23 inside 50s for 1 goal?

    Can we pull off a miracle?  If enough of us believe we might be able to fumble the ball down our end enough to kick a winning score.

    Unless this is Melbourne's version of rope-a-dope I reckon we're in trouble.

    3rd quarter

    poor handballs to no one

    putting ourselves under pressure 

    missed tackles

    fumbles

    midfielders not getting into defensive transition 

    Shocking skills by foot 

    COULD BE 7-8 GOALS DOWN

    LEARN TO CONTROL THE BALL OUT OF DEFENCE

    Too many dumb footballers on our list. Gawn included.

    we must be on the peptides again.  we oughta be tested...   all of them.


    Other than Maxy  ....No one is capable.of hitting a short medium target by foot coming out of defence.  ZERO control of the game through perpetual motion followed by turnover after turnover around mid field...

    Chase chase chase trying to get it back...Rinse...repeat!

    SHOW ME THE MONEY!!

    He can [censored] off with his 650k

    Sick of Ling’s biased commentary. Is he in the Tigers Cheer Squad? I would love us to win just to shut him up.

    Am I completely missing something? Honestly, the conditions are perfect and we're handing the ball like a cake of soap?

    I still think this is completely winnable, we were ontop for large parts that qtr, need to hit targets coming out if defence, then take the risky kick with less pressure.

    1.4 in 2 quarters of football. 

    In the 2nd and 3rd quarters the last 2 weeks, we've kicked 1.7.

    1.7 in 4 quarters of football.

    Most glaring issue this year is our inability to kick to advantage.. it is incredible. If it were 3 Dees to 1 tig, we would turn it over

    We are shambles. Completely dropped off in the clearances and our backline went to water under the relentless pressure. 

    We are in real trouble. We have not kicked a decent score once this year and we don’t look like coming close to it. 

    We are lucky they missed a few shots. But regardless this game looks over unless we start finding some avenues to goal. 

    McDonald has to go forward this quarter... no point trying to reduce a loss

    I must admit, that was the most frustrating quarter of footy I've seen for a while.  That includes some of the stuff we've served up this year.

    At least our defence has worked itself out it seems.  Just need the rest to jump on board.

    Here's a stat...first four goals from 8 inside 50's. We have scored one goal from the next 23.

    poor across the midfield...  we need to take marks inside the square,  move the ball thru there as we attack.

    Fritz is playing like he doesn't want to have the ball in his hands. He hands it off straight away to whoever is near him. Doesn't matter if it's a Melbourne player under pressure or a Richmond player or the ground. He doesn't take ownership of the ball and look for the best option. What's going on with that?

    • PREGAME: Sydney

      Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?

    • GAMEDAY: Brisbane

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are back on the road with a massive challenge ahead — facing the reigning premiers, the Brisbane Lions, at their Gabba fortress. The Lions are licking their wounds after a shock draw in Tasmania last week, while Melbourne’s season hangs in the balance. Can the Dees defy the odds and pull off a miracle to keep their razor thin finals hopes alive?

    • NON-MFC: Round 10

      The Sir Doug Nicholls Round kicks off in Darwin with a Top 4 clash between the Suns and the Hawks. On Friday night the Swans will be seeking to rebound from a challenging start to the season, while the Blues have the Top 8 in their sights after their sluggish start. Saturdays matches kick off with a blockbuster between the Collingwood and Kuwarna with the Magpies looking to maintain their strong form and the Crows aiming to make a statement on the road. The Power face a difficult task to revive their season against a resilient Cats side looking to make amends for their narrow loss last week. The Giants aim to reinforce their top-eight status, while the Dockers will be looking to break the travel hoodoo. The sole Saturday game is a critical matchup for both teams, as the Bulldogs strive to cemet their spot in the top six and the Bombers desperately want break into the 8. Sundays start with a bottom 3 clash between the Tigers and Kangaroos with both teams wanting to avoid the being in wooden spoon contention. The Round concludes with the Eagles still searching for their first win of the season, while the Saints look to keep their finals hopes alive with a crucial away victory. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?
