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.

    • POSTGAME: Sydney

      The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.

    • CASEY: Northern Bullants

      The Casey Demons travelled to a windy Cramer Street, Preston yesterday and blew the Northern Bullants off the ground for three quarters before shutting up shop in the final term, coasting to a much-needed 71-point victory after leading by almost 15 goals at one stage. It was a pleasing performance that revived the Demons’ prospects for the 2025 season but, at the same time, very little can be taken from the game because of the weak opposition. These days, the Bullants are little more than road kill. The once proud club, situated behind the Preston Market in a now culturally diverse area, is currently facing significant financial and on-field challenges, having failed to secure a win to date in 2025.

    • GAMEDAY: Sydney

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons have a golden opportunity to build on last week’s stirring win by toppling Sydney at the MCG. A victory today would keep them firmly in the hunt for a finals spot and help them stay in touch with the pack chasing a place in the Top 8. Can the Dees make it two in a row and bring down the Swans?

    • NON-MFC: Round 11

      Round 11, the second week of The Sir Doug Nicholls Round, kicks off on Thursday night with the Cats hosting the Bulldogs at Kardinia Park. Geelong will be looking to to continue their decade long dominance over the Bulldogs, while the Dogs aim to take another big scalp as they surge up the ladder. On Friday night it's he Dreamtime at the 'G clash between Essendon and Richmond. The Bombers will want to avoid another embarrassing performance against a lowly side whilst the Tigers will be keen to avenge a disappointing loss to the Kangaroos. Saturday footy kicks off as the Blues face the Giants in a pivotal clash for both clubs. Carlton need to turn around their up and down season while GWS will be eager to bounce back and reassert themselves as a September threat. At twilight sees the Hawks taking on the Lions at the G. Hawthorn need to cement themselves in the Top 4 but they’ll need to be at their best to challenge a Brisbane side eager to respond after last week’s crushing loss to the Dees on their home turf. The first of the Saturday night double headers opens with North Melbourne up against the high-flying Magpies. The Roos will need a near-perfect performance to trouble a Collingwood side sitting atop the ladder.
