Looked slow and flat all day. As usual, any game with pressure and decent opposition we squib. 

God knows why Oscar doesn’t play in front, has me baffled. Weak as [censored] this club.

    [censored] this. Coast to coast [censored] with 10 seconds to go. Back to the old garbage from this team. I’m going back to bed. Annoyed that I got up so early to watch this [censored]. 

     

    Too many old slow players - Vince, Lewis, Jones. Can’t have them all in the same side. Pederson, yet again, is just not up to it. 


    Im so dissapointed.

    6.2 to our 4.3 that quarter.

    Very disappointing. 

    Lewis has been awful. Doesn't earn his paycheck against good opposition.

    We still can't play the MCG.

    Without Jetta Hibberd and Salem, this would be a 70 point loss. Which it might still be.

    This smells like the Hawthorn game all over again.

     

    Yep, we've been found out a little today and I can't see us coming back from here.

    We've looked a little flat, as if the last few weeks have taken it out of us a little.  Too many players down and not enough gut running.  The last few minutes summed up the day - we went inside 50 4 times for nothing, then they run it out with ease and kick a goal.  It's what was happening to us earlier in the season and it's happening here again today.

    I don't see us winning this game but we've got another 30 minutes to make a response.

    Collingwood have played the game very well. We had no answer. Reality check time, we're a good side but have a bit of a way to go.


    another insipid, gutless lazy effort when it counts. too many easy goals from Collingwood as our players fail to man up, chase, tackle, they obviously came out again as they often do thinking all they have to do is turn up to win.

     

    They have us spooked. Round 23 replay.

    Feel for Daniher to serve up this on such a big occasion.

    Harsh on Lewis.  I don't think he's been that bad.  At least he's gotten his hands on the ball a little, unlike many others.

    Hard to see us pinching this one now. That last goal was the one we didn't need.

    Will be interesting to see what happens going forward now, have a few players been found out when the pressure is really on?

    Can’t stand it that that spud Cox has kicked 4 goals.

    I would cancel the bye break. It will take a week to get some of these blokes to run when they don't have the ball. Lazy as hell.


    Lewis and Vince need to go. Bring in young blood Baker and Balic. Obviously there leadership isn’t adding [censored] anymore 

    Again I have to question Goodwin. Whenever the pressure has been on he has had no answers what so ever. Is it just our team not being good enough, or can some blame fall on Goodwin. We have been outplayed since the first bounce in every part of the ground. 

    They set up too well

    Crunbing our bombs forward then gut running

    Hope we can learn

     

    ps. Who is the game day wuzzard in the box mentioned in another thread?

    Disgusted by the lack of intensity in the midfield and backline today. Very disappointing day for the club to cough up 2nd on the ladder and fall back to the pack.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      There was a time during the current Melbourne cycle that goes back to before the premiership when the club was the toughest to beat in the fourth quarter. The Demons were not only hard to beat at any time but it was virtually impossible to get the better them when scores were close at three quarter time. It was only three or four years ago but they were fit, strong and resilient in body and mind. Sadly, those days are over. This has been the case since the club fell off its pedestal about 12 months ago after it beat Geelong and then lost to Carlton. In both instances, Melbourne put together strong, stirring final quarters, one that resulted in victory, the other, in defeat. Since then, the drop off has been dramatic to the point where it can neither pull off victory in close matches, nor can it even go down in defeat  gallantly.

    • CASEY: Footscray

      At twenty-four minutes into the third term of the game between the Casey Demons and Footscray VFL at Whitten Oval, the visitors were coasting. They were winning all over the ground, had the ascendancy in the ruck battles and held a 26 point lead on a day perfect for football. What could go wrong? Everything. The Bulldogs moved into overdrive in the last five minutes of the term and booted three straight goals to reduce the margin to a highly retrievable eight points at the last break. Bouyed by that effort, their confidence was on a high level during the interval and they ran all over the despondent Demons and kicked another five goals to lead by a comfortable margin of four goals deep into the final term before Paddy Cross kicked a couple of too late goals for a despondent Casey. A testament to their lack of pressure in the latter stages of the game was the fact that Footscray’s last ten scoring shots were nine goals and one rushed behind. Things might have been different for the Demons who went into the game after last week’s bye with 12 AFL listed players. Blake Howes was held over for the AFL game but two others, Jack Billings and Taj Woewodin (not officially listed as injured) were also missing and they could have been handy at the end. Another mystery of the current VFL system.

    • PREGAME: Brisbane

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.
