[censored] abysmal. How long must we wait to support an average team, let alone a good one?

    I think the question of who was missing their puppy has been answered.

    That was easily the softest physical display by any team this year...and possibly other than some of our own performances it may have been one of the softest across the league for the last 5 years.

    Beaten physically and no f*&ks given. Multiple players $hat themselves at the physical contact and flicked the ball away. An absolutely disgusting performance by every single player who took the field tonight.

    'gutted' and 'ashamed' are the first polite words that come to my mind.

    Dogs breakfast. Nobody had a half decent game. After some good signs, that hurts big time.

    I can feel that numb, dead feeling circa Neeld era starting to wash over me. 
     

    I just don’t care anymore.

    Hot garbage.

    Even if the boys were tired.

    And that's a big IF, because it's clear that the guys couldn't be arsed tonight, I just want to toy with the hypothetical.

    Why the dumb football?

    And the complete lack of heart?

    And the lack of any semblance of a gameplan? (does fatigue affect the coach?).

    We're channeling the 1970s when I was a (depressed) kid.

    They're confused and without a decent system. 

    It's a mess.

    Wasn't it though? Effectively a ten goal win.  Put them away early and didn't give them a sniff. Feel for the Melbourne boys though. They were inept.

    Are they going to blame the 4 day break?

    This was line in the sand stuff

    Almost threw up every time I heard it. They had a 5 day break and a cross country trip.

    Only positive I can come up with is that I got some good stats from Boak & Wines in my Ultimate Footy side....

    Laziness is the key thing I take from today's game. Goodwin should be giving the whole squad a massive rocket for just being plain lazy from the first bounce. Petracca seemed to be trying but couldn't get anything to work. Sparrow had a go, Lockhart tried. Hibberd and Lever seemed to be trying but were caught out too often. Pickett and Jackson excused for their inexoerience. The rest of them can get [censored].

    I truly wish I never got into footy as a youngster, I really could’ve done without the misery this club has put me through over the years

    • PREGAME: Western Bulldogs

      With only 3 games to go, all against Top 8 fancies, the Demons face a daunting task as they return to the MCG when they play the Western Bulldogs. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      The Demons return to town fresh off a thumping win over the back-to-back wooden spooners, the West Coast Eagles, played in front of a sparse crowd at Marvel Stadium, the same venue that hosted last week's heartbreaking loss.

      It’s Game Day and the Demons return to the scene of the crime to take on the wooden spooners.

    • 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.
