 Even if we pinch this it doesn't matter because we still don't get it.

pathetic football by the demons, gutless, lazy, sloppy and no pressure. You start to finally think the club has turned the corner and is starting to play good football the sort we want them to play and then they turn on this rubbish against a rubbish side.

 

Come on it's Melbourne, only this team knows how to play with their supporters emotions like this. They begin to win your heart back and then they squeeze it with a big f you performance against a bottom 4 side! So so disappointing! 

 

Apart from Dean Kent (a lot of time off the ground?), the  three players who came in, Mitchie, Weiderman and ANB are the worse performers. Can't blame the selectors, they were logical choices, but once again, Mitchie and ANB have been found really wanting at this level.

Of course, we're not losing just because of those 3.

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

No...

 

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

Gawn at full-forward, Hogan CHF, Frost as main ruck, Vince tagging Gibbs as he should have done all day. Kick it long and don't handball it so damn much. Also, bring in Pedersen somehow.

The only person who deserves best and Fairest votes is Neville Jetta.

 

I'm actually suspecting the coaching staff saw this coming at training and tried to inject fresh legs. It hasn't been like us to change a winning team until this week.

Really flat all day from our guys. Just no energy. Pretty disappointed, but we are moving in the right direction as a club. Gotta take the good with the bad. 

Go Dees!

Hogan not leading to the ball carrier when Vanders had broken the Simpson tackle was just the final straw for me. He's unbelievable. I'm lost for words at the laziness/lack of smarts.


Vince can sit out next week. He had contributed bugger all for over a month. Michie can have whatever contract he has torn up. He is a useless AFL footballer and never translates his VFL for ... Neale Bullen the same. Has done stuff all. Horrendous performance when we had all to play for. Devoid of leadership

Typed a long post, deleted it.

 

Oh well the ride was fun while it lasted :( *

 

*trying to put the mockers on my post


Ah the joys of being overseas and waking up half way (or in this case 3 quarters of the way) through the match. I've had good moments of this, West Coast and Hawks being the main one. 

This week had danger written all over it and don't you worry I was one getting swept up in the finals possibility, but I had this familiar feeling (though not as strong) that we were coming into the game with the same mindset against the bombers. 

FFS Melbourne.

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.

We managed the same thing against this mob last year. 

At least if we lose we snuffed out our own slight finals chance

 

This is the old Melbourne that we try forget about.

Look up the word optimism and it will be a photo of a guy wearing a red and blue scarf.

We lost to a bunch of top ups and has beens earlier this year...

 

But due to the occasion and what was on the line this is a close second

Weideman so far off the pace it's not funny. Tackling is disgraceful and has not improved this aspect this year by the looks of things. 

Lost this game at the selection table, cemented that loss in the psych-ward.


Might as well start the post-game thread already ...

Hogan plays from behind way too much

Amazing effort from Viney. To Gawn!

OK now he needs to kick this one. He has missed a couple like this that meant nothing.

  • 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

    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.

    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.
