    Knee. It buckled. Went to get it strapped. Doesn’t look too serious.

    Seriously you wonder how these players get paid the amount they get. Kicking for goal was shocking that quarter.  Trac should be nailing those goals now. Neal bullen is just spraying them. 

    Not the best game to watch

    Every time Frisch touches the ball Carltank get a goal. He is the new turnover merchant of this club. Should not be playing on the backline FFS.

    Tracc has been good

    ANB has been horrible 

    you dont miss a shot from 30m directly in front and say he's had a good game. 

    bad kicking is bad football.

    Why not kick long with 40 seconds to go. Embarrassing. 

    Poorly coached/drilled or no football brain.  Or a combo of both.  Even our younger inexperienced players have generally gone backwards from last season under Goody aside from new ones that haven't been in the system long enough to be effected at senior level (Lockhart).


    I don’t think it is too much to expect your team to play afl standard footy. We are not at under 9’s level ATM.

    most idiotic move by Goodwin. especially when  u have hacks like weideman, ANB and petracca missing simple shots that 95% of suburban players would kick

    Plenty of kicks but nearly every one went to Carlton. Up here at home in Qld and would have to be the worst game of Footy I have ever seen. Just as well Carlton are giving it back to us after we give it to them. Taking in turns to stuff it up. Oh well it is the 2nd and 3rd last teams

    Apparently we are whingers if we expect our team not to be horrible.

    Omac before Frost.

    Petracca is a star.

    Carlton will beat Melbourne.

    What next people....

    The return of Omac

    Set shots are our achilles heel.

    Surely Someone can get Tracd to lowere the ball drop < and Wieds

    A small fwd like ANB MUST be better around the goals. He is not confident at shooting,.. Agree we could have this shot to ribbons but for our goal kicking.

    That last minute was embarrassing .... nothing good will come from this game and of course we had to have the weekly injury.

    Weideman missing everything from around 30.... (not alone) there's seriously something wrong in the headspace of the players.

    And then the number of chip passes that have missed their targets. Luckily not too many turnovers but momentum killers.

    I'd just like to say that I've been screaming for fritsch to be played forward all year and also, can tom McDonald stop smiling. you're in a rabble of a club playing another rabble. smile when you start playing like a top 100 afl player.

    I really wonder what Max is thinking watching this from the stands

    Hopefully ANB has something to eat at halftime

    Some nuts?

    To be fair to all the players and coaches they have been consistent all year....

    Consistently terrible

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
