If you're happy with that first half effort then I bet you're lobbying hard for Neeld to be our coach next year.

You've found me out, stu. I'm getting the campaign rolling as we speak, starting with a facebook page.

People having a go at any of our forwards should suspend themselves from posting for at least the rest of the day. Essentially the whole game has been played in their half.

We should be more worried about the fact we have barely made any adjustments to our style despite the weather. Unbelievable.

Only two less contested disposals, 17 less overall and 100 tackles.

All three of these areas we would be significantly behind opposition sides in the first half of the year. Need to clean up turnovers and improve our ball use around half forward going forward.

Trengove is not a captain and a very ordinary player since the sling tackle.

He is sitting third in our disposal count. Yeah he isn't Joel Selwood but he hasn't had a horrid day compared to everyone else out there.

Don't think you can read too much into stats today given the conditions and the efficiency of our opponents.

Been disappointed with Neil Craig today, very few adjustments, poor setup, no attack, and the effort in the first half was quite poor.

Especially when they don't back up your arguments.

I said I'd be ok with a 10 goal loss. We just went over that.

We'd have lost by twice as much under Neeld.

This is the toughest game most teams play all year. That we have to do it in Geelong every year is a downright disgrace.

We fought, we lost, we move on.

I've seen worse. Much much worse.

You would see two VERY different games today if you were choosing between watching the game and watching the stats.

It must be that everyone is watching the stats except you, eh Stu?

I really am tired of [censored] commentators mocking this club. Laughing at the stats.

Had the tele on mute since half time.

A tense last few minutes though.

I had a carton bet with a mate that we'd keep the Cats under 100 points.

Time to blow the froth off one.

If there's one person in the whole league that I cannot wait to see the back of, it's Johnson. Smug pr*ck.

He attacks the ball....he can be smug!

Selwood - 124 wins from 150 games.

Sylvia - 150 games...how many wins?

We officially hold the record for the least inside 50's ever. 19 we had today for the whole game. No wonder our forwards couldnt get it.

Anyway we lost to a formidable team and a team like geelong should thrash a team like us. At least it wasnt 100 points.

    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
