Midfield getting smashed again for second week in a row. Get Jones out of the back line and into the guts coaches!

Anyone saying we don't need more midfielders is wrong. Our midfield still can't compete consistently and we need more experience in there.

It be nice if Hogan did something to. He's taken less marks from more opportunities this year, kicked less goals and stopped bothering to lead or tackle. On form he shouldn't be playing AFL at the moment. Needs a rocket. Hoping it's not a sign he's checked out mentally and is going to leave.

Nobody wants to spend next week getting scans or be in hospital when the Beers are cold and the Plane Tickets have been booked and paid for...

2 free options ignored, kicked to a 1 on 3 in the forward line.  Sums up that quarter.

Carried on where we left off last week.

Pathetic efforts to tackle and not prepared to run hard.

really disappointing end to the season, you'd think they'd want it more.

Great start Dees! Highly competitive effort. Well on top, keep it up!

So do I keep watching, or call time on this season?

The other guy is worse. Can't put the sound down, because I'm watching with someone else.

We're being beaten by a side pushing for a top 2 spot.

If you're surprised by this so far then you're not very bright.

So you expected this? With your optimism levels generally, I doubt it.

Got the starting time mixed up and only tuned in for the last three minutes of the quarter,

I'm glad I missed it.

If Hogan has checked out he can just go. I can't stand these young pre madonnas. You're a nobody Hogan. You had one good season and your ego is far bigger than your skills set right now. 

We are walking on eggshells trying to please him while he's walking around like he's entitled to only put in efforts when he feels like it. 

Shithouse attitude!

Tom Mac getting a fair old touch up.

Oh well i enjoyed 2016 while it was fun.. Players are already have their minds set on mad monday.

Tommy Mac is not at fault. It's right in front of us. The midfield has been insipid.

Even the commentators are alluding  to 186.  Hmmmmmm....

please wake up players.

One team playing for something. One team playing with no purpose and plenty of self preservation. Say what you like but mindset will always be different when you are actually playing for something worthwhile. 

Showing how important this game is by starting with no Jones or Vince in the centre square summed it up at the first bounce.

I expected them to put up a fight for Roos' last game as coach. The effort in that quarter was pathetic. Never seen so many limp tackles.

I did, actually.  I was hopeful we could put up more of a fight, but our season is done, while the Cats can get a Top 2 spot.  Their effort levels and pressure reflect this.  They are working far harder than us.

Again, I'm disappointed, but not surprised at all.

    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
