Yeah let’s put Bennell or Brown or Weid down there and see what happens. 
 

Oh crap well maybe next week. ?

We could have plugger at full forward our delivery is killing us, Viney has no composer what so ever he rushes without thinking 

 

Should show the players Richmond laughing on the bench.  Just shows what they think of us

Wow with a full squad we have another goalless Quarter and defence have had 0 intercept marks for the game. Don’t get me started on our midfield. 
 

We are a shambles end to end and right back into the Neeld era.

    Messy messy messy. A few mistakes from Maxxy but my god he is leagues above the rest; most tackles and the little efforts that the captain should always display.  Love him.

    1.5 years of not being able to score, continues.

    Lots to like but ... execution, execution, execution.

    (And that's being kind. We should change our colours to blue and white stripes there are so many butchers in the team.)

    Can somebody explain to me why Kosi was penalised for an unrealistic attempt at marking when the only person that he touched was TMac.?????

    Can already predict the post match interview from Goodwin.

    Find a more enjoyable hobby I think. 

    It’s a weird psychological thing isn’t it? I literally did not enjoy one single second of that quarter, but I’m settling in for the second half, knowing I probably won’t enjoy that either, because I can’t bear not watching for the the 1% chance I might get some joy. I’m sick. We’re sick.

    106 hb's to 80 kicks

    More i50s

     

    We're playing the same as we play every week. 

     

    Wtf does Goodwin even do FFS

    STUBBORN and USELESS

     

    Richmond 12 shots on goal from 18 entries. Stellar defending

    Glad we paid all that money for lever so we could play Joel Smith on Riewoldt and get 2 touches from Lever. He would wanna play the rest of his career on a minimum contract.

    Perfect kick to TMac - easily outmarked.

    Oliver is getting a heap of the ball and I don't reckon 1 kick has spun like a drop punt. And he simply cannot hit a target by foot.

    Not sure what has happened to Fritsch, but he looks sub-AFL 

    We can't take a mark inside 50, ans when we do our skills and decision making are horrendous.

    I am so disappointed... again... or is it still

    Can’t believe I voluntarily give up hours of my life for this. Sigh. 

    There's a new group, Demons Anonymous 

    I'll be your sponsor Nash 

    Richmond don't rate us. It's all about them getting their act together and whoever they are playing today is irrelevant. We're not relevant.

    Big loss coming up...we are awful!

    No skills and no system...so difficult to watch. Pressure should be on the coaching staff

    Coaching staff doing an outstanding job

    What a hopeless team we are. We lack class and we continue to play ordinary players like Hannan, Vandenberg, Lockhart and Rivers in front of our only classy player in Bennell as I already said shocking decision. Another bad quarter that has cost us the game it always happens under Goodwin. He must go, Roos's decision to get an Essendon clown in has been a flop. We must have a go at a coach that has premiership experience and that is Yze from Hawthorn. 100% of the blame must go on the coach the sooner he is sacked the better.


    The coach doesn't had a [censored] clue and the player's are devoid of confidence and skill are dumb and not to mention soft.

    Get rid of the entire coaching group they are useless.

    This is classic Melbourne under Goodwin. 

    We’ve had more disposals, more CPs, more clearances, more tackles, more inside 50s, but fewer shots on goal and we’re losing.

    That quarter was 9 inside 50s each. 

    If you’re blaming the defenders you don’t get it. 

    It’s all about our turnovers. They have 7 goals, 5 are from turnovers. Most of them are awful kicks inside 50 which don’t get marked. Fritsch has missed about 6 kicks. Oliver too. VDB in the first quarter under no pressure missed TMac in a paddock.

    We are moronic for not picking a second tall forward. Fritsch is getting belted and will be physically destroyed if we don’t get another body down there to help, because TMac is being blanketed. 
     

    Instead,  we picked all of Hannan, Melksham and VDB. It’s not working.

    Nothing was more obvious than Melbourne playing Richmond back into form. 
     

    No they’re not, Rich still average.... Dees so much worse.

    Goody has half a match left to try and save his sinking ship.  Try something different Goody for once in your coaching career!

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
