One positive to come out of a game like this is that Demonland really comes to together and there's no bickering.

A bloke I know cut himself while shaving down there.  It got infected and he nearly died from arse-nic poisoning.

Tim Watson is a bit special. Talking up how good Geelongs recruitment was last year. Umm, yeah, they got the best player in the comp though free agency mate. That makes it look pretty decent. Who else? Oh, Scott Selwood. 

Yeah. Nailed it.

Why play Weiderman ahead of Pedo? The kid has hardly touched it. Talk about destroying his confidence.

 

Why play Pedo in a game like this when Weeds needs experience against top defenders?

Perspective.

Congratulation Melbourne. 

Not long ago, we came to this ground and lost by 186. That was one of the darkest days of our club, and started what was a horror run towards oblivion. Somehow we lucked out and managed to get Paul Roos to come and save our sorry arses. Yet here we are, 3 years on, and we are finishing off his career the way we started it, by playing gutless, skilless, pathetic football.

What a sad way to finish off what felt like an optimistic season and has turned into absolute [censored] the last two weeks. From finals contenders to garbage.

Pretty funny the people on here making judgement calls on players' careers based on today's game.

Whilst disappointing, today cannot be entirely unexpected. Good motivation for the off-season.

We may have improved some elements but it's hardly a successful is it if this is the litmus

This is not the litmus test but we have improved but it has not been a success ....wait

So why is this the litmus? Why not say the Hawthorn game was the litmus?

No one game is definitive of the season, the season is the litmus and the season has been a success.

It would just have been more successful if we hadn't turned in a disgrace of a performance today.

I disagree with the success mantra titan. You play footy to win premierships. When we do that we have had success. We have definitely improved this year though.

As for next year who knows. Fingers crossed but footy is a brutal game. There's no guarantees we will automatically be a finals team unless everything goes well. Even then we will need a bit of luck also. Oh, and some decent off season trades!

[censored] disgusting Melbourne. Entire season of hope undone in 2 rounds .... Great way to enter the off season.

If you've lost hope after the last two weeks you're kidding yourself.

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    The Demons once again went goalless in the last quarter and were run down by the Lions at the Gabba in the final minutes of the match ultimately losing the game by 5 points as their percentage dips below 100 for the first time since 2020.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last
