Im glad I won't have to watch them choke come September.

 

Another weekend wasted watching this team. Never fail to disappoint. Perennial losers. 

 

Melbourne unloaded an entire AK-47 mag into their [censored] feet

Sydney have spirit.  We dont.   Alex Johnson goes down when we are up by 3 goals... they crush us from that moment on.

Dogs gave us a gift. We threw it away.  After decades of not taking our opportunities, why would today have been any different?

 

Nathan Jones chance to kick a captains goal out on the full.  Anyone that things we are mentally fragile is kidding themselves.  


I'm dirty on this loss, but I'll let the rest of the usual suspects lose the plot, slash their wrists and do the usual ranting and raving.  Seriously, go right ahead.

We lost this game today in front of goal.  Sure, they cut us up during periods of the game with their use by foot and our willingness to allow them space.  But we should never have let them win this game of footy.  When Hogan goaled and we were 3.7 it should have been 7.3, as we missed a slew of easy shots.  If we were 6 goals up then they would have been dead and buried.  But they weren't, they got a sniff and, as experienced sides do, they made their chances count when we didn't and we couldn't haul them back.

I must admit that I was bemused at times by some of our decision making, and the implied pressure of the Swans meant that we rushed things at times when we didn't need to.  We had every opportunity to win this game of footy, but we didn't make it count, and that's down to composure and skill execution under pressure.  It's not down to leadership and all that stuff.  We just didn't execute well under pressure.

We certainly lacked some class at times and too many players went missing, but this isn't the end of the world.  Seriously, it's not.  We've got two games to go - win one and we're in.  Simple as that.

Real risk of missing finals now. Not that it matters, we can't defeat 'real' top 8 sides. We would be just making up the numbers. I wish we could kick straight, reminds me of the port game.

Was always going to be a losing battle with Goodwin vs longmire in the boxes.

So many mediocre players on this list and lack of leadership and class is astonishing to me.

Hogan should be ashamed.

Vanders and pedo are barely vfl standard.

Mentally weak club!

 

Meek and weak for half the game.  Other teams take note:  you now have the recipe for beating Melbourne!  Gutted!! 

Rubbish coaching performance 

Again poor accuracy cost us

last year we set a record for lowest finals miss by % we will set a new record this year highest percentage and still miss finals.

So many horrendous errors in that last quarter it’s mind boggling 


sorry for cracking into the young bloke but how the fq did Charlie spargo get drafted not having a routine for a set shot and passing the ball 30 out dead in front. Casey for you spargo. don't come back

I can proudly say I have supported this club through thick and thin over 5 decades, unfortunately most of those thin

The Pedersen selection is one of the worst I have ever seen.  He is not a backman, never was, never will be.

And yes I questioned it Thursday night too.

 

I'm glad I decided to follow Casey more so than Melbourne this year.

Lack of composure.

Wasted opportunity yet again

Every week the other results have gone our way we have [censored] it up.

Why should this week be any different


@Jibroni - I saw you quote me in the now locked gameday thread as well.  Not only did you follow me around like a puppy after I tried to show a bit of faith in the side, but quoting me at the end of the day is childish and embarrassing.  Yeah, I got it wrong, but I'd rather put my neck on the line in a positive manner than [censored] and moan.  At least I can get behind the club and try and support it, unlike your good self.  Cheers.

a) Poor disposal coming into I50. 

b) we just don't have the depth to cover for the losses of Viney (especially), Hibberd, Melksham, Lever (especially) and even Joel Smith. The players who are covering for them are just that bit inexperienced at this level, or lacking in ability at this level.

c) overall inexperience. The poor decisions from the likes of Oliver and Spargo when they had set shots but ended up turning the ball over were but two glaring examples.

 

 

I don’t buy into he whole bath water, we’re not a good team yet.  Top teams blow us off the park with their defences setups (I don’t think we have one), spread, workrate and hard at it around the ball.  The swans cut us to shreds through the middle today.  We seriously need to review our coaches tactics

We bombed the ball inside 50. It was like Brent Moloney re-incarnated everytime we got the ball outside 50. Yeah, just bomb it in boys, that will do it. We haven't beaten a team inside the top 9. I don't know what it would take to sound out an experienced coach, but we need to do so whilst we have a quality list. There is no excuse to not lower your eyes going inside 50.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

  • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

    The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • POSTGAME: Collingwood

    Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.

  • GAMEDAY: Collingwood

    It's Game Day and the Demons face a monumental task as they take on the top-of-the-table Magpies in one of the biggest games on the Dees calendar: the King's Birthday Big Freeze MND match. Can the Demons defy the odds and claim a massive scalp to keep their finals hopes alive?
