3 times they've tried the kick over the top to Lewis, 3 times it has failed.

This has to be by far the worst game I have watched all year.

We are absolutely [censored] atrocious.

 

Salem can’t hit a target. Our disease has finally got him.

    mmmmmmmmmm

    perhaps we are tired... no wait.. that was the 2017 excuse

    This year it's injuries is the buzz word and the year before the year before it was we were too young

    Goodwin needs to do something about Oliver... 2 touches in 40 minutes odd of football.. hello Coach

    Salem 30 metre kick directly to Coffield's chest!!!

     

    Can't handle the pressure

    Where is the midfield? MIA.

    We are the worst skilled side in the AFL by a mile. 

     

    Both teams have had horrible skills, Saints have smashed us in the clearances, and that's where we need to start to turn things around.

    Salem and Jones are having shockers.

    Clarry tagged out of it.

    Baker is poor around the contest.

    Forward line is still disfunctional.

    Yes and no. Yes disposal is crap but we’re not really setting up fr easy movement of the ball either. Everything looks hard. We’re SO [censored] ... structures, skills. So hard to believe we’re back here again so fast.

    Schoolboy errors at this level is just embarrassing. I doubt we'll win if this awful brand of footy continues. Absolute shizenhouse

    Salems always been overrated.

    what a pitiful example of football. missing passes, handballs, tackles, no chasing.... actually its pretty much like we have been playing all year, so i guess we get top marks for consistency.

    Losing:

    contested possessions

    uncontested possessions

    inside 50s

    tackles

    marks inside 50

     

     


    well that all turned to [censored], viney, brayshaw, oliver 21 possessions combined. what's going on?

    The more I watch us this year, the more I think that it's not the injuries and the interrupted pre-seasons, or the 6-6-6 that has caught us out. It's the lack of having a runner out there the whole time. The collective footy IQ of this team is about Auskick level and without an onfield coach (ie. Runner) we're literally clueless out there. We are a joke.

    Oliver can’t handle a tag and he’s clueless as a forward.

    Brayshaw is an absolute worry.

    Gee we are lucky to still be in front. 

    Why hasn't maxy just stuck his knee up into this young kid? Show him who is the boss

    They have shut down Oliver completely. Our midfield need to regroup. 

    Its a shame we didn't try this Lewis experiment earlier. I don't mind it. 

    3rd quarter will be interesting.

    that's a coaching issue... and let's face it.. our guy ain't top drawer

    I hope we spend more time trying to drown our players with weird training exercises instead of working on our skills.

    Maybe dropping bricks on their heads might work this time...

    Getting wacked at the stoppages and on the outside.  Nothing new here as we send too many to the contest and don't maintain outliers for the receive.

    Forward line cactus ... inside 50 efficiency 45% to a whopping 63%.  Marks inside 50 .... 3 to 10!  To be expected given no T-Mac but we have the worst worst forward list (or equal with GCS).

    If we dont address the forward line flop we are toast again in 2020.  Takes pressure off defenders/mids allowing them to recover a little and set up behind the ball meaning a more effective wall/press and more repeat entries.

    Also are we still playing a spare behind the press?? I cant tell on the tele.  If not why not??

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?
