There's been a lot of talk of us being mentally weak, soft, unskilled, etc.  While some of that may be true, what we are above all is terribly out of form.  Essendon, Geelong and Richmond are peaking at the right time of year, I'll give them that.

Last good game we played was against Footscray in June.

Well, the Dockers clearly aren't going to save us ?

Only early. They're giving Essendon something to think about after an insipid first five minutes.

against port and saints we went to sleep for great stretches of the game

the game against the scrays was, probably, our only four quarter performance for 2017...thus far

i can barely bring myself to follow scores today, it's all so thoroughly depressing

Every team expected to win so far has. I guess you could mount an argument for GWS losing but that was definitely a 60-40 game given it was played in Geelong

Only Melbourne has disappointed massively and showed no fight and the sad thing is, nobody is really surprised. 

I don't even think the players are surprised.

Saints game?

I didn't think we were that great. We were lucky that they couldn't hit the side if a barn in the first half. Both Port and St Kilda we were terrible in the second halves.

Umpires love to give every lanky forward in the game cheap arm-grab frees…except for Tom McDonald.

Yeah and his name is daniher.

Yep, went early. If you reckon the blowtorch is on us at the moment, imagine if the Bummers went down in this game.

Ah, a man can dream...

Why are the umpires wearing pale blue today? I've watched 2 Freo players pass to umpires thinking they are players.

so dumb.

 

They've worn pale blue all round. It was even worse in the Bulldogs game.

I'm sure there's some clever (il)logic to it.

Watch GWS' "effort" last night.

GC had 5 scoring shots for entire match.

Carlton lost by 81 points and conceded something like 10 goals in about half an hour.

Yes, we're all angry and frustrated and down after yesterday but let's not make things up.

They're trying to raise awareness for some charity…except the fact that nobody knows why the umps are wearing blue shows they've not done a very good job of it.

Four quarter matches have been few and far between this year- but we played a ripper against WCE the week after we belted Footscray.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.
