    I'm trying to fathom why we would play a head to head running game in the third quarter against a strong breeze. I'm sure there's more than that but...boy oh boy

    Bog ordinary effort but credit to the Doggies who played the conditions much better.

    Our old friend ****ty disposal/ turnover played a top game.

    There's a few blokes up for a rest next week you'd reckon, which is now a make or break game.

    What have you got Goodie?

    Utter disgraceful.

    Melksham, Harmes, McDonald,  Hibbo, Fritsch, 

    All disgraced the jumper.

    Goodwin shown up for a poor coach he is. Plan B? Where was that Goody? [censored] clueless as usual.

    What a stinker!  They waltzed away from half back, we jogged around the park.  Backline were superb, Kudos to Weideman and Fritsch in the f50.  Beaten comprehensively.  No system to stop them, poor skills (maybe the conditions) and wilted completely under pressure.

    Really disappointing across the board, with only a few who can hold their head up.

    Kozzie has some spark, but lots of flaws (pushes in the back too much).  COuldnt get near it with any value today.  

    They need another kick up the bum.  This measures us as a mid table also-ran team.

    We played two bottom sides and a severely depleted collingwood on a short break. 
    We needed to prove ourselves against a good midfield today and we were shown up.

    Teams always get us with pressure and run.

    We have no answers.

    We are not that good.

    Death, taxes and Melbourne being found under pressure. Nothing more certain in life. 
     

    When the heat is on we fall apart. That is players and that is coaching. I don’t mind wanting to go head to head, but when that very very clearly was not working, did anyone in the box think to make a change? 
     

    I am fed up being downhill skiers. This is yet another wasted season. Even if we make finals, we are no chance to beat anyone in the 8, so what is the point? 
     

    Sadly Hibbo, Melksham, Pickett, Hannan, Spargo, Harmes and McDonald are just not good enough to be in the 22 right now for a variety of reasons. We got nothing from our star mids, which is an ongoing issue in tough games. And our structure is an absolute joke that falls apart quicker than a house of cards in a tornado.

    We are not, the real deal. 
     

    Will be a miracle to make finals but we’d only be imposters if we did.

    Doggies played very well today; they’re a hot and cold side and today they brought their best.  We weren’t able to match them.

    Goodwin that’s why, he always has the team try win shoot outs against the wind opposed to turning it into a bog for a nil nil draw. Absolutely rubbish coaching.

    • 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.
