For the first time ever, I've had an absolute gutfull of Trengove. I'm a fan, but he is in struggle town.

And Dawes us having a shocker. Letting his opponent get to him.

I totally agree with you Jaded, he is a shadow of the young fellow we drafted. He done nothing but turn the ball over tonight.

Dunn would have to be the worst player to ever wear the jumper!!

    We don't have any accumulators.

    That's the difference. Blokes who can rack up 30+ touches. Run hard, link up, kick the ball Ok, be involved.

    2 of those and we'll have 40 extra disposals a week, which will go a long way to closing the gap in possession and making us more competitive.

    Fitzy , poor game, 4 goals.

    The sort of performances we need from players having a tough day.

    This is the most disappointing performance since that [censored] of a coach left.

    Are you for real?

    Shocking decision. No more deliberate than half of the oobs tonight.

    Matt Jones has been good.

    Game over. Poor quality game and hopefully Garland's injury isn't too bad.

    Anybody would think we were 100 points down going by the comments...... Trengove, watts and fitzy are our highest dreamteam point scorers and Viney has the most possession for us..... 14 points down.... I reckon thats about we're we are at....

    He's not a play maker.

    It's the poorest midfield performance we have had under Craig. Defensively we have been crap, and against a weak opponent.

    Plus poor returns from a lot of players. This game may be a financial win, but its costing us physically.

    He's so weak overhead it's embarrassing.

    why cant dawes catch the ball is his eyesight bad very poor

    Why is it other teams can find space and Melbourne cannot

    Fitz would have to be ahead of Dawes as a player, sure dawes has leadership, but we can only have so many tall forwards and if clark is alright to play next year, Dawes might find it pretty tough

    you're right but he is clean and uses it well compared to the rest of our mids. I think he is one who will benefit from better midfielders around him.

    If our disposal skills weren't at the level of under 14's, we would have been all over them. Bloody annoying.

    I don't disagree. I'm not really sure what Dawes gives us. A false target.

    Because their spread is half arsed as is their disposal.

    Harsh marker.

    A lot of trash talk on here tonight! Playing footy in. 95% humidity doesn't assist in marking the ball overhead.

    We have been ok tonight, a good comeback game from last week...

    Reality.

    • GAMEDAY: St. Kilda

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      It seems like only yesterday that these two sides faced off against each other in the centre of the continent. It was when Melbourne was experiencing a rare period of success with five wins from its previous six matches including victories over both of last year’s grand finalists.  Well, it wasn’t yesterday but it was early last month and it remains etched clearly in the memory. The Saints were going through a slump and the predicted outcome of their encounter at TIO Traeger Park was a virtual no-brainer. A Melbourne victory and another step closer to a possible rise into finals contention. Something that was unthinkable after opening the season with five straight defeats.

    • 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.
