSROADS by The Oracle

    Melbourne stands at the crossroads.  Sunday’s game against the West Coast Eagles who have not met the Demons at the MCG in more than ten years, is a make or break for the club’s finals aspirations.  That proposition is self-evident since every other team the club will be opposed to over the next eight weeks of footy is a prospective 2024 finalist. To add to this perspective is the fact that while the Demons are now in twelfth position on the AFL table, they are only a game and a half b

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi
