Blind Freddy can see how slow we are in the middle. Totally exposed at the moment. 

Needed to change the set up on ball ups. Max should be trying to belt it forward to set up an even contest,  instead little tap down and they clear and spread.

No pace. 

Crap disposal.

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.

Lewis isn't the problem, it's further up the ground and around the ball.

    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.

    We’ve had a nine day break. Last few weeks had nothing to do with it.

    I say again, we all look at the Pederson's, Lewis, Vince for leadership . . . But it's JONES again in a big game as captain, giving us fuckall. He trailed Mayne to the ball 3 times in the last 2 minutes. Goal. 

     

    This is unacceptable from a skipper. Sorry, we all love the bloke for sticking fat but these are different times. Step up or step down stuff now

    They were waiting for this game, that other mob have been steeling themselves for this for a while.

    Belted around the ball today. Shocking!

    Filthy game.

    Given into my 3 year old and now watching peppa pig. 

    And I REALLY hate that obnoxious bratty pig.

    Hogan having a shocker. I think the Pedo v Weid debate is over. And poor JV although ok is no where near his best form. Anb and Gus have been outstanding in the last month but absent today. Spargo is he injured? He started so well. Poor Vince needs to consider retirement. Lewis not too far away. Petracca is just so very average and will not become a Dangerfield. 

    We may make the 8 but we aint gonna win a flag this year. Still better than Dees of 3 years ago at least but this is not a Premiership side at all. Need some gun players that rip these big games part.

    Tmac has fought well.

    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. 

    Forward defensive pressure & press non existent today

    Smashed in the clearances all day. Lost it in the middle.

    The back-line have panicked with the amount of ball that has come in non-stop, whilst the forward line hasn't been all too effective with the limited ball that has been in our forward 50.

    Time to bring in Hunt for Bernie?

    He's not offering much anymore is old Bernie. At least with Hunt there's a bit of pace, something we have severely lacked today.

    All these people calling for Vince and Lewis to be dropped where have you been the last 6 weeks, silly to judge a player off 1 game


    Time to retire Jones from ball ups

    38-20 in clearances. Pathetic. 

    Gawn has wasted every hit out. Got nothing from Jones, Viney or Oliver. Brayshaw wasted on the wing. Bad selection with Pederson. We needed speed. Hunt should have played. 

    Nobody will come close to replacing Lever. I think we will make the 8, but we look like just ladder fillers.

    Amazing hunt wasn't already in today. We knew Collingwood had us for pace but did zero about it again. Hunt on a wing today at least would have shut down a bunch of those pie fast breaks up the wing

    let a [censored] yank walk all over us [censored] me ive seen it all now.

    Sidebottom wins a 4 v 1, [censored] me

    Poor BV is cooked. All day I have been waiting to see a dees player lay a solid tackle that makes a pies player think twice but alas we just haven't shown ANY grit.

    Beaten in every facet of the game

     

    Collingwood clearly a better contested ball team, quicker, sharper, better tacklers, and more depth. And we can't play the big stage. In respect to premiership possibilities, today proves we shouldn't even be in the conversation. For all the BS about QB being our GF, today it was a rehearsal, and we've been exposed as frauds. Utter frauds. Such is the MFC.

    • 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.
