Omac is well qualified to wear a Melbourne  jumper.

You're right. Perhaps overqualified.

    We're looking at a 20 goal plus loss next week. The intensity with which Richmond are playing coupled with our apathy for hard competition is an ugly combo. They made a club with pride look very ordinary yesterday...they are going to love seeing the red and blue next week.

    I love a scapegoat as much as the next bloke, but OMac was fine tonight.

    Goody on the other hand.

    Spec savers for you. He was putrid

    Thought Trac was good tonight.

    He needs to stop his fade outs though. Goes missing for blocks.

    What has happened to Gus and Jetta?

    We are just not skilled enough for those chip kicks.

    Some easy delists inc Omac, Jwag, Hunt and Tsmith. Jones to retire.

    So many players just need to show some pride of club.

    Is it weird that I want the media, all of them, to come after us really hard now?

    Its time the club felt extreme heat.

    Tigers have weakest percentage of the top 5 teams. It will be a massacre.

    They deserve it. And we supporters deserve seeing them under fire

    we are road kill... if you watched the coverage last night we weren't even mentioned by the commentators as being  a bump in the Tiger's run home.

    We'll shift some magnets, play well until 3/4 and watch them kick away from 15 to 40 points. Then the turd polishers will pop up from out of the woodwork for the first time in 2 weeks and discuss all of the positive aspects of the match. We'll of course return to rubbish the week later. Rinse and repeat for a few years.

    Frost speeding out of the backline and handballing to a Saints player was a ripper! But it probably wouldn't make his top 5 brain fades of 2019. Gotta laugh.

    Any chance of a spare ticket?

    One player will not make that much difference  we need  at least 3 good new players

    We've already got the players, the problem is that we can't get them on the park, and in particular, we can't get them on the park together. e.g. basically our whole forward line from last year's finals is missing.

    Hype about new fitness bloke means little. Around the 5 minute to go mark, Brayshaw then Harmes, then Frost handed the ball back to the Saints from defence to attack transition. Nothing to do with fitmess. All to do with skill, gameplan, temperament and lack of fear of the coachs reaction.

    I feeling really down after that. Normally I’m on the optimistic side but now I really worry for next year and Goodwin. Neither is looking promising

    And so is the midfield.

    Bad news for you - I live in London and am still unable to separate from them. You'll merely carry the burden with you.

    • CASEY: Sydney

      The Casey Demons were always expected to emerge victorious in their matchup against the lowly-ranked Sydney Swans at picturesque Tramway Oval, situated in the shadows of the SCG in Moore Park. They dominated the proceedings in the opening two and a half quarters of the game but had little to show for it. This was primarily due to their own sloppy errors in a low-standard game that produced a number of crowded mauls reminiscent of the rugby game popular in old Sydney Town. However, when the Swans tired, as teams often do when they turn games into ugly defensive contests, Casey lifted the standard of its own play and … it was off to the races. Not to nearby Randwick but to a different race with an objective of piling on goal after goal on the way to a mammoth victory. At the 25-minute mark of the third quarter, the Demons held a slender 14-point lead over the Swans, who are ahead on the ladder of only the previous week's opposition, the ailing Bullants. Forty minutes later, they had more than fully compensated for the sloppiness of their earlier play with a decisive 94-point victory, that culminated in a rousing finish which yielded thirteen unanswered goals. Kicks hit their targets, the ball found itself going through the middle and every player made a contribution.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      Hands up if you thought, like me, at half-time in yesterday’s game at TIO Traeger Park, Alice Springs that Melbourne’s disposal around the ground and, in particular, its kicking inaccuracy in front of the goals couldn’t get any worse. Well, it did. And what’s even more damning for the Melbourne Football Club is that the game against St Kilda and its resurgence from the bottomless pit of its miserable start to the season wasn’t just lost through poor conversion for goal but rather in the 15 minutes when the entire team went into a slumber and was mugged by the out-of-form Saints. Their six goals two behinds (one goal less than the Demons managed for the whole game) weaved a path of destruction from which they were unable to recover. Ross Lyon’s astute use of pressure to contain the situation once they had asserted their grip on the game, and Melbourne’s self-destructive wastefulness, assured that outcome. The old adage about the insanity of repeatedly doing something and expecting a different result, was out there. Two years ago, the score line in Melbourne’s loss to the Giants at this same ground was 5 goals 15 behinds - a ratio of one goal per four scoring shots - was perfectly replicated with yesterday’s 7 goals 21 behinds. 
      This has been going on for a while and opens up a number of questions. I’ll put forward a few that come to mind from this performance. The obvious first question is whether the club can find a suitable coach to instruct players on proper kicking techniques or is this a skill that can no longer be developed at this stage of the development of our playing group? Another concern is the team's ability to counter an opponent's dominance during a run on as exemplified by the Saints in the first quarter. Did the Demons underestimate their opponents, considering St Kilda's goals during this period were scored by relatively unknown forwards? Furthermore, given the modest attendance of 6,721 at TIO Traeger Park and the team's poor past performances at this venue, is it prudent to prioritize financial gain over potentially sacrificing valuable premiership points by relinquishing home ground advantage, notwithstanding the cultural significance of the team's connection to the Red Centre?

      After a disappointing loss in Alice Springs the Demons return to the MCG to take on the Magpies in the annual King's Birthday Big Freeze for MND game. Who comes in and who goes out?

      After kicking the first goal of the match the Demons were always playing catch up against the Saints in Alice Spring and could never make the most of their inside 50 entries to wrestle back the lead.
