Cheap Seats
in Melbourne Demons

Featured Replies

I walked away from my seat just before halftime last week. I had to regain my equilibrium somehow so i blotted out of my mind the scenes I was watching a minute earlier.I walked past a rubbish bin and half hanging out of it was a Melbourne FC lanyard which I presume was attached to a membership ticket. I tipped the whole thing in the bin because the sight of the bloody thing tossed away but partly visible like that was too much to bear. Frankly it was the tipping point in a. hoorible day

    The bin was choking on it, trying to cough it up.

    Well they can't move the whole team on...

    Jones, Watts, Grimes, Garland, Dunn should all be put up for trade. It should be a KPI for Roos and the list management team to trade all of them. Their ineffectiveness during a match drives the rest of the team.

    I seriously think a team led by Vince, Brayshaw, Hogan, VB, Petracca, McDonald, Salem is infinitely more attractive than the current boys club from the Bailey and Daniher years. Look at the Bulldogs.

    Seriously, if there aren't major changes and legitimate talent brought in, then you have to question the viability of the club has a whole if it can't attract players.

    The players that are still with us that were at the club in 2011, the year of the 186 loss to Geelong, should be considered for trade.

    Here are the 14:

    N. Jones

    *Watts

    Trengrove

    Dunne

    *Grimes

    *Garland

    Gawn

    *Howe

    Jetta

    **Jarmar

    *Spencer

    *Bail

    Fitzpatrick

    T. McDonald

    * may have trade value

    ** may not have much if any

    All others in bold print should be persevered with IMHO

    Lou, seriously what has a loss to Geelong in 2011 got to do with players we keep next year. It is as ludicrous as Geelong saying they will hang onto every player that played in that same game.

    Judge players on what they have done and can do. Not in whether they played in a game 5 years ago.

    Nothing has changed in 5 years.

    It just so happens that these players (marked with an asterix) are the ones that continuously play and let us down when the chips are down.

    Coincidently they are from that era, Is there a connection? Maybe ,maybe not!

    Mongrel, I wish you'd change your avatar. Every time I see it I think I'm about to read a BBO post. Most disconcerting.

    Yes Dee-vina, I imagine it must be a terrible let down to be trembling in anticipation of unwrapping one of my literary gems only to be disappointed at the denouement.

    Lacking vision with this post, unless of course you're being facetious.

    Nope, so we beat a few reasonable teams for the first time in years. It would have to happen sooner rather than later

    Completely nullified by losses to Carlton and Essendon.

    Same old shite.

    • WHAT’S NEXT? by The Oracle

      What’s next for a beleagured Melbourne Football Club down in form and confidence, facing  intense criticism and disapproval over some underwhelming recent performances and in the midst of a four game losing streak? Why, it’s Adelaide which boasts the best percentage in the AFL and has won six of its last seven games. The Crows are hot and not only that, the game is at the Adelaide Oval; yet another away fixture and the third in a row at a venue outside of Victoria. One of the problems the Demons have these days is that they rarely have the luxury of true home ground advantage, something they have enjoyed just once since mid April.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.
