Was tonights game (North v Doggies) a comedy of errors or what?

I have never seen so many unforced turnovers in 1 game ever. They won't be up there for long bringing this rubbish  time for us to swoop?

    YES.

    People on here talking about winning 5 in a row, players talking about finals, the over-hyping of Truck's debut. Spelled trouble from the start. Excuses will include a short turnaround, inexperience, Etihad, blah, blah, blah, but again its COMPLACENCY. It's time to grow up and pull the proverbial head out of the backside. So, so disappointing but all too familiar.

    Too tall. One of frost or.pedo needed to not play. 

    Won't be hard to drop players this week.

    Sack Roos. Drop T Mac to make a statement. Retire Dunn. Banish Kent, Hunt and Wagner. Get a new group of selectors. Encourage the Prince to pursue a political career.

    I said pre-game this had a loss written all over it, but the recent Melbourne had me believe it wouldn't be the same.

    Unfortunately, I've been let down. Again.

    Really, really disappointed.

    I've never seen so many goals kicked with 3,4,5 forwards on 1 defender. I'm not sure whether there's something wrong with the plan or the application. I reckon it's probably the latter. 

    Hopefully the boys bounce back next week.

    Aside from Jones, Viney and Hogan, not a single other player has won his position.

    Doesn't surprise me too much. We still are amazingly immature.
    Note to MFC and it's players: the next time you win a game (consecutive games), shut the hell up and just play.

    What the [censored] happens in the space of 5 days that turns our small forwards to rubbish? Was this coaching from Richo?! I don't get it at all.

    If they were tired with the short break, something plenty of posters here raised during the week, how the hell did the selectors not see fit to make changes? Wagner and Hunt were never going to keep up great form for extended patches, adding a zero gamer to that list was a disaster in the end.

    We desperately needed Oliver and, frankly, he deserved a spot in the team more than Petracca (as did several others, to be honest). If Petracca got given his first game because we wanted to attract a larger crowd to Shitihad, it was a shameful decision.

    This is what JV is quoted as having said;  "If we can keep the team consistently performing how we are, I don't think it's unrealistic we find ourselves in finals at the end of the year."

    Please read and disagree directly with this statement before citing Jack's comments as contributing to this loss.

    Sam Frost is special, and not in a good way.

    Like a baby giraffe. And also not in a good way. 

    Pedersen is that much more useful it's a joke. Can't play them both. 

    Also Wagner, Hunt, Harmes, Bugg, Kennedy, Petracca... Way too many too inexperienced and/or NQRs in the one team for me. It's bad enough we need to put up with Roos' favourite Lumumba every week, and the yo-yoing performances of Tyson, McDonald, Salem and Kent.

    I haven't been able to watch the game today and suspect I won't, but on the basic stats alone I suspect it won't be too hard to find room for ANB, Brayshaw, Oliver and/or Trengove.

    Kent's had 8 touches after 25 last week and 21 the week before. Has Frost touched the ball since quarter time?

    I find it difficult to fathom how we could be getting ahead of ourselves merely a month after the Essendon debacle.

    I also don't want to let myself believe that we debuted Petracca earlier than his form warranted because we wanted to pull a crowd to a home game. That's the MFC of 2009, should not be the MFC of 2016.

    Please, please, please let Gold Coast go in as short favourites next week. I never want this club to be favourites ever again, ever. If we ever are, I'll bet my life savings against us and retire a happy man.

    • PREVIEW: North Melbourne

      Can you believe it? After a long period of years over which Melbourne has dominated in matches against North Melbourne, the Demons are looking down the barrel at two defeats at the hands of the Kangaroos in the same season. And if that eventuates, it will come hot on the heels of an identical result against the Gold Coast Suns. How have the might fallen? There is a slight difference in that North Melbourne are not yet in the same place as Gold Coast. Like Melbourne, they are currently situated in the lower half of the ladder and though they did achieve a significant upset when the teams met earlier in the season, their subsequent form has been equally unimpressive and inconsistent.

    • REPORT: Adelaide

      The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.

    • CASEY: Coburg

      The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

    • PREGAME: Rd 18 vs North Melbourne

      After four weeks on the road the Demons make their long awaited return to the MCG next Sunday to play in a classic late season dead rubber against the North Melbourne Kangaroos. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
