Our second quarter was below VFL standard today, it was as bad as any we had last year under Neeld.

We just sat back and spectated as they brushed us aside.

Take that out and we win the game, but football is a four quarter game not 2 or 3 or two and a half, it was embarrassing.

    If you genuinely do not think there are any positives, just give up and leave us all alone WYL. Seriously.

    2nd Q was below AFL standard. Enough said.

    Game over. TU can rant all he likes.

    Yes, true. But his opinion is often pure negativity without any basis on what's going on with the club.

    Ha! I'm the one 'ranting' when you won't even consider the myriad positives this season is delivering?

    The 2nd Quarter killed any positives. That is the reality.

    This time last year the game would have been over 10min into the 3rd by them kicking 10 unanswered goals. The fact that we never gave up and fought hard up until the final siren is a step in the right direction in my book.

    I actually watched the hole game for a change without being frustrated that they gave up to easily which is all a asked from the boys this season.

    Honestly, what were your expectations for this year? Considering where we are coming from I expected pretty much what we are getting.

    Slow but steady improvement, which is what we are getting.

    Remember our first five games last year............

    That 2nd term was Ablett conscience nonsense.

    The rest was good. Our brand of footy ain't pretty but effective.

    28 I50s to 20 after half time. We are getting there. Too bad Tyson was down and McDonald out played.

    Could have won that.

    No, that is not the reality.

    The reality is we are not giving up in games that, in 2013, we would have.

    The reality is that we are far more competitive in the middle than we have been of late.

    The reality is we are restricting team's scores a lot more than we have been able to in the past.

    The reality is that we are coming from such a low position that being in the game with Gold Coast is, right now, an improvement for us.

    Yes. But all that gets thrown down the bog with a 2nd Quarter that was put in today.

    Watch it again.

    There is no excuse for the majority of the side to be in that mindset.

    Chance to win 2 in a row thrown away in 30 minutes of standing around.

    That is the reality

    So should Paul Roos and co just throw up their hands and say "Got nothing for you" when the players ask what they did right?

  • Quote

    That was quick.

    Should have been a free to Jack. His opponent was holding him when he was no where near the ball. He just grabbed him and slung him out of the way. There USED to be a 'holding the man' rule.

    You think the players have attitude issues, yet you refuse to acknowledge positives when they're staring you in the face.

    Classic.

    Poor form

    edit: from you

    it was a horrible comment and deemotivated should be ashamed

  • Quote

    I really think that video is a bit unfair and a disgrace from us supporters.

    He was really bad today, Watts, but that passage of play isn't that bad and it would have happened to 15 others today.

    At least he laid a tackle today! We had 5 players notch up a big fat 0 in the T column. People give it to Watts partly because he deserves it, but partly because they're biased. He was not the only player today to play poorly, so why is he the only one to get shamed on YouTube?

    with you on this one, get sick of the 'supporters' on this site continually getting stuck into certain players,, frickin' douchbags the lot of them

  • Quote

    The "skills" exhibited by Melbourne players was shocking. Continual handballing to players under pressure, poor kicking and dropped marks. GC's skills were much better.

    Watts' "tackling" was pitiful.

    I also thought that the forward line was way too top heavy.

    I'm normally not a fan of Pederson, but I thought he was far from our worst today. Bail was invisible.

    Until such time that the Melbourne players warrant my attention, I will devote my interest to anything else besides the club. Bring on the game tomorrow, that will be another classic!

    Oh, that'll be a shame that we wont get to read your pearls of wisdom, including you talking about your vomit and telling Frawley to leave the club.

    • GAMEDAY: Richmond

      It's Game Day and the Demons return to the MCG to face the Tigers in their annual Blockbuster on ANZAC Eve for the 10th time. The Dees will be desperate to reignite their stuttering 2025 campaign and claim just their second win of the season. Can the Demons dig deep and find that ANZAC Spirit to snatch back to back wins?

    • PREVIEW: Richmond

      A few years ago, the Melbourne Football Club produced a documentary about the decade in which it rose from its dystopic purgatory of regular thrashings to the euphoria of a premiership victory. That entire period could have been compressed in a fast motion version of the 2025 season to date as the Demons went from embarrassing basket case to glorious winner in an unexpected victory over the Dockers last Saturday. They transformed in a single week from a team that put in a pedestrian effort of predictably kicking the ball long down the line into attack that made a very ordinary Bombers outfit look like worldbeaters into a slick, fast moving side with urgency and a willingness to handball and create play with shorter kicks and by changing angles to generate an element of chaos that yielded six goals in each of the opening quarters against Freo.

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?
