Is there anything he can't do?

I missed the game, but saw we won so I thought I'd better jump on Demonland to see how awful we were.  You guys never fail to disappoint!

OK, that was a hell of a long drive back from the ground.  I was at the scoring end, so missed a lot of what happened at the other end of the ground, including two goals to Watts apparently.  A

We are still one of the dumbest teams in the league.

They were run off their feet at half time and have absolutely run all over us this quarter.

We can't exploit turnovers

We can't transition

We don't get back

We miss targets

And we can't finish teams

 

Only preseason but gee, the exact same issues persist.

McDonald has been bloody awful all game. Absolute momentum killer with every touch.

Lin Jong, another to the list of duds who kill us.

We can't transition because we miss targets.

we can't exploit turnovers because we don't work hard enough 

our skills cost us 5-6 easy goals per game

That was absolutely, god damn terrible.  So [censored] lazy from Harmes.  How many goals have we given them from turnovers?  

Much of their score.

Why is Lin Jong a dud?   from what I can hear on the radio he is BOG at the moment, obviously knows he has to perform to get a game this year

Tom McDonald's turnovers are the direct goal difference in this game. And we've seen it before, so it's not hasty judgement, but he simply cannot be left down back. His disposal coming out of the back 50 is a liability. Time for him to shift forward permanently.

How can professional footballers be unable to find a target by foot 20m out?

the dogs 18yo players have been recruited with foot skills. i.e hewks 

 

When Frawley went to Hawthorn he straight away got a text from Sam Mitchell that said "you need to work on your kicking".

Can Sam Mitchell please send that same message to all Melbourne players.

If we want to take the positives from last week, we have to recognise how ordinary we have been today.

Hopefully VDB hasn't done anything serious, as he is an important player for us.

Tom McDonald...wow...I don't think I've seen a player with a greater discrepancy between his best and worst. On his day, he looks All Australian, on days like today, he is an absolute liability.

    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

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,
