Pathetic embarrassment of a team effort

Goodbye frawley tapscott riley and more

What a gulf

 

Smashed bad in the clearances again. Geelong just waltz it out of the centre all the time. Seriously need some midfielders who can get and use the ball.

I would say even the saints would beat us at the minute

 

The AFL surely can't watch the state of these games and not realise how desperately 4 or 5 teams in this competition are in desperate need of draft concessions to get them off the bottom of the ladder.

GWS/GCS have been disastrous and soaked up all the talent.

Right on the money here...bringing in the new teams has been a disaster for clubs like ours and has meant that Geelong & Hawthorn have been able to prolong their reign at the top.

The AFL will need a major re think. A priority pick will not be the answer, priority picks are what is needed and should have started last year.

Rubbish, he's coming off a broken leg for crying out loud. He's working his ass off out there.


Frawley doesn't care because he's got a deal done long ago and just playing out time.

I'm thinking the youngsters like Viney and JKH are the only ones who will be playing finals at this club. The list is just in too awful a condition.

It's more of a lack of pride, both in the individual performance and the clubs, than the ability of the players in my opinion. All of these guys are capable of better than that but there is no pride out there. Pound for pound the MFC is the worst value sporting organisation in the world. They give absolutely nothing to their supporters whatsover.

We are dead last in the entire competition for points scored. So yeah, we kind of suck. A lot.
 

Been saying that for a while. They should just do it. Go hard for it.

Need more than one 'Redleg'.

Roos will need to sign on for a bit longer as well as Jackson. This is not a quick fix.

Lets sub on the Sesame St characters. Couldn't be any worse.

Agree, Riley has been ok. He's shown some really good signs, a pre season and he will be a keeper.

Was told quite some time back that frawley had already agrees to terms at hawthorn. From a relative of his no less. Didn't believe it but looking at the interest he shows out there each week makes me believe it more each week.

Should play at Casey then.

They would. Currently, we are the worst side in the league.

Just as an aside is this the worst commentary team Channel 7 has ever trotted out.

Basil Zempilas and Tom Harley are the pits.

Add Jobe Watson to that list .

Every second word is 'ahh' .. so bloody irritating!!


A few just not up to it Mc Kensie, Tapscott, Bail, Mc Donald is just a footballer who's decision making is very questionable! Is Grimes playing? I could go on !

Chunk jones looks seriously unimpressed

Roos must get some AFL standard players to this club. Who the hell is going to turn up to Melbourne games in the future?

Far too many years for dee supporters to put up with. Absolute Shyte football team


There will be no future for this club in a few years. Kids nowadays just will not support a team that cannot get off the bottom of the ladder. Probably an entire generation of potential young demons fans has been lost after the last 8 years of rubbish.

Aidan Riley has 11 disposals, 6 clearances and 3 tackles so far

At least he is showing something

In previous years I would've agreed but this has alot more to do with skill than effort. The number of poor to deplorable kicks we have in the side is alarming, and this ugly lockdown style of play just seems to be delaying the inevitable when they have players who can spread, link and execute 10 times better than us as soon as the ball comes free. Most teams are just fitter, stronger and more skillful.

Also, Frawley shouldn't be playing again this year. Disgraceful.

Riley is the least of our problems right now. Whoever said above that he should be delisted doesn't have a clue.

  • 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.

    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.
