    Take responsible and kick the [censored] goal weideman!

    Turnover ... goal to the filth !

    The skill level is embarrassing, give the MMD game to a decent team, we don’t deserve it

     

    We were one game away from a Grand Final last year.

    From that to this in less than a year.

     


    McDonald can [censored] off with hos brother too. I am done with him too

    Watson just referred to the skills (or absence thereof) of Melbourne to be the worst he's seen this season.

    He said that after Hannan just dropped a chest mark.

    It's pitiful.

     

    I hate handballs to nowhere.


    I'm beginning to think that Goodwin isn't the right coach going forward. And by going forward I mean right now.

    Hannan still rusty. 

    Hannan and Lever both got into the team,  without any displayed form,  or condition.   Both not ready for AFL.

    224 DISPOSALS FOR  3 GOALS

    Wow McDonald doesn't look like getting near it. Stands under the ball, can't take a contested mark and always seems to be in no man's land.

    Can we please draft someone who can snap more than 20 metres. 

    How dare you criticise Lord spargo ! 

    This list is ok. I worry about the coaching. I know that's an ongoing theme, and the coaches don't tell Garlett to pass it off from 30m out (etc etc) we just have NO SYSTEM going forward. Don't talk to me about connection. This is about structures and habits.

    Skills are absolutely killing us. Intent is good - we wrestled control of the ball in that quarter but gee wizz. Hannan dropping it was just one example but was pretty typical of how we’re going.

    Both Lever and May are only 1% off and looking better than I was expecting. Our defence as a whole looks reasonably well coordinated, they were just hammered. Reckon they’re why we’re closer than we might be.

    I haven’t given up yet. I think we could steady and claw the lead back. Fingers crossed.

    Totally devoid of skill. 

    Cant kick or handball. 

    Otherwise ok.

     

    Melbourne needlessly rushing, loopy handballs over the top rather than kicks down the line to leading players.  Selling teammates into trouble, handballs to stationary players.

    F50 entries have been woeful once again, but I haven’t seen anything resembling forward structure and leading patterns.  

    Harmes from the boundary seems to be the only player with any kind of composure in traffic.  Thank god for Marty Hore.

    McDonald looks completely out of sorts, and has benefitted Pies more than his own team so far.

    • 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.

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
