This is Mark Need-esque. Your move Goodwin

Wait till we get beaten by the bombers on Friday night. 

 

Well at least Viney isn’t cooked. Looks much better than last week.

    Not that i'm saying "I told you so" or anything, but our players keep fumbling, they are missing kicks and every time they hit up the "hot spot" they are outnumbered and Geelong take the ball out with ease.

    I’m being consoled. Well, attempting to console me. I actually have a tear in my eye. It makes me so sad after how hard we worked last year. It’s like the form during our preliminary final never left us

    That’s probably the only positive I’ve taken from this garbage so far.

     

    Why continue to bomb it into the forward 50 when we have no crumbers?

    Move hunt into the midfield or forward. His obviously having no impact at half back

    Petracca isn’t a forward’s ar$ehole and yet he is always 2-on-1 by himself up forward. Why?

    Then we drop him. He’s in the team on potential, not output. Either he gets involved and has an impact, or we drop him.

    Mate. He is no where near getting dropped. Delivery into the forward line has been terrible. Who are you bringing in for him?

    You would drop him ahead of Jones, ANB, Frost, Sparrow, Lockhart? Would you drop them all? Our list is nowhere near good enough to be dropping Trac.

    how are we this bad - AGAIN!

    We are all in too tight inside the contest.    We need 2 or 3 in close,  and 3 just off the pack to receive or defend space. 

    A bit like when the Saints beat us under Edishat,  3yrs back.

    Because we are so close together in tight...  we're just flipping the ball from one to the other,  until we cough it up.

    ANB and Jones to be dropped.  Past history does not gift you games.

    ANB is useless at AFL level.....great runner though ?

    Jones's used by date ....last week.

    But hey.. be a realist and you're anti Melbourne. 

    Can't wait for the presser

    25 points down is utterly flattering.

    Weideman not a natural footballer 

    needs to spend the start of each season at Casey and continue to learn there’s more to it than mark and kick

    Hell, bring in my brother too. He's a decent forward at least (though admittedly a little lazy).

    • WHAT’S NEXT? by The Oracle

      What’s next for a beleagured Melbourne Football Club down in form and confidence, facing  intense criticism and disapproval over some underwhelming recent performances and in the midst of a four game losing streak? Why, it’s Adelaide which boasts the best percentage in the AFL and has won six of its last seven games. The Crows are hot and not only that, the game is at the Adelaide Oval; yet another away fixture and the third in a row at a venue outside of Victoria. One of the problems the Demons have these days is that they rarely have the luxury of true home ground advantage, something they have enjoyed just once since mid April.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.
