Season is on the line. Win this and we have some breathing room. Lose and we're probably one loss away from missing finals.

Tx but its gone.

Our changes will be 10 players.

Just send in casey

 

Imagine if you went to your first game and got one of those donated scarves - bin on the way out.

Wish it was that easy for me

Time to pray for miracle, ladies and gents.  We're going to need it.  Pray to God, Buddha, Allah.... whoever you please.  Divine intervention is required.

 

Someone buy a gun and shoot Lewis


Just can’t see us winning 

We look absolutely spent 

Saints up by 50+ on uncontested possessions

42 point win to the Aints coming up

So many players out of form it is unfathomable. Oliver?

Yep. So many dejected faces here. A lot of bleeding in the stands.

We don’t make come backs. We should be praying we don’t have a percentage battering because that’s usually what happens in last quarters when we are losing


I long for six weeks ago when it was hard to find a player to drop. Currently hard to make a case for half the team to be retained next week.

This is the worst - feel like I’m on a hiding to nothing by watching the last quarter. At least in the good old days when we were awful, you could watch knowing the game was well out of reach and couldn’t get worse, and just watch in the hope that one of your talented kids gave you some reason to smile.

Winning seems unlikely, small mercies don’t cut it anymore and it can get a whole lot worse. I am definitely a sucker for punishment. Let’s go.


What an absolute disgrace.

We've completely reverted to the bomb it long to the top of the square on the MCG. We don't switch enough and our forwards don't look like taking a contested mark.

At three quarter time, it's game over against a team that's won 2.5 games for the year.

Gawn and Viney have tried hard to lift the team, but not enough leadership once again.

Has Brayshaw had an effective disposal since quarter time? I don't think so.

    We will miss the 8 again. We on track for 12 wins after this

    Based on this performance the can you see 12 wins ?

    We cannot defend a wide ground.

    A loss and our season is over. Sure umps have been poor, but christ, we have been so much worse.

    All coaches and players need to be put on notice, particularly Goodwin.

    My god this club is staggering. 

    They just can’t get theiit [censored] together and always seem to stuff up when it counts  

    I am so disappointed in this club AGAIN.

     

     

    Poor Petty :( he’s been horrible and will know it. He is gonna be devastated.

    I know we have played poorly but the umpires have destroyed us at times. Like last week. Anyone who disputes the umpires impact has simply not played footy. It can seriously impact your momentum and confidence and mess with players minds. Salem played a text book effort and was pinged. Afl need to stop games ruined by whistles and crazy 50m penalty calls.

    In his defence Petracca does look like his working hard to have an impact at the moment 

    Tracc far from our worst..too many others just can't finish (Brayshaw, Lewis, Jones) or find enough of the pill (Hannan, Tyson etc).

    Goody has made a slow team slower, tried a failed 3 tall forward line far too long with no crumber front & square at all (Spargo) and brought in a first gamer who unfortuntely isn't close to AFL yet, instead of Frost, making an already dodgy backline even dodgier.

    Sorry Goody but you couldn't have done a worse job last 2 weeks and have let the club down badly.

    Amazing how we were flying as of only 3 games ago. Talk about complacency from all player's and coaches. All were stuck in cruise control admiring their own work.

    • 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.
