Fristch is no longer afl standard unfortunately.  Has really regressed 

Move Fritsch to the forward line

 

Brayshaw gets a load of football... but how many rushed, pointless bomb-around-the-body kicks has he done tonight that have been to no advantage or straight turnovers. 

Im getting sick of seeing it... I understand the hundred handballs are tough with Tiger pressure but what about wide spread instead of 0.5m handballs to stationary teammates...

The fumbles tonight as well. FMD, what happened to “getting back to the basics.”  Watched the half time drill of picking it up off the deck, translated to nothing during game time.

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

No one at CHF or higher to take the relief contested mark!!   Playing Weid is like playing a man down.  T-mac experiment over until he gets some resemblence of his 2018 form back.  Running at about 40% of that output/quality right now.

Time to bring Keilty in


The tigers have been garbage, but at least they kick goals more than once in a million forward 50 entries. We're lucky that we are not 100 points down, we would be against a side playing well. TMac is so horribly out of form, he can't take a trick anywhere on the ground. That moment where he tried to run off his opponent was hard to watch. 

 it is winnable but given the poor way we have been playing it would really take some effort to get up from here. just no one up forward standing up, the tigers are tearing us apart from defence and our players cannot take a mark cannot chase and cannot tackle. I think weidermans kick to jones sums up our night. even when there is no pressure our players cannot do it right.

Stretch has been really good.  13 touches, 7 of them contested, and he's generally made good decisions.  Hopefully, like others have mentioned, he gets a good run at it from here.

...and Viney burned him that Q...

Cost us 2 goals the skipper.

Needs to learn what team is...

That bloke wearing number 31 should go and hide in the stands. Has none of Barassi's courage AT ALL. The softest player I have seen in many years. You can throw the Weid in that mix. I said earlier we need our best players playing at their best and the others putting in honest efforts.  Some are but boy are some just going through the motions.

Time for these guys to stand up in last quarter. PLEASE.

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?

Send him forward


Hogan got more touches and score in one game then May and Weiderman combined over the last 3 weeks.

Put Weide deep...  bring jSmith up to the flank or wing...  to play between the Wing and the F50.

We need to mark the ball around the middle to calm us down from overusing it.

There is a serious lack of belief out there. We all know our players can hit a Target and can pick up the ball. We watched it for a season. 

I can see the Tiggers blowing this out in the last.

Shame as they dont deserve a percentage booster.

Our boys have chased tail all night.

With not much left in the legs, this could get very ugly in the last and the Toiges can smell blood.

Basic skill errors and no brains has killed us all night.

It is sad how quickly we have become a rabble drinking our own bathwater.?

HOW MANY [censored] TIMES ARE WE GOING TO KICK IT TO A RICHMOND DEFENDER?!?!?!?!?!

Embrace that anger WB, welcome to the dark side.

To answer your question though, ah for [censored] sake!

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

McDonald can't catch the ball in defence what makes you think he can do it forward...

 

fritter is better than what he is doing tonight ,confidence is shot like the rest of them

  • 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.
