Every quarter of every game for as long along as I can remember. Let's show how limp brained footballers we can be and give up a scoring chance in the last minute. I guess that's what bottom 8 teams do and that's us. 

 I'll just say it again FFS...... Again again and again.

    Why are you all blaming Smith? Hibberd gave tippinwuiti all the space that led to that goal.

    Essendon on the few occasions they’ve bothered, have transitioned the ball well. But our mids relax when the quarter is nearly over, drop their defensive set up and this [censored] happens. Every. Single. Time. 


    Are Melksham and Spargo playing?  We are 2 players short. (3 if we add Smith)

    You can hide players   but  how much hiding do we need to do with Smith.

    Our final quarter possibly for the season. Just win well melbourne, rub further salt into the essendon team and there fans. 

    No injuries either please. 

    Just keep going. 

     

    Poor quarter too defensive need to kick goals.

    Are Spargo and Milkshake even playing today?

    Delist Spargo, Smith, Neal-Bullen.  Dumb and lack intensity.  


    My god this is a boring game. Can’t hit targets, kick goals, don’t look in any words the centre when playing, always playing the boundary side and players casually jogging around.  
     

    This is pathetic. Most of the play is stop and start with no flow or system what so ever. 
     

    My son said he just wants the game to be over, it’s bloody boring and they keep turning it over. Says it all really.

    i dont understand why they do not know tippinwuti is going to run with the ball every change he gets, he keeps faking them out  and running around our players. thankfully he is not destroying us like he has in the past.

    Terrible quarter, the only reason we didn't lose it by a handful of goals is they are just so bad.

    How Melksham made it through the entire season without being dropped is just dumbfounding.

    Would be classic Melbourne if we lost from here, against a genuinely awful side playing bottom 2 football.

    Ugh another goal on the siren.

    Luckily we have a good lead. But we need to play like we did in that 2nd quarter. 

    Funny reading comments online from essendon fans that are saying how well mitch brown is playing and how essendon de listed him and they get stuck with daniher who has done nothing. 

     

    Given Daniher's combination of appalling set-shot kicking, general inconsistency and the dreaded osteitis pubis, I was staggered they delisted a tall forward with demonstrated 2019 goalkicking ability.

    Seeing tipungwuti create havoc for us shows the importance of chasing a Saad/Zac Williams type this off season. 

    Well this may well be our last quarter of 2020. Which Melbourne will turn up?


    I’m blaming Smith because SEN is blaming Smith, and it’s all I have to go on.

    Yeah milkshake is pointing and telling players where to go. He is like our very own traffic cop. Useless. 

     

    Just kick it to Hunt or Petracca. Only two forwards that can kick straight at the moment.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.

    • GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons are back on the road again and this may be the last roll of the dice to get their 2025 season back on track as they take on the Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium.
