The old melbourne still lurks beneath.

We still need a star midfielder who can change a game.

Why not put Garlett in there this quarter, have to do something.

I strongly believe we dont need Dawes to have a solid midfield. let him mentor off the field as he doesnt show anything on the field...When his contract up?

You could tell in the second quarter that this was always on the cards. We just lost all our run. Looked like we were spent and they have rope 'a doped us.

Every time we play these guys they out run us.

Let's see if we can respond this time.

I reckon we've got the capability but if the effort of the third quarter keeps up it'll be a ten goal hiding.

This is just the old Melbourne resurfacing.

The new Melbourne played the first 5.5 quarters of the year, but the last 1.5 it's been a relapse into last year's team. We're slow, we're weak, we're being belted at the contest and on the spread, and we have absolutely no answer to anything the opponent throws at us.

Last week this was all the other way around, even in the first 40 minutes of this game it was too. The fact we can fall away so badly in the space of just one quarter is indicative of how much work we still have to do to climb back.

Seriously who didn't see this coming?

We are so incapable of playing 120 minutes it's just unbelievable. What a bloody waste.

You saw a 9 goal to zip quarter coming?

Head to tab mate. You've got a gift

The Giants just had another gear, we don't have the speed or ability to match.

That would have cut up a lot of AFL sides, hawthorn like nearly.

Roos completely outcoached

Jones very poor.

One thing Malthouse said that made sense last night. Funny the times you are out coached when your team is outclassed.

Maybe we are playing 'Rope a Dope'.

Lets sit back and watch...

well, that was an outstanding quarter of football from gws. their midfield is scary.

I was going to say we were just pathetic, but I think this is more to the point.

Dawes should never have been brought in on the back of a useless Nab challange.

Adds nothing to this side.

Well it's hard to blame Dawes when the midfield is getting smashed....Blame VInce, VIney, Garlett, Kent, Jones Tyson.....Don't blame the forwards

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t

    TURNAROUND by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons won their first game at home this year in the traditional King’s Birthday Weekend clash with Collingwood VFL on Sunday in a dramatic turnaround on recent form that breathed new life into the beleaguered club’s season. The Demons led from the start to record a 52-point victory. It was their highest score and biggest winning margin by far for the 2024 season. Under cloudy but calm conditions for Casey Fields, the home side, wearing the old Springvale guernsey as a mark of res

    POSTGAME: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    Once again inaccuracy and inefficiency going inside 50 rears it's ugly head as the Demons suffered their second loss on the trot and their fourth loss in five games as they go down to the Pies by 38 points on Kings Birthday at the MCG.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    It's Game Day and the Demons are once again faced with a classic 8 point game against a traditional rival on King's Birthday at the MCG. A famous victory will see them reclaim a place in the Top 8 whereas a loss will be another blow for their finals credentials.

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an
