Where's Jayden Hunt?? Hasn't touched the ball for 3 weeks now

In the backline for some unknown reason when he was doing well up forward. Meantime Hore is in the VFL.

    The problems with this club run so so deep. We have a name, a logo and a jumper, but we don't actually stand for anything.

    Some things you can allow for, forgive and understand, but the lack of fight when things are tough and belief in each other (not just talking about the players btw) are all just emblematic of an organization that exists just to survive, not to succeed.

    I believe that can only be changed by leadership club-wide. The closest we've had to a ruthless, wants-to-win leader has been PJ. Goodwin has become a PR artist, Bartlett just wants the "me time", Pert is invisible and our co-captains aren't directional leaders and are so limited as footballers that they struggle to lead by example anyway.

    Wasn't expecting a win today of course, but the way we have just wandered through this year says a lot about who we really are.

    Lever is having a stinker. Needs a pre season to get himself right.

    Can’t have a player who can intercept to come in and impact 2 first rounder Levers opportunities.


     McCartney words....This playing group is probably at a third of its development … but a lot of the initial hard work has been done,” he said.

    “The growth and development in this club over the past four or five years has been extraordinary.”

    so extraordinary that Pies keep scoring from our dumb mistakes, poor skill errors..

    Collingwood supporters standing near me love fritsch. they cant work out why we hit the flank every tine we go mark across half forward. we wait for them to flood. this season is a carbon copy of 2003.

    Funnily enough i thought we were a sneaky chance today. Good judge.

    It’s just horrific how bad we are when the ball is turned over 

    Collywobbles are playing with us. 

     

    Embarrassing stuff. Most embarrassing is the coaching and match ups.

    And just a rookie!   What does that tell you about our leaders.  Both should be de-frocked and a new leader (Gawn) in place for 2020.  May as VC.

    Surely we are just trying to raise value of some players in hope to get a 3rd rounder in a trade Omac, Hunt, Hibberd ect. We are surely taking the [censored] playing them otherwise.

    Jake Lever should ask for a pay cut. Miocek is only on half his salary and giving him a bath.

    • WHAT’S NEXT? by The Oracle

      What’s next for a beleagured Melbourne Football Club down in form and confidence, facing  intense criticism and disapproval over some underwhelming recent performances and in the midst of a four game losing streak? Why, it’s Adelaide which boasts the best percentage in the AFL and has won six of its last seven games. The Crows are hot and not only that, the game is at the Adelaide Oval; yet another away fixture and the third in a row at a venue outside of Victoria. One of the problems the Demons have these days is that they rarely have the luxury of true home ground advantage, something they have enjoyed just once since mid April.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.
