Smith Macdonald Tomlinson say no more and people rate this team. Delusional

This is pathetic. We’re making this lot look like the Harlem Globetrotters. 

 

Swans killing the witches hats. Joke of a club.

    I didn't think that we could have a worse quarter than Q3 against the Dogs. I was wrong.

    I thought Jones would see hold his place until season's end. I was wrong.

    I thought we would win this one. I was completely and utterly wrong.

    Another Goaless quarter - we're famous for them! Weak as [censored]!!!!

    And yet people want to keep supporting the witches hat in the box. 

    These over the head handballs are a joke. 

    No other side does it as consistently as us.

    Alan Richardson lol

    That dude has no [censored] clue 

    Is he the opposition analyst? Only got it right one week

    HAHAHA ???

    The Fritsch handball.

    The Petracca kick.

    The Smith handball.

    The unaccountability.

    Is this team for real?  This is so embarrassing to watch.  

    Goodwin & Richardson have no idea how to stem the flow. 

    The sooner these jokers are gone the better. 

    Few players are past their used by date too. Looking at Jones.

    Why the duck is our forward setup?

    everyone stands 30out in a bunch, ball bombed to them, 10 players go up, all miss it

    This for two quarters driving me nuts

    Smith and McDonald are two of the worst players I've ever seen playing for Melbourne

    Another quarter without a goal,  how many more before Goody quits ?

    And like the Bulldogs it all just fell apart so quickly. Gee wiz

    How can we go from the Saints game, where our team defence and effort were excellent, so throwing this up against a vastly inferior football side?

    I don't get it.  I really don't.

    It always happens like that Wiseblood  nothing new been doing it to me for over 50 years !!  Bring on 2021

     

    How was that from Fritta and Trac?  Fritsch with the Hollywood handball and then Trac misses a 25 metre pass.  

    I don't know how many times I can use the word terrible in one thread, but that's what it was.

    What a joke of a first half.  An absolute disgrace.  Nothing positive from it.   We kicked 2 goals against a side in the bottom four.

    We look tired, disinterested and lazy.  We are playing arrogant, selfish football and we have paid the price big time.  

    And we deserve it.

    Well at least we have a brand of football that is visible to our supporters. It’s just no good. What a bunch of lazy players who cant handle expectation and refuse to play for each other.

    • CASEY: Sydney

      The Casey Demons were always expected to emerge victorious in their matchup against the lowly-ranked Sydney Swans at picturesque Tramway Oval, situated in the shadows of the SCG in Moore Park. They dominated the proceedings in the opening two and a half quarters of the game but had little to show for it. This was primarily due to their own sloppy errors in a low-standard game that produced a number of crowded mauls reminiscent of the rugby game popular in old Sydney Town. However, when the Swans tired, as teams often do when they turn games into ugly defensive contests, Casey lifted the standard of its own play and … it was off to the races. Not to nearby Randwick but to a different race with an objective of piling on goal after goal on the way to a mammoth victory. At the 25-minute mark of the third quarter, the Demons held a slender 14-point lead over the Swans, who are ahead on the ladder of only the previous week's opposition, the ailing Bullants. Forty minutes later, they had more than fully compensated for the sloppiness of their earlier play with a decisive 94-point victory, that culminated in a rousing finish which yielded thirteen unanswered goals. Kicks hit their targets, the ball found itself going through the middle and every player made a contribution.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      Hands up if you thought, like me, at half-time in yesterday’s game at TIO Traeger Park, Alice Springs that Melbourne’s disposal around the ground and, in particular, its kicking inaccuracy in front of the goals couldn’t get any worse. Well, it did. And what’s even more damning for the Melbourne Football Club is that the game against St Kilda and its resurgence from the bottomless pit of its miserable start to the season wasn’t just lost through poor conversion for goal but rather in the 15 minutes when the entire team went into a slumber and was mugged by the out-of-form Saints. Their six goals two behinds (one goal less than the Demons managed for the whole game) weaved a path of destruction from which they were unable to recover. Ross Lyon’s astute use of pressure to contain the situation once they had asserted their grip on the game, and Melbourne’s self-destructive wastefulness, assured that outcome. The old adage about the insanity of repeatedly doing something and expecting a different result, was out there. Two years ago, the score line in Melbourne’s loss to the Giants at this same ground was 5 goals 15 behinds - a ratio of one goal per four scoring shots - was perfectly replicated with yesterday’s 7 goals 21 behinds. 
      This has been going on for a while and opens up a number of questions. I’ll put forward a few that come to mind from this performance. The obvious first question is whether the club can find a suitable coach to instruct players on proper kicking techniques or is this a skill that can no longer be developed at this stage of the development of our playing group? Another concern is the team's ability to counter an opponent's dominance during a run on as exemplified by the Saints in the first quarter. Did the Demons underestimate their opponents, considering St Kilda's goals during this period were scored by relatively unknown forwards? Furthermore, given the modest attendance of 6,721 at TIO Traeger Park and the team's poor past performances at this venue, is it prudent to prioritize financial gain over potentially sacrificing valuable premiership points by relinquishing home ground advantage, notwithstanding the cultural significance of the team's connection to the Red Centre?

      After a disappointing loss in Alice Springs the Demons return to the MCG to take on the Magpies in the annual King's Birthday Big Freeze for MND game. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: St. Kilda

      After kicking the first goal of the match the Demons were always playing catch up against the Saints in Alice Spring and could never make the most of their inside 50 entries to wrestle back the lead.
