Have been a member for over 10 years now and only in my twenties. Hardly a fairweather supporter. But enoughs enough. Only so much people can take and this is my limit. Too many passengers in this team and it's not good enough.

First game under Roos, have fought the game out, no forward line, 2 players out of game....

Give them time

    And we do need fairweather supporters. We really do. I know im not the only one who didn't just jump on board again this year because of a messiah coach and a practice match win over richmond. Fairweather supporters are exactly what melbourne need right now and a win tonight would have gone a long way in securing that.

    Had a couple but Frawley has been shite tonight. If there's a bad option he'll take it.

    Got shut down pretty well as a response for Q1- expected. Dont think they can keep it up

    Kicked back because of injuries to the forwardine - expected.

    Not the end of the world. Expecting a big last half for us.

    Never have I been so wrong

    First game under Richardson. No midfield, two first round draft picks with no AFL experience? Give who time? Us or them?

    Is it too early to start a 2014 Draft Thread?

    Bring me grey goose vodka.

    NOW.

    Wow that was a terrible game. So many skill errors and we panicked big time!! Had no counter for the Saints extra man and press in defence. We really needed Howe and Fitz to stand up and kick 5 goals between them...

    Just not sure what people were expecting. Unrealistic much?

    Yeah, Salem was shithouse tonight.

    Salem is not ready. Dunstan is. I am sick of these project players.

    We have been woeful for years, the players played the game out. Riewoldt was big for them, put A key forward in for us it would have been different.

    We had more scoring shots, we choked. If you can't see improvement over the crud we have served up over the last few years, you should give up.

    Both teams went hard, something we haven't done for a long time

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

      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?
