Some of us have seen our supporters getting carried away repeatedly after beating up on garbage teams only to fold when we come up against a half decent side. 

 

Told you so.

100% we fold under pressure. Watch how the saints absolutely smack us with there pressure.

    GLyon is spot on. Dumb footballers and even worse coaching. They don’t understand the basics and can’t read the game situation.

    why kick it to them!!!!


    Doggies mids showing ours all day how its done. Some serious broom sweeping rquired at the end of the year. Given how much we spent on fixing our backline can we please do the same at the other?

    Despite the last 3 weeks of blind support by most of is, its fair to say the pressure is back on the coach again. If we dont play finals and its more than likely after today we wont, then does Goodwin deserve a pass.

    If so then next is make or break for him.

    Oh man I’m so angry. After the second quarter I got my hopes up. 
     

    once a decent team with their best team in put pressure on, we crumble

    So @big_red_fire_engine do you still want to disagree with me that Bontempelli should be tagged?

    WTF why does our coach refuse to tag key players?

     

    Harmes is a defender now ?

    Just switch the TV off. I did. Can't watch anymore.

    I’m pointing my finger at everyone under 6’2. Skills, setups, defending, missed tackles. Beaten comprehensively by an mid-table at best team.

    I think it's fair to say the par score for this season given our last few would surely be to finish in the 8, no it would be a fail as far as I'm concerned if we don't make it (and the equation's just gotten pretty tough now).

    We need a semi rebuild.

    • 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.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.
