at the game - it’s clear sydney’s positional structures and where they run is far superior to ours.  we look scrappy - they look polished.  partially it’s coaching and partially it’s our lack of maturity i reckon.

 

Pederson kicks the goal but Oliver being manhandled, what the hell do we have to do for a free kick?

Geez, I know we’re not settling the world on fire but a decision our way wouldn’t go astray!

Another year of failure. Thanks Dees, the most reliable peehearts in the competition. 

Get stuffed. Don't know how many times you can get supporters hopes up only to fall over at the line time and time again. Missing finals this year, after last year's capitulation, will be the final insult. 

You arent going to win too many games of footy with Tyson and Jones on both wings

    They've had 12 free kicks. I've counted 8 from Nichols.

    We are not playing well (we're witches hats), nonetheless, the club has to at least ask the question of the AFL.

     

    We have the players but what this and the Hawthorn game show is that we don't have a Head Coach who is smart enough to get us a Premiership.

    Honestly jonesy i love you but if you’re playing injured just give up your spot. You’re so behind it atm


    they are 2 players down. 

    we haven't played finals in 11 seasons. 

    why is Jordan Lewis on Papley.. whyare all our defenders so slow 

    Horrific stoppage work by us to give up whatever ghost of a chance we had.

    Cheap easy goald..

     

    Who the hell is on Papley? Where Hunt??


    [censored] midget [censored]. No opponent either.

    Also #freekickswans

    Our chasing has been pathetic and second effort chasing does not exist.

    if Jones isn’t injured he is shot.

    Agree the umps (Nichols) are quick to pay anything that looks like a free to the Swans, yet continue to give us nothing.


    Well what do you know, Nathan Jones missing again when the heat is applied, wheres his admirers now? An ordinary player his whole career.

    Who said Sydney were easy beats? I knew they'd come out firing after last week, too many good players.

    Goodwin again clueless in the box.

    We are so [censored]. 

    Still think the AFL is rigged. 

    The bald [censored] of an umpire hates us.

    Always next week. We need to kick 5 golas now. Can't see that happening.

     

    5 goals down and its game (Season) over.

    If we cant beat the Swans with their injuries we have zero hope against WCE and GWS.

    Cant wait for the presser describing the "learnings" from today.

    Actually thought we could win today.... i really did. Guess that will teach me to believe in this mob.

    Lesson learned.

    • 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.
