Could we witness "186"

probably by half time
 

Does anyone believe me yet that it's the players, not the coach? Dean Bailey, Mark Neeld, Neil Craid, Paul Roos...it's all the same until the players start to lead each other forward.
 

Keep this up for a few more years and we won't have a club.....I know it's bad especially that I don't get upset anymore watching us play like this

'Scared to try' good description cowboy_from_hell

But you know what they say, the harder you try, the dumber you look when you fail. I fear that gets into the Demon's sometimes.

Sigh, there are some moments where we look competent, but it isn't lasting.

I'd rather see Toumpass try to make something happen when he gets the ball on the run in the forward line rather then handball 15 metres backwards and try to set up the perfect kick again.


Cull required next year. Neeld's era set Melbourne back many years and hopefully Roosy can mop up quick.

Spencer and Fitzy don't seem up to the level. Frawley tries and is a hard nut but seems vacant between the ears. Pederson is ordinary at best..........more to come

We need GWS concessions this year to ever be a chance to get off the bottom.

There are 17 clubs that play hard and give a [censored] about their jumper

Then there is the MFC

Why?

There needs to be an investigation into this, and an investigation into why we cant develop our draftees
 

Me thinks our lil botties are going to get spanked the same colours as our jumpers.

Not going to be pretty

Correct it's the players Chook. Roos will change it all around next year and target some of the larger variety to compliment Macdonald and Hogan.

Why are our players not taking their chances? Bernie could have kicked that. Someone take the game by the balls and have a dip. We look scared to try.

We lack confidence and its infectious started last week with the missed shots. Forward structure is a serious issue causing several turnovers and nobody wanting to take the game on. They are a good side but they are flat track bullies and will not get complacent. Both quarters we have been caught napping for 5/10 mins and then been competative. Cant handle these supporters saying the players are not trying theres a big difference in skill errors and lack of endeavour

Not watching, which appears to be a good thing today.

Do we look like we did last year, lacking effort? Or is it more of a skill thing?

What's wrong with Nate Jones?

He get's hit in the head a lot. Not much support or protection from bigger guys.

Complete BS.

Get some more ink done, brother.

Looks like Watts can't be bothered today. Fitzy seems to be able to dive on a pack and that's it. Chippa is having a dip.

I don't know why I am watching this..its just terrible.

Have we been worse.....I don't know...

I've stopped watching and am heading out to the garden, where I should have been all day :mad::mad:

Spencer is up against it. But Jamar wouldn't be much of an improvement and Gawn is unproven.

Our ruck stocks aren't great. Grundy was a big miss for us. That is where Neeld has hurt us.

We paid overs for the Dawes trade and we will continue to pay for that.

 

Eagles have stopped. We are going around in circles.

It has got nothing to do with development, you cannot develop spuds.

When Roos sees his contract out, hopefully this Quality Vs Development debate will be put to rest.

  • 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.

  • PREGAME: West Coast

    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?
