Its absolute hell following this team......sick of all the tweets by the players.."get on board red and blue army"...make sure youre there!

 

I'm really tired of the hacking in hope. Again and again with no purpose. Just one example of linking up the ground with a bit of flair would dull the pain.
 

Great point made twice now by Tom Harley. It is those players and setups 3 - 7 metres away from the stoppages. Hawthorn continually have 3 players free in a group just off the play and our players are - again - drawn to the contest leaving free opposition players. Are our players not playing to the game plan or is the stoppage instructions poor?
 

Too much emphasis on chasing and tackling the man and not enough on getting the frigging footy. We are always chasing tail and our disposal is still shocking. At least the desire is there but desire alone don't win games consistently. There needs to be some skill. By the way, Mitch Clark will be a superstar, he's better than I thought.


Sylvia and Garland are two of the dumbest footballers I have ever seen. Trengove is injured surely. He's a snail out there.

Mckenzie not the sharpest tool either. Every week he tackles someone who doesn't have the ball.

The Hawks TOY with us every game. So sick of it. PICK UP YOUR MAN AND DON'T ALL JUST DIVE ON THE FOOTY!

We can't string together more than 2 possessions in a row, then they get it and they have 10 blokes completely free.

FFS.


Some careers are over tonight. The evidence is on the grass. Trade month will be big if the MFC is really serious. The midfield is woefull

FACT. They are trying but are not up to it. The defense is under siege.

Not their fault.

This is officially it. I've invested too much time, energy and emotion in this club. I'm not going to do it any more i'm sick of the depression. This will ruin my weekend now. I've just decided I'm not doing it any more.

Hells Bells out!

  • REPORT: West Coast

    On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

  • POSTGAME: West Coast

    Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
