Awesome Football were dishing up to the supporters and sponsors, they must be over the moon.

We showed for periods of the game we were really competitive.

???????????? 

Give yourself a pat on the back Simon.

Cant blame umps  we are just turnover kings, our half forwards playing from behind.

 

And almost every other player.

It might be my bias but I don’t remember the last time Oliver wasn’t held a a stoppage

How can a select few of us (too many deniers on here) see it at every stoppage? It is so frustrating when soft calls are paid to the opposition. 
 

 

Selection not looking great at the moment.

We drop Jetta for Sparrow, send Harmes into the backline where he has been a proven failure, and then put Sparrow into the middle who is nowhere near it, whilst leaving Brayshaw on a wing where he is no good.

Surely if we were going to free up centre bounce rotations for Sparrow, we could have made room for Brayshaw instead?

And then we bring TMac in for Bennell and TMac is somewhere stuck between trying to be a half-forward, a marking forward and a midfielder, and is none of them.

The skills in that last passage of play just before pt goalled were dog vomit. Especially from Oliver.

Like the use of "dog vomit" - no better way of describing it.


How does brayshaw continue to get games??? Yet Tomlinson was brought in for outside run & can’t get a game

Let's see how we respond in the second half. We can claw back 5 goals in the 3rd quarter if we play well. This isn't over yet.

Mate, we won’t kick 5 goals in the next 3 weeks

This Club just feeds us BS

Pure and Simple 

9 years to the day since 186 and we get served up that bile

Goodwin and Jones

Just go...

Reluctantly I have to agree. I've resisted accepting the calls for Goodies head. But if he doesn't make changes and can't get the charges up in the 2nd half, I'll need to rethink my support.

Jones is in the limelight of his career (a great career) but his time is nigh.

Clarkson is probably also gettable. Any of those 2 would be a hell of a lot better than what we have got. 

Clarkson will come only for the bucks or if his ego makes him think he’s god and can work miracles.

I bought a house today. Thanks MFC for destroying my mood.

Enjoy mate, hope it doesn’t burn down the like fing Melb Football Club.

How bad might we play when where mathematically out of finals contention. This is putrid when the season is on the line.

Why is Brayshaw not playing on ball ahead of Sparrow?

It's about time this paper team got a dose of reality!

Jones is finished.

T.McDonald can only play down back or trade him.

Salem needs to be traded.

Brayshaw must be traded.

Don't know what to do with Oliver? Just tell him to handball it.

Weideman must be traded.

Roos has [censored] us up the [censored]!

Picked the coach and Traded pick 2 for Salem and Tyson.

Add to that the poise and kicking skills that Bennell's omission robs us of.

Is there a forward apart from Fritsch that's got more than 2 possessions?

 

Weideman 1 (no marks), Hannan 1 (1 mark), Jackson 3 (no marks), Pickett 4, Melksham 4 (1 mark), TMac 4 (3 marks), Fritsch 6 (2 marks).

18 inside 50s for 1 mark inside 50.

How’s the server holding up? Good time for a stress test if you need to.

will be more fun than the second half

Well, that was a debacle. I’ve put a lot of our problems down to Goodwin previously, but this is down to effort, intensity and skill execution. Not even close to resembling our improved performance the last few weeks.

Anyone else feeling quietly confident about tonight's game?  I know that's not a normal feeling for Melbourne supporters as we probably have a closer relation to the feeling of dread, but I think we can knock these guys off.  

You and I are really good judges If the dee Wise ???

Dees never stop continuing to disappoint. 

Pathetic. There is no urgency tonight pure and simple. Skills are shocking. Pressure is shocking. Just pathetic all round

  • 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.

    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?
