This has been about as bad as it gets, but the Eagles are about as bad as an opponent that we could face.

Defensive structure hasn’t been dreadful. Forward entries I have to believe must improve 

 

Wow. Spargo. Go away. 

 

Spargo is a ?

    If you can’t use the ball in today’s footy you get belted. We have 15 years of this problem. 
    Disposal skill is nearly the most important element of the game. Look at Hibberd turned over every single possession. 
    We are the worst disposal side in the AFL on the games this week.

    And I think that little number 9 has turned every ball over also. Sick of our lack of skills


    Lever is a terrible kick. Just a terrible, terrible foot-passer of the game.

    3 more basic turnovers. 
    Sorry this is trash.

    I watched both preseason games closely and our skills looked really good.

    Maybe it’s just the pressure of playing front if the parochial west coast crowd.

    Oh wait.......

    If I hear anyone mention Spargo and smart in the same sentence again I will throttle them.

    I don’t know what’s worse, Spargo’s kicking or Neeld coaching.....

    Maybe Langdon's kicking. Certainly poor today


    Hibberd, oh Hibbo!

    He'd be better off choosing handball as his first option instead of his default move of bomb it long. Can he be coached out of it or just left off the side altogether? He does get possessions it's his disposal that stinks.

    My fav backline player for many years has hit the end of the road too - farewell Nev, thanks for the memories. There were plenty of good ones.

    • GAMEDAY: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      It's Game Day and the Demons are back on the road for their 3rd interstate game in 4 weeks as they face a fit and firing Crows at Adelaide Oval. With finals now out of our grasps what are you hoping from the Dees today?

    • 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.

      With their season all over bar the shouting the Demons head back on the road for the third week in a row as they return to Adelaide to take on the Crows. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • 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.
