Our season is over. Can BS on here all we want, the saints are the second worst team in the league and we can’t beat them... 2018 is worse than 2017.

    Something seriously wrong with our team if we can smash this rabble a few months ago and can't even beat them today. Horrible.

    That late comeback only came about because St Kilda's run stopped and they went more conservative which played into our hands.

    In no way did we deserve to win this game.

    Get ready to hear about all the great lessons learnt this week. I think I'll spew.

    Time for Jones to relinquish the captaincy, just a soldier now who can't hit targets and doesn't inspire his teammates. 

    Out: Joel Smith (no smarts), Tyson (the slow butcher), Petty (not at AFL standard at this stage).

    Backline needs a major reshuffle. Midfield is too freakin slow, forwards are not playing for each other, Goodwin on thin ice now.

    Some serious questions about this whole club yet again!  Goodwin needs a kick up the rear end.  Time for the blowtorch On big headed players who cannot cut the mustard.  Zero total commitment from this group.  They do drink their own stuff!!! Makes me sick

    Gawn & Viney bleed for this club.

    They do.  Viney's last term was immense, and they shouldn't have had him tag Steven at the start of the game.  The bloke is our bull at the stoppages, let him loose from the opening second.

    Completely outplayed, and dare I say it, out-coached.  I'm completely shattered.

    Incredibly frustrating seeing arguably our best midfielder reduced to a tagging role for more than half the game. Let him loose in the centre and he almost turns the game on his own.

    Viney is a one-way runner and too slow when teams open us up on the MCG.

    Goodwin's gameplan contradicts itself. It relies in quick sweeping attacks, that kills us on the transition, formed around a contested gameplan that dictates staunch defensive awareness and tactics.

    Hay were still in the eight, some how.

    Give it time especially the way we are playing. 

    Melb never fails to disappoint. 

    On a positive note we consistently disappoint.

    What lessons this week Goodwin?  This is gut wrenching for us all yet again.  We learn nothing!!!

    Season is done, zero chance we make it now, what an absolute slap in the face after the talk from players about missing out last year, now let’s watch the AFL Change some rules to stop congestion and us not having the players to play that sort of footy, I sometimes wonder if we are cursed

    In spite of everything, lost in the back line, though that was also because of what was happening further up the field and the way the ball was coming in. We kicked 18 goals which is a winning score - but let them kick more.

    Lost through some indiscipline and those handful of needless 50 metres that just handed them goals and gave them confidence.

    Also inexperience (my constant theme), across much of the team but especially Petty who was clearly out of his depth unfortunately. Then throw in those handful of players we have who get the ball but have poor or unpredictable disposal, which leads to turnovers (Tyson, Harmes, ANB the main three).

    No easy solutions, short of Jake Lever making a miraculous recovery, though I thought Smith played himself back into it, and Hibberd was decent. Thank god for Bailey Fritsch.

    I'd be looking at Stretch (decent kick) and Vince (experience) back in.

    I cant lay the blame at any one player's feet but if I did he would not be standing on them, he would be bald ,wearing number 6 ,with terrible disposal and be well past it.

    When Oliver went down at the centre bounce and the umpire had his back to it, where were the other two umpires.

    That was our rnd 23. Onto next year.

    Worst tall defenders in the league.

    terrible pressure for most of the game

    Please stop talking about our i50 entries. We let a team that beat the total average game score in a half and then go onto score 120+ pts.

    The blame is squarely on the defensive running of the midfield and the bog ordinary defenders in our side. 

    Omac lost without Lever

    Petty debuts in one of our most important games of the year?

    Disgusting decisions from the coaching staff with the selections this year.

    • 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.
