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

    THE ACCIDENTAL DEMONS by The Oracle

    In the space of eight days, the Melbourne Football Club’s plans for the coming year were turned upside down by two season-ending injuries to players who were contending strongly for places in its opening round match against the GWS Giants. Shane McAdam was first player to go down with injury when he ruptured an Achilles tendon at Friday afternoon training, a week before the cut-off date for the AFL’s pre-season supplemental selection period (“SSP”). McAdam was beginning to get some real mom

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the

    GAMEDAY: Match SIM vs North Melbourne

The Demons will take on the Kangaroos in match simulation play, starting from 10am AEDT and broadcast live on Foxtel and Kayo.
