[censored] me dead. How many times do we need to kick to that exact same spot, and have it intercepted by THE EXACT SAME PLAYER, before we decide to kick somewhere else. Christ some serious questions need to be asked about our players. 

That idiotic kick from Tyson was the equivalent of last week's Gunston poster which resulted in our goal.

    He’s not alone, but Joel Smith has had a shocker today. Not sure it was a great move bringing him in for a prelim so early in his career. He still hasn’t shown he’s even afl standard, let alone ready to play finals.

    I think oscar has done a good job today

    He has, but someone will pipe up no doubt.

    They have been exposed today. No doubt Lever’s return will help. The last 2 weeks the oppositionhave only had 1 good KPF, we still get exposed with 2 decent tall forwards.

    Omac and Frost are an example of where we lack polish and need to be supporting a primary KPD

    But today shouldn't be their measure as their midfield mates completely torched them

     

    Vanders has been good this second half. Thank god someone has the balls to take on the opposition instead of firing off a panicked handball.

    I actually think Oscar has played well considering the complete lack of midfield pressure and the quality of player he’s been playing on. 

    Also if Petracca doesn’t learn to kick this summer he needs to F off. Sick of his goal kicking.

    If anyone has come to the conclusion that Jordan Lewis is to blame for this then you need some serious psychotropic medication.

    Although it is an expedient thing to have a whipping boy.

    Another possible interpretation?

    He’s having a shocker and he’s not on his own

    I’m off to the Doctor tomorrow morning for some of that Medicine 

    Believe he’s been a liability all year

    Cant have a bloke in the side for excellent finger pointing who won’t chase or tackle except on the odd occasion when he feels like it

    Have they taken Gawn off for a reason? Injured??


    Fritsch would be feeling dirty right now. Not that he was the difference between a win or loss but Joel hasn't exactly set the world on fire. 

    Oscar has been pretty good. Lewis, Jones, Tyson have all had shockers. 

    Oh God, how did Weid miss that? This is like nightmare fuel. 


    New boot supplier please

     

    We have been exposed by our own poor play and NOT by Kennedy and Darling. Eight goals for Meth Coast in the first half resulted from crappy handball turnovers.

    Crappy grand final coming up. Sorry to offend the purists but I'd rather have seen GWS and Gold Coast

    Let’s not let this debacle degrade us or define us

    Many many positives from the season but mentally and physically overwhelmed on the big stage.  It happens. 

    We have come a long way.  Time to move on and look ahead to how and where we can improve. 

    I think we thought we were good enough against the Cats this year, up to Semi's. 

    The Hawks as well, but was a slightly bigger stretch for us... we overcame almost too much, in one sitting, to digest in the one season...

    With the new charges coming into the side this year,,, Spargo, Weidemen, the new Frost, jSmith, Fritta,  we've gone realistically as far as anyone could expect, in 2018__

    Fritsch might feel better that he wasn’t part of this debacle.

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      It was bad enough that the Melbourne Football Club created yet another humiliating scenario inside its wretched season at Marvel Stadium last Sunday, but the final insult is that it has been commanded to return to the scene of the crime to inflict further punishment on its fans this week. Incidentally, if this match preview, of a game that promises to be one of the most unattractive fixtures in the history of the game, happens to cut out of your computer screen three quarters of the way through, it’s no coincidence. I’ll be mirroring the Demons’ lacklustre effort against St Kilda from last Sunday when they conceded the largest last quarter turnaround for victory in the history of the game.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.
