The Demons players need to be given the rest of the year off........ I almost shat my pancreas out from shear rage at the lack of [censored] effort.... There were only a couple of players that deserve half their paycheck the rest should be given a new contract like the lawyers advertise on the tv.... No win, No Fee! Now comrades let us all rejoice in hearing the communist inspired club song!

    Until we get in field leadership! I can't see much turning around.

    That went almost exactly how'd I imagined it would. We never once looked like we thought we could win.

    I'm not even sure I care anymore. It's pretty hard to when you see what the players dish up every week.

    The only hope is we pray for a priority pick and a coach with a win at all costs philosophy. I'm tired of 'process' coaches.

    I am like many on here a very very passionate member but honestly I'm not angry bitter or disappointed much anymore just loosing interest in this football club I've already lost two of my kids to other clubs and my young fella at 3 won't be far behind. That's the sad part that I can't even convince my kids there is any sort of hope

    That's what I worry about. We are going to have no supporters or members from this current generation. We currently have ZERO players that will attract young eyes. When I was young we at least had Lyon and the Ox and Farmer. Who do we have now? Nobody.

    The future is grim. Those wishing for us to fold SHAME ON YOU, but unfortunatley your wish may one day be true! :(

    When you want someone to stand up our players sit back and hope some else does. Team of absolute pretenders, this club is stuffed. They need to move our Freo game to casey, you can't have 4000 at the mcg. No president, no board, no coach, no Players, no major sponsor we are stuffed

    Here's an appraisal of the blokes who took the field today

    N Jones. Only A-grader

    Watts. Glad he hasn't been re-signed

    Toumpas. Dumb

    Viney. A higher level of endeavour than most of the list

    Trengove. Time for a captain who makes a difference

    Byrnes. Hopefully contract up now

    Sylvia. Trade

    Dunn. Dumb

    Garland. Playing injured

    Pederson. Our best backman bar Clisby

    McDonald. A battler who is a keeper

    Grimes. Time for a captain who isn't a turnover king

    Spencer. better ruckman than Gawn

    Kent. Still believes in himself

    Tapscott. A poor draft choice

    Davey. Seen better days

    Gawn. Tryer who can't jump

    Howe. Not contributing in the air or on the ground

    M Jones. Honest toiler

    Terlich. Never gives up

    Fitzpatrick. Good start, wasted opportunities

    Clisby. Our best Could blossom under new coach

    I can only hope this club has enough $$ available from the AFL to make Roos a massive 'overs' offer.

    I would consider Choco as 2nd banana if Roos wont budge.

    But foresaking those 2 i think it's allover red rover for this club now. I doubt it will improve significantly under an Eade reign or anyone similar or lessor. I'm not even that confident Choco could turn this shameful ship wreck around. And i know there's no way PJ can sitting behind his desk.

    Craig has unfortunately proven himself to be a "has been" in the last few uninspiring weeks, both before the game at the selection table and in terms of being unable to motivate the troops to any degree on match day.

    IMHO it's either Roos/Choco or bust. Unless the AFL are happy to keep bailing out a completely irrelevant club for the next decade or more with tens of millions in losses from here over that period.

    The funny thing is that our players look at our club and go "This place is unprofessional. I want out."

    And all the other clubs just look at our players and go "Man are they unprofessional. Why should we pick them up?"

    And anyone who does get picked up goes "Holy crap. I had a good thing going at Melbourne. If only I'd shut my mouth and worked a little harder, I wouldn't be on the verge of getting delisted by Hawthorn/Collingwood/Richmond."

    I can't imagine feeling more despondent than I do right now. Just when I thought things couldn't get any lower, someone drops soiled paper on me and pulls the chain.

    Cant wait for the presser. Will be the most entertaining aspect of todays game by far

    Malthouse sold up Neeld to us. Hope we can sell him Watts.

    Imagine what Freo and Adelaide are going to do to us in a couple of weeks... Not to mention Gold Coast up there next week!

    Grab our ankles, and grit our teeth!!

    CAN SOMEONE TELL ME WHY NATHAN JONES ISN'T OUR CAPTAIN?

    I can't actually comprehend it.

    I'm not sure what boxes you had to "check off" on Neeld's Captaincy check-list, but on my check list:

    guts, loyalty, determination, honour, pride, training dedication, consistency etc.

    He ticks ALL of them and more.

    Craig still believes in the "Two Jacks as Captain" blunder. This situation wont change until a new coach is appointed. And even then i'm not confident he would get it right, unless it's a Roos or Choco appointment.

    IMO the 2 Jacks decision was as damaging to the entire playing group/club as any under the Neeld reign. There were just too many damaging blunders during that period as we have all come to learn.

    This is the blow back from so many blunders and so much ineptness.

    The MFC only has itself to blame.

    If i was the AFL i would change the player contract rules and put every MFC player on a performance based contract. If they don't meet their KPI's over rolling 3 to 6 month periods i'd show them the door and just ring in the changes from Casey or other "special assistance" drafting avenues lol.

    I just watched the 1st half on tv and just looked at the real score. Saves me watching the 2nd half. I just dont care anymore. GWS were expected to win so im not shocked. But I didnt expect to lose by that much.

    Hopefully the media focus on richmond thrashing hawthorn at the moment.

    But geez this season cant end fast enough.

    Ive stopped caring about this so called team.

    By the way at least Neeld has done something that Craig hasnt been able to do. beat GWS. Im not sure Craig will want the job anymore. Why would you want to coach this rabble

    Watts , Howe and Sylvia are just front running show ponies.

    Captains Trengove and Grimes are just ordinary footballers

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
