At least Paul Roos will be ecstatic that Sydney had a win.

With the added bonus of a short flight to Brisbane to chat with them about the soon to be vacant coaching role.

Fu**ing pathetic!

If these players ever want to play finals let alone a Grand Final they need to learn how to play matches out rather than roll over and die when things get a little tough.

Can't imagine this going any way other than Sydney running out with a 6-7 goal last quarter . Those tackles, Melbourne would be sore and battered. Gonna be a long last quarter.

Called it.

Also, on 774 they just said Longmire gave the Swans an absolute baking at three quarter tim

Shame about the last quarter.

But anyone surprised about a young side running out of legs after a 6 day break playing the best contested team in the league in the wet at home and gunning for top spot needs to step away from the keyboard.

We're not there yet.

To be fair, this is the first time it has happened all year.

Making at least one change would have helped this.

Just who is on the selection panel? It is The Achilles heel of our developing club right now  

Peter Donegan just said Bernie gone for head high tackle on Parker.

I haven't seen such panic kicking and handball in a football match, we have no plan and no structure, they are playing like a professional football side and we are playing park football.

Looking forward to "all the goals" highlight package this week... the whole 30 seconds worth.

You could fill up another 15 minutes with footage of all of our one metre handballs today.

go jessie, valuable point, we are still in this

I have turned it off 5 minutes ago, something I cant recall doing even over the dark years. Aside from the first 10 minutes most of this so called team have played this game with a complete lack of accountability, smarts, desire or leadership. Big step back when you have stated you are building a team of competitors. 13 swans players have had the same or more tackles than Viney who has our most. Pathetic effort.

That's no excuse.

Playing any kind of sport I despise playing alongside teammates that give in before the final siren goes. 

It creates bad habits, bad attitudes, and a lack of desire.

That was [censored] stupid by Bernie.

When is he ever going to learn.

What an absolutely pathetic last quarter. Too many passengers today, not working hard enough off the ball, nobody wants to tackle, rubbish defensive efforts all over the ground.

And Roos absolutely taking the [censored] not tagging McVeigh. 

Just goes to show that as a team we are still 10 goals behind decent teams. That is a gap that will take at least 3 years to breach, and lets hope other teams don't go past us like they have previously!

A mature experienced team will always do well on s day like today. 

The guys are trying their guts out but not up to it.

Way to predictable all day. 20 points down .... We're not even trying anything to win.

so simple for the the swans to defend against. Worst performance in two years

HARVEY WALLBANGER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Absent: Salem, Windsor (word is a foot rash going around), Viney, Bowey and Kentfield Train ons: Roy George, no Culley today.

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force as the Demons returned to Gosch's Paddock for preseason training on Wednesday morning. GHOSTWRITER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Kozzie a no show. Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
