Btw, I hate umpires.

Had less effect on the result than the absolutely atrocious set shots. Thought the umpiring was poor for both sides.

We seriously need to learn from this, perhaps more than any time over the last 10 years. This was a game that could've set us up to become a real enforcer in 2017. Learning get from this imo is more critical than 2 or 3 years ago.

The Milkshake haters will be quite tonight. I thought he was quite good and used the footy well.

Quite so

Frustrating loss, mainly due to the poor shots at goal. Missing some good players also, Gawn going down didn't help. We're going places. 

We are.

One of the most frustrating games though.

Our poor kicking was amplified by their good kicking.

With max and hogan out we did bloody well against a finals contender AT ETHIAD. How quick we forget.

OK, perhaps I have been a little harsh on assessing ANB...BUT, that dinky kick directly toward GFC goal in the last Qtr, which resulted in an easy conversion to Cats was thick as a brick... brain fade... silver service... you name it! A tendency to overate himself in my book!

Not just the shocking blues. It's the intensity, the lack of physical presence and inability to make a contest. 

He was lacking late but so was everyone else. Give it a spell.

North were 9-0 last year.

I'm not going to get into a historical stats discussion here cause we could probably go all the way back to 1850 given the time.

Its the same thing we say about beating Carlton last week, better teams just know how to win.

Thought we were hard at it today though

IMO the only negative of the night was goal kicking. 

Spencer time to step up and show us what u got. 

 

Yep. Spencer better dominate. He's got Sandilands up first. He's been asking for his opportunity and now he has it.

We would have won what with Lewis and hogan. Lewis's experience and calm head. 

Hogan for smith as a focal point 

it really showed didnt it. We should have won anyway...but those two would surely have steered us there. Feel so disappointed tonight. Hope the team hasn't annoounced its character ie close but no cigar

    GAMEDAY: Rd 17 vs West Coast

    It’s game day and the Demons return to Melbourne to play the Eagles at the MCG for the first time in over a decade. A win keeps the Dees finals hopes alive whereas a loss will almost certainly slam the finals window shut.

    CROSSROADS by The Oracle

    Melbourne stands at the crossroads.  Sunday’s game against the West Coast Eagles who have not met the Demons at the MCG in more than ten years, is a make or break for the club’s finals aspirations.  That proposition is self-evident since every other team the club will be opposed to over the next eight weeks of footy is a prospective 2024 finalist. To add to this perspective is the fact that while the Demons are now in twelfth position on the AFL table, they are only a game and a half b

    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?
