Too many passengers today. Max, Kozzie and Lever the only players on their game. We need more from Oliver, Trac, Viney and Tmac. Ground ball work is sub-par. Not locking the ball into our I50. Come on Spargs and Nibbler.

Jones looks like an old man today. Pains me to say it.

The coaches will earn their wages at half-time. the Hawks will re-group and come out firing again.

A nerve shredder coming up folks

    On the plus side, we couldn't play any worse and are 2 points down.

    The obvious negative being we couldn't play much worse...

    Hibberd is playing well.

    Keeps his spot no doubt next week. In Jetta, Out Petty.

    Our forward pressure which has been a trait of ours this year is almost non-existent.

    What a pack of whingers these Hawthorn supporters are. Every free kick to us is apparently a travesty.
    We are holding up well and haven't allowed them to get off the chain. They have also done a great job in closing the game up. However, we need to get our act together on forward fifty entries. We need to find more run and dash heading in as the pinpoint, lead up game is allowing them to pick us off too easily.

    Not really. The chop of the arms was there. they have paid the obvious ones to us. It’s the 50-50’s that are not being called for us

    14 frees to 6 our way. Multiple goals from frees. Agree with those frees you're talking about but I dont think im that far wide of the mark.

    Lever is amazing and Max is great. Jones and Petty are shocking. Jackson needs to hold his marks. And it would really help they all could kick!

    We seem to have lost that mid to forward connection again! And set shot accuracy!!!

    We seem a bit rattled and the Hawks brought it today. A bit of composure, clean it up in the second half and keep at it, then we should pull away. Need to respond and not drop the heads

    technically it was Hibberd for May, and Fritsch for Petty.

    but i see your point

    2 F50 tackles. No longer doing what has made the difference lately 

    Still time to tidy it up. Viney will come out firing after coping a low blow

    Hopefully he can fire them up

    Hawks are playing just as bad as us the only difference is our poor kicking

    Loving Jackson’s work around the ground. He’ll be unstoppable if he starts clunking marks more consistently.

    Spot on.

    And if Melksham plays like this for another half Ill start writing angry letters to the club again.

    I don’t care if it’s ugly. We just have to win from here. We’re killing ourselves with our skills which are WAY down.

    Legitimate teams win games like this.

    Just need to get it done.

    So May and Fritta are big outs in case anyone was wondering.

    A better quarter than the first at least. Backline just starting to get their [censored] together. Without much confidence I think we’ll get over the line but geeze if we play like this we’re in for a hiding next week.

    Really happy with Hibbo’s game. The biggest positive so far.

    Can someone explain how that last play was a free against Jackson?

    could not see why it was paid

      After four weeks on the road the Demons make their long awaited return to the MCG next Sunday to play in a classic late season dead rubber against the North Melbourne Kangaroos. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.

    • WHAT’S NEXT? by The Oracle

      What’s next for a beleagured Melbourne Football Club down in form and confidence, facing  intense criticism and disapproval over some underwhelming recent performances and in the midst of a four game losing streak? Why, it’s Adelaide which boasts the best percentage in the AFL and has won six of its last seven games. The Crows are hot and not only that, the game is at the Adelaide Oval; yet another away fixture and the third in a row at a venue outside of Victoria. One of the problems the Demons have these days is that they rarely have the luxury of true home ground advantage, something they have enjoyed just once since mid April.
