I have woken up with a mixture of emotions this morning - excitement, nervousness, wonderment (that we have got through this strange season and still might be finals contenders) and above all hope tha

Pedersen out and our forward structure goes to shite once again. He's much more important than most realise.

We just can't buy a goal, and every time we do Carlton go straight back down the other end and score one.

Lazy, leaderless, unaccountable footy. Not one player standing up.

I was fuming when I saw Pederson had been dropped, our entire forward structure has fallen apart today and Weideman simply wasn't the right man to come in for him.

Agreed .... Playing a baby to win a crucial game of footy. The youth at all costs policy should be renamed "Youth at a massive cost"

Well done FD

Lost at the selection table and above the shoulders

Why do we always lose these games? After three years of it and with Roos at the helm, you'd think they would have sorted it out by now.

Possibly the worst coaching performance from Roos when you consider the team selection, match ups and structure.

His 'let them learn and adapt' ethos needs intervention at times. Goodwin needs to rip into these players and take control.

Patheric performance, woeful effort. As soon as we get pumped up in the media, we drink our own bath water, fans included. Finals are far from a certainty next year, as we are still weak in the head.

I raised this point two weeks ago. Take away finals it's apparently too much to expect players to turn up for work 22 days a year.

The coaches bought into the arrogance.

Well i hope this really really hurts because I am hurting big time.

Hard to split this and the Essendon game for worst losses of the year. I'm gutted right now. It was going to be such an old Melbourne thing to come out today and lose to bloody Carlton. We had to prove people wrong and show we've moved past this kind of heartbreaking, peahearted [censored].

But no, we serve up this predictably terrible performance and throw finals in the bin.

You guys (and gals) are all nuts. Hogan has quite literally been our only forward today.

Exactly Chook.  19 touches and 14 marks.  His kicking for goal over the off season needs some serious work, but to suggest he has a bad attitude with stats like that is ludicrous.

No doubting his set shots have increasingly become an issue as this year has gone on though,

Petracca as well for that matter. Both could be anything, but have a fixable flaw in their games.

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t

    TURNAROUND by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons won their first game at home this year in the traditional King’s Birthday Weekend clash with Collingwood VFL on Sunday in a dramatic turnaround on recent form that breathed new life into the beleaguered club’s season. The Demons led from the start to record a 52-point victory. It was their highest score and biggest winning margin by far for the 2024 season. Under cloudy but calm conditions for Casey Fields, the home side, wearing the old Springvale guernsey as a mark of res

    POSTGAME: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    Once again inaccuracy and inefficiency going inside 50 rears it's ugly head as the Demons suffered their second loss on the trot and their fourth loss in five games as they go down to the Pies by 38 points on Kings Birthday at the MCG.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    It's Game Day and the Demons are once again faced with a classic 8 point game against a traditional rival on King's Birthday at the MCG. A famous victory will see them reclaim a place in the Top 8 whereas a loss will be another blow for their finals credentials.

    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
