    That zorko clap is so infuriating, hopefully may flattens that [censored].

    Umpiring pretty soft gifting a few goals but we got flogged that QTR lucky to still be in it.

    He is a [censored] of the highest order

    Brisbane pressure is another level compared to last week. 

    Midfield is getting slaughterted. Then again if Langdon, Weideman and others could kick we'd be level.

    Lever has been great.

    Harmes is too slow - has been caught 3 times holding the ball. Where is Brayshaw?

    The midfield not benefiting from Gawn must get down to coaching - Fagan is wiping the floor with Goodwin.

    It's no secret that he hates us and loves getting stuck in whenever he can.

    Max is smashing them, but our minds getting beaten to the ball....change that and were a chance......Viney has to better his delivery inside 50.

    Our intensity from last week seems to have been left there. Umps not helping with some horrible calls but we are always 2 steps behind. Weid started on fire but was not in the 2nd.Smashed in the middle. Gus needs to get involved but hes not alone.

    Gawn gets kneed in the back of the head by a show off going for mark of the year but gets nothing. Then Brisbane gets too high for what. They didn't even want to show it. Biased bull#%@#

    Disagree with the Gawn comment as raynor got hands on the ball, but [censored] disgusting umpiring on many other decisions, the worst thing - no comments from the commentators that should be unbiased also. Huddo the weasel called for a holding the ball with no prior. It’s disgusting. Cant wait for foxtel to go into receivership.

    Been saying this for years. Stupid people on here think hes a star. Lazy one way runner who can't kick


    Beaten in the middle and the contest, the difference in ability is clear. We won’t be winning this unless lions run out of steam

    Umpires deplorable.  Complete lottery.

    But with that level of midfield dominance they are eventually going to kick away

    Midfield is being slaughtered. Hopefully they can lift and the lions fall asleep like they did against geelong.

    Melbourne need to ask for a please explain by the AFL for this terrible umpiring.

    • 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.
