Clarry looks like he's checked out. 

Impossible, he never checked in.

 

Well the game is over. Brayshaw needs to be dropped. Oliver has played his worst ever game. Spargo, O.Mac, Hibberd, Jetta, ANB and Brown are not up to it. Petracca is a tease. T.Mac is a backman and Harmes is a midfielder. Pre season heroes they are.

Kozzie & Jack appear to be the only highlights worth keeping an eye on

Langdon has also been wonderful. 
The rest to the tip.

    Obviously a jumper clash confusing our players - we keep kicking and hand-balling to the opposition

    I think we've built a lot of the game plan around the idea that TMac will be at least useful, not he really hasn't been.

    Viney only player showing something solid today, Kozzie has given some fun and hope.

    Thanks yet again Demons. I can’t watch this [censored] any longer. Off to put my snorkel on and lower myself into a bath full of dettol for a couple of months.

    Kozzie and Lockhart must be wondering why they’re doing so much of the heavy lifting for all of these supposedly experienced professionals. 
     

    Those two and Viney can hold their heads up.

    Self isolation is beginning to look attractive. Good luck to everyone. Stay safe and healthy.


    a sad day for footy and even sader for the mfc shocking performance

    Self-loathing?

    ... Yeah, that's when you're in the last couple of days in the world as you know it, and still subject yourself to this torture. I deserve no better. I'm going to watch this until the end, and then count the sheets on my few remaining toilet rolls.

    I’m shocked that people are turning on Spargo, he has so many weapons to his game!

    CB we are only a few hours into the lock down and your already feeling a tad NQR i see! (Ss*)


    2 more months to work on our shortcomings, because we obviously haven’t addressed them in the previous 6 months.

    How people are paying out Oscar is beyond belief. He and May are playing very well, especially considering the amount of ball they are seeing.

    One of the saddest days in footy was Fitzroy’s last game and it was in Perth. Very similar feel, who knows when we see our beloved Demons again in the Comp we know and love. 1 quarter to go.

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      It was bad enough that the Melbourne Football Club created yet another humiliating scenario inside its wretched season at Marvel Stadium last Sunday, but the final insult is that it has been commanded to return to the scene of the crime to inflict further punishment on its fans this week. Incidentally, if this match preview, of a game that promises to be one of the most unattractive fixtures in the history of the game, happens to cut out of your computer screen three quarters of the way through, it’s no coincidence. I’ll be mirroring the Demons’ lacklustre effort against St Kilda from last Sunday when they conceded the largest last quarter turnaround for victory in the history of the game.

    • 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.

    • PREGAME: West Coast

      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.
