Haven’t had a chance to see the first half. But just looking at the stats we consistently have a lot of players that don’t get much of the ball. Rely on about 4 mids at that’s it. 

 

Club is cooked. 

If we win this i hope we do NOT sing the song. 

Brayshaw, ANB, Salem, Fritsch.  Please all of you take the next flight back to Melbourne and don't ever appear for this club again.

    I'm most annoyed about the lack of 50 when we finally got a holding the ball free kick and Talia just drops the ball to the ground.

    Saw that

    And you can see the umpire saw it too, and thought about it, but decided not to pay it

    ANB, AVB, Brayshaw, Bennell- pathetic non-contributors. Langdons disposal is disgraceful. Very little from Lockhart or Tomlinson. We carry too many substandard players 

    We are a rabble.

    Can't see any logic in Goodwin continuing. Into his fourth season there is no evidence that he can imprint a method on his players that wins games and stands up under pressure.

    Salem .. 50% disposal efficiency, 8 clangers & 3 frees against. Our best players are going backwards at the rate of knots. 

    Right now, he can only hit a target 15-20 metres away under little pressure.  Anything else and he is next to useless.

    Dear Glen Bartlett,

    If you want to do something to show this club is serious ask the AFL publicly to explain the free kick differential, and while you are at it ask them to explain the horrifically biased and one sided commentary we have to sit through as supporters.

    Enough is enough. Collingwood wouldn’t accept it, and why should we?

    Any other team would make a formal complaint about this umpiring.

    I'm at the game and the umpiring is diabolical, plus our entries as usual below par.

    Our young players are too conscious of handballing it off rather than taking opportunities. 

    That screams over coached and scared to make the “right decision”.

    Yep this team is trash. This game just looks and feel like a bottom two clash. I'm not looking forward to getting beaten by 6 goals by norf on Sunday 

    I’m not looking forward to giving north pic 2 either. 


    Can’t seem to kick, take a contested mark, receive the ball, collect a ground ball, keep on our feet or aim a tackle below shoulder height. Glad we are fit though. 
     

    bloody frustrating.

    Bottom club with a 19 clearances to 12 lead at half time. 

    Bartlett’s spray isn’t working.

    We could win by 10 goals and it won't matter. This team and this coach don't have it. Need to cut our loses. Fail quickly. We are just letting this drag on now.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      There was a time during the current Melbourne cycle that goes back to before the premiership when the club was the toughest to beat in the fourth quarter. The Demons were not only hard to beat at any time but it was virtually impossible to get the better them when scores were close at three quarter time. It was only three or four years ago but they were fit, strong and resilient in body and mind. Sadly, those days are over. This has been the case since the club fell off its pedestal about 12 months ago after it beat Geelong and then lost to Carlton. In both instances, Melbourne put together strong, stirring final quarters, one that resulted in victory, the other, in defeat. Since then, the drop off has been dramatic to the point where it can neither pull off victory in close matches, nor can it even go down in defeat  gallantly.

    • CASEY: Footscray

      At twenty-four minutes into the third term of the game between the Casey Demons and Footscray VFL at Whitten Oval, the visitors were coasting. They were winning all over the ground, had the ascendancy in the ruck battles and held a 26 point lead on a day perfect for football. What could go wrong? Everything. The Bulldogs moved into overdrive in the last five minutes of the term and booted three straight goals to reduce the margin to a highly retrievable eight points at the last break. Bouyed by that effort, their confidence was on a high level during the interval and they ran all over the despondent Demons and kicked another five goals to lead by a comfortable margin of four goals deep into the final term before Paddy Cross kicked a couple of too late goals for a despondent Casey. A testament to their lack of pressure in the latter stages of the game was the fact that Footscray’s last ten scoring shots were nine goals and one rushed behind. Things might have been different for the Demons who went into the game after last week’s bye with 12 AFL listed players. Blake Howes was held over for the AFL game but two others, Jack Billings and Taj Woewodin (not officially listed as injured) were also missing and they could have been handy at the end. Another mystery of the current VFL system.

    • PREGAME: Brisbane

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.
