Great goal to the yellow guys,

some ...yellow/red/black

I can only distinguish Red& baby blue and the other guys with a bit of yellow.

We're in trouble!

Unless... the weapon is released to play his natural game

Mids keep it going forward

Free space/block/ruck it to ground/ create space and allow Harvey do his stuff

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.

That was 50 every time. It’s pure cheating. 

I thought we had been stiff from the umpires to date....

This game is setting a whole new bench mark, this is just [censored].

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

Oh yeah forgot about that... 

Playing for the spoon here boys. Deplorable how bad this team is. Salem so undisciplined and just plain crap.


Remember how we talk about how we're this 'competitive beast' team with too many inside mids?

We're getting done in clearances by the worst clearance team in the league.

 

 

Would it hurt for one of our players to stay on the outside of the contest instead of all running for the ball like it’s under 10’s? Also, [censored] the umpires.

How ANB gets a game I’ll never know. 

Who would you bring in Jaded when a small fwd goes out?


Is it still a thing where the captain can approach the umpires and stay what TF?

Saw that

And you can see the umpire saw it too, and thought about it, vut decided bot to pay it

Gutless is the word you're looking for?

Well Oliver is looking really good out there.

Bennell a waste of space, finished as a footballer lucky no draft picks involved.


In my 100% honest opinion I'd say we are a 10th place side. A perfectly average team. Nothing more, nothing less.

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?

Regards

Every [censored] Melbourne Supporter
 

Agree re the umpires. However we have done nothing to get any favourable commentary. Notwithstanding, McGuire and Brererton are vacuous nonentities.

What a pathetic display of footy. 

Our kicking in general, bar the odd one here and there (mostly to players 20 meters in the clear but even then it's a coin flip) is bloody awful.

Even senior players have no ability to finesse and just take a little power off, & pull a kick to a leading player.  It's horrid.  It's been a problem at this club for 50 years!

It looks that way, which means Josh Mahoney needs to go.

11 more free kicks to the crows is an easy 4 goals.

I'd bring in any bloke off the street.

He's legit the worst footballer that's ever pulled on this jumper.

We wish.

And Derwit has just explained why the sling tackle has become so 'standard'. The umpires paying ridiculous holding the ball frees has meant the ball carrier is desperate to get boot to ball when their arm is held, they lose control of their body. The tackler is desperate to prevent them from disposing of the ball and that is the best way to do it.

Gil, you have [censored] this sport and put players lives at risk. I hope you get your ars sued to kingdom come.

  • 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.
