Apparently we got the quick answer while I was taking a wiz. Maybe I should spend the rest of the day in the loo.

 
 

North and the Hawks are the most protected vic clubs. No wonder we have 2 frees to our name!

And we are playing like crap


Whatever the opposite of a scapegoat is, Cam Pedersen may be that for me right now; but I'm going to keep harping on the fact that our forward structure has seriously suffered in his absence this week.

Stuffing around with it, are we the worst wet weather side in the AFL?

 

Soul-crushing goal to Carlton inside the last minute. Such a disappointing day.

Ffs ... doesn't anyone look where theyre kicking today !!!

Fair call he should have been in.

Should be first one picked each week

This.


How the f did we beat Hawthorn ?

Given what was on the line, this is worse than the Essendon debacle.

Carlton have lost their last nine games.

Needless to say I think we were entitled to expect a better outcome than what has been delivered.

Anyway the last week has been fun.

Now back to the usual life of a Melbourne supporter.

Most disappoint effort I can remember. Playing a bottom 4 team who haven't won for nearly 3 months and this is what we serve up. Yes the umpires have been horrendous, but we are playing dumb football with zero intensity. Soul crushing.


Our attitude is disgusting. Pea hearted. 

We had everything to play for today and apart from 2 or 3 players we are getting nothing from our players. 

Not only do we not deserve to make finals we don't deserve to be considered a team on the rise until this mentally pissweak attitude and soft underbelly is rid of. 

Shameful performance.

Rock paper scissors, if rocks were capable of underestimating their opponents.

Embarrassing.

 

 

 

Calling leaders... leadership... maybe some ideas from the coaches box...

No...

 

Ok, carry on as we have for the first three quarters.

Respect.
That is our issue.
We think we are something we are not.
Hawthorn can go into a match confident. As can Geelong or Sydney. But you will never find them with an arrogant, laissez faire attitude.
Two times this year this has happened. You would think the Essendon loss would have been the only wake up call we would have needed. Our boys need a pin in their heads before they can think about finals.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

  • AFLW REPORT: St. Kilda

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
