[censored] this, I'm out. Better things to do on a precious weekend than waste my time watching a disgusting effort from a bunch of lazy and incompetent footballers.

The end of this season cannot come quickly enough.

Three quarter time stats:

Disposals: 233-316

Marks: 71-82

Tackles: 58-58

Contested possessions: 84-111

Clearances: 21-37

Inside 50s: 21-47

 

I don't know how many times I've seen Pedersen just jogging around in defence with no urgency at all. Good VFL player, leave him there.

Absolutely nothing to like about this game. Really sickening to watch.

No shining lights at all.


Lynch just spoke how Craig still has a few chances to show he is right for the job. I laughed and then realised the only thing that is keeping me supporting this club is the comedy. Then I felt very sad.

But like a sucker I will be back next week thinking we are a chance.

Byrnes has been SH#T useless player

We might be actually be a chance next week. We're playing GWS.

 

Time to wave the white flag. Someone raid Craigy's sock drawer.

You are kidding? He's far from the worst out there, and has been like that all year. He's used to playing along side champions, he's not a champion himself.

It's as though Norf took the bell out of the ball before the game.


Only able to watch the details as they come through on the AFL site but this seems as bad as any game we've played this year.

We don't need a few mids we need a complete overhaul. Priority pick anyone; and we want our $500k back we don't tank we aren't anywhere near good enough to need to do that.

Call this an oversimplified view of football, but I am pretty sure one of the most basic principles they teach juniors is to man up..? For as many years as I can remember, across numerous coaches, Melbourne have never been able to lock down a team so there are no options. Perhaps if we could bring in a coach from any local under 15s team, get them to teach our boys to defend man on man, perhaps we would be able to put some pressure on teams defensively and create opportunities from turnovers going our way for a change. Would probably save about $950k a year in salary as well...... Just a thought.

This'll get to 100 at this rate.


And let me be the first to give Schwab a big F U for the Darwin rubbish.

This team lacks so much of everything needed to be successful. I just don't know where to start.

Bloody Hell Turnover Toumpas!!!

God I hate listening to Dwayne Russell. And what's worse is that we deserve every bit of his condescension.

We are just awful.


Our skills aren't VFL standard. They're not VFL seconds standard.

We can't make basic kicks. We can't make basic handpasses.

We don't make good choices, so we're making mistakes on bad options.

We go backwards too often. We go sideways too often. We go wide too often.

We carry too many passengers. We have too many up-and-down players. We have too many players whose ceilings aren't high enough.

I [censored] hate the Darwin game, every [censored] year this happens

 

We WILL lose to GWS playing like this. We need to rediscover man on man football and playing on instinct. No point playing on after a mark when the guys down the field are standing still. Too many times we are flat footed. All basic football one would think. Quite fixable.

  • 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.
