It's round 17 and we're playing to the level we've played to pretty much all year yet you cry babies seem surprised.

At half time we have had 40 tackles to Port 19

7 more marks

7 more frees

19 more kicks...

27 to 25 i50s

16 to 22 clearances

We are hopeless...
 

Anyone blaming the players for this rubbish needs to remember how many of them were early draft picks based on their natural skills - what has the coaching staff done to change their behaviour?

I'm surprise because we're playing way worse than we did just one quarter ago.

I'm going to go and read the drafting threads. nothing left to see here.

Yeah but bringing more "talented kids" doesn't excite me as much as it used to. I mean, Toumpas Stringer and Wines etc sound great, but so did Trengove in 09, Morton in 07, Sylvia in 03 and so on. I just want to see us get good again.

Keep in mind this isnt so much Demons as B-mans

Jones has been quiet tonight. Blease has done absolutely nothing. I've noticed we've started to use the old Ashton Hams technique of leaning into the opposition tackle and earning bs high free kicks. It's about time. If other teams are doing it, why shouldn't we?

I don't follow your logic. We're winning most of these stats, yet you say we're hopeless. Help me out here.

Well at least there's one coach tonight making the correct decisions.

At least the Bullies are smashin The Boos....

You are an apologist for the players.

There are two reasons for that. A: We can't kick for [censored]. B: We have no-one to kick to.

A is Bailey's fault/the players. B is Neeld's fault/injuries.

Edited by Chook

Love to know what the coach is thinking in setting up our forward line. Directionless.


So what is the state of play with Ports Injuries/rotations?

I feel sorry for those marines if this is the only AFL game they ever see.

Literally any other team would be beating this Port side.

Sloonie..cry babies? Well it might bloody surprise you....some of us have had a shyteful of this. Damn sick of apologists for bad football. Far too many of you types supporting this club.

You are an apologist for the players.

Only a poor tradesman blames his tools Bob - remember, observation!


I dont suppose anyone possibly thinks we might actually be t...........

surely not !!! lol

  • 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.
