Jordan Lewis.....[censored] off, worst effort I have ever (EVER) seen from a Melbourne player.

It was Wagners easily broken tackle. Lewis just knew his running ability, probably could've at least had a go though as you said.

Arguably the closest and most evenly matched season and we are still bottom 4 material.

If we come to play in the second half this is still winnable. But that was a truly awful half of footy.

That just looked like the efforts of headless rabble.

Kick it to a friggin target.

Seriously are we just cooked or what? 

The ball is coming out of the forward line too easily. Garlett has done SFA as has JHK. It's just not good enough. 

Terrible game. Bad skills, bad coaching, bad umpiring.

Hawthorn were obviously always going to come out hard after the hiding they copped last week, but for the first irstter and a half, we played like we were intimidated by the Hawks.  Really hoping we can play out the game like we were for the last ten minutes or so of the second quarter.

Even for someone as optimistic as myself, that was an absolutely disgusting half of footy.  Poor second efforts, bad decision making and turnovers all over the joint.  The Hawks apply the pressure, wait for the turnover and then smash us on the rebound.  It's as regular as clock work.  Don't even get me started on how poor our usage is going forward, Watts and Hogan don't stand a chance.

How we are only 5 goals down is a minor miracle and we will need to do some serious soul searching at half time to get ourselves back in the contest.  The only bonus is that they are already one down on the bench if we can hang around for long enough.

One positive we have played as bad as I've seen all year and we are still within 5 goals with a  half to play. Hopefully we have a similear response to the lack luster first half performance of last week and storm home.

 

Here's hoping.

Are we really that slow or is there some other explanation for the Hawks players always having 2-3 metres spare on all of our players when they break forward.

It's called effort. They are running, we are waiting for the cheap ball thinking we are the greatest team ever. Just the usual from us. Also being horribly out coached doesn't help either

    THE ACCIDENTAL DEMONS by The Oracle

    In the space of eight days, the Melbourne Football Club’s plans for the coming year were turned upside down by two season-ending injuries to players who were contending strongly for places in its opening round match against the GWS Giants. Shane McAdam was first player to go down with injury when he ruptured an Achilles tendon at Friday afternoon training, a week before the cut-off date for the AFL’s pre-season supplemental selection period (“SSP”). McAdam was beginning to get some real mom

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the
