Need to hold them this quarter.
 

Okay, now this is a worry


will Daniel Cross play on next year?

yes, but he should be pushed out of the side by someone like riley

he does so many good things but continually butchers the football week in week out

It's not the fact we are losing, it is how poorly we are playing.

Does not event look like we are trying to win, just minimise damage.[/quote

You highlight the point I was making previous. We only care about being defensive.

 

Grimes no pressure at all. Misses. Good grief.


It's clear to me now that Paul Roos' only concern is keeping our percentage respectable, and this is rubbing off on our players. They have no true desire to win, and are not being given the coaching tools to do so.

Captain's point


We only stayed in games by kicking note efficiently that opposition... We are really failing at that since the bye.

you could never question the effort of grimes, but my god the blood pressure goes up when he has the ball

What a destructive tackle by Riley. #27 is Riley, right?

please tell me the player he tackled is out of the game, we need that

Watch Nathan Jones go back and nail this.

EDIT: I guess not...

Edited by Chook

We are virtually unwatchable , even in victory.

We're having our pants pulled down by a bunch

Of blokes with other things on there mind.

We are a disgrace.

  • PREVIEW: West Coast

    It was bad enough that the Melbourne Football Club created yet another humiliating scenario inside its wretched season at Marvel Stadium last Sunday, but the final insult is that it has been commanded to return to the scene of the crime to inflict further punishment on its fans this week. Incidentally, if this match preview, of a game that promises to be one of the most unattractive fixtures in the history of the game, happens to cut out of your computer screen three quarters of the way through, it’s no coincidence. I’ll be mirroring the Demons’ lacklustre effort against St Kilda from last Sunday when they conceded the largest last quarter turnaround for victory in the history of the game.

  • 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.
