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?

Feel sick.

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: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
