    &*^k off mate.

     

    Nah just kidding. We're a heavily depleted team with some notable under-performers on the ground, and when we have Lever, Melksham, May, Jetta and Tom MacDonald back in the team we'll enjoy a glimpse into a much more enjoyable next season.

     

    (What, you mean some of you were still holding hope for this one?)

    Pathetic display of composure in the second half.  

    Nobody could step up and actually kick the one goal we needed.  

    Played like scared little boys again when the heat was on.

    Best example, Spargo hand balling to Jones early in the last.instead of taking the shot.

    And OMac could be replaced with a piece of s#*t on a stick for all I care.

    Why waste a good stick.

    Taken you a long time to come to that conclusion.
    Been mentally weak as long as I remember.

    I have to say this.  Garlett is weak as [censored].  For all his speed and skill, he tries to run past contests and do a magic slight of hand tap to knock the ball clear rather than putting his body in.  He misses goals because he's more worried about being tackled than taking an extra step to line the shot up.  He dropped multiple marks tonight because he was looking for who was coming at him rather than watching the ball into his hands.  I don't care how many scores he had, he doesn't do the basics right and he's afraid of contact.  He has to go.

    That was actually harder to lose than win.

    But not for the experts in losing - we could write the text book on how to throw games away. How many games have we just completely thrown away in the last few years by our own doing?

    That was by far the worst of them - it was absolutely ridiculous to lose that game of footy.

    One of the biggest chokes I reckon I've seen

    Demoralising defeat. If there was snatching defeat from the jaws of victory in the dictionary there would be a photo of us. 

    MFC. The club that takes you right to the edge of the water but no drink.

    25 Metres out directly in front.

    Its not possible to miss that last kick. Tim Smith’s Miss was just as bad. As for Garlett’s dropped mark in the pocket. Just can’t comprehend how such basic skill errors are possible? The Demons Complete & total embarrassment in 2019......

    Pathetic to throw away a lead like that. Hang your heads MacDonalds and Frost. Garlett should have kicked 5 and in true fashion squibbed some physical contact. Totally unacceptable loss.

    If you continue to  play that squib Jeffy, this club deserves every loss it will have.

    The sad fact is deep down we all knew this would happen because that is the club we have become .

    If we dont go after a proven full forward that can kick 3 or 4 a game we are doomed.

    I'm no bloody expert but mental strength for athletes comes a lot from practice and preparation.

    You practice over and over and over again until there is nothing to worry about or fear.

    As many have posted this year they are supposed to be professional athletes. Fmd

    It reminds me of Melbourne in 2003. We looked sublime in patches but never really got going and only won 5 matches that year. Need a big forward in the trade/draft period to replace Hogan.

    cool the jets

    oscar is l’homme!

    i remember some fairly heavy sh4t canning of the team in some losses was howled down but it’s now being shown up

    at Least 2 wins cost by poverty stricken kicking

    indictment on coach not to get a grade kicking coach 

    it’s hilariously Melbourne but

    Presser nearest to the pin:

    Hard team to support.  Collingwood will tear us a new one after dropping one to the dockers this week.

    I had to turn if off when we were 32 points up and actually expected to lose. Saw the result and wasn’t surprised. I have no expectations with this club. 40 years of disappointment.

    Are you an alias for Simon Goodwin

    Looking forward to his “positive spin” and “empathy with the supporters” BS.  

    How about spending all next week doing hail kicking 

    Once again about 20 more inside 50s to no avail.  Just abysmal.

    Stuff playing in the NT get rid of this game Melbourne.

    Why?. Adelaide would have given us a hiding at the G as we can't play there. We have been OK in the NT. Get rid of Oscar and JKH and we win easily. Not to mention the pathetic effort of our forwards in last qtr. At least we get Lever, May, Salem & maybe KK for next game.

    I do not want to see Oscar or JKH play for this club again. Casey rest of year thanks

    Garlett dropped that mark in the pocket in the last quarter because he sensed that he might get contact he didn't & we missed an opportunity 2 get an easy goal. I am over him squibbing it. There was another time he didn't want 2 pick it up because he doesn't want contact.  I feel JKH is the same. Tim Smith missed his goal because of pressure. Weed because he got 2 close 2 the man on the mark.

    • 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.
