A quick review of the tape and move on, better off to forget today. A few tired looking boys and lessons learnt. The team of old would have been belted to the tune of 10-15 goals

Vince outstanding, Cross good, Jamar good in the ruck, Dunn, Jetta, Tyson & Pederson all providing good strong effort whilst not being great.

    North: the team of stagers, divers and divas. Good to see Kent give that dumbass ump a serve for that idiotic ducking free kick paid against him.

    Of course, umps are so blind they fall for their Oscar worthy performances week in, week out. Fortunately you can't act your way into a premiership, which they'll never get close to.

    Oh how I'd love to win today just to get them out of the top 8, yet the result would be Essendon moving to 8th place. What a miserable conundrum.

    Is that the same Kent that gave the Idiotic handball only seconds before?

    So instead of going fast and hard into our 50 when we have possession, we chip it around the edge and hold possession until North have totally flooded our goal square with players, THEN kick it in with hope we'll mark it. Forced stoppage, then Roos clear it out and run away.

    Seriously, WHAT IS THE POINT? We do this over and over.

    Kent, like the whole team (apologies Bernie), have been awful today.

    That missed goal a few moments ago was equally braindead. He had multiple clean options but he kicked for goal beyond 50 and went out of bounds.

    Chill. It's a game and I've seen far worse than this.

    Such a weak effort from our team. They give hope then just fail badly. Third quarter was deplorable. Please do not accept this effort. We must back up and win consecutive games to be considered a team that others have respect for.

    Don't you hate it when the commentators stop commentating and instead spend the last quarter of the game talking about the draw for the team that is beating you?

    I reckon give Sam Blease a couple of weeks off half back and hopefully he becomes what Shaun Atley is for the Roos

    Won the last quarter against a team that smashed us by well over 100 points last time. Let's get real.

    Wish they would shut up about the video review!

    We need players to be able to take the game on and we need a forward structure that means they always have options (who aren't out-numbered) up ahead to kick to when said player takes the game on.

    • 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.
