We are so far off it, it's not funny. Still only 5 points down.

Baker is a poor footballer.

 

Not working hard enough at all. Getting schooled in the uncontested 82 to 46. Need a rocket up the pants 

Doubling us in uncontested possessions. Absolutely inexcusable. 
Total lazy rubbish. Too many players ball watching. Fritta our only winner. 
Gawn and Oliver properly drinking it up. 


We are being outplayed, outmatched, outmarked snd outsmarted by the bottom team. This is ridiculous. Pull your head in dees ?

    North have been starting games well and it's unsurprising they're giving us some cheek.  However, there's only a goal in it and I'm confident we'll still win and win well.

    Shame about Thommo.  Come on down, Harry Petty.

    Isn't he out injured as well?  Maybe get White on the list (again)!

    Baker too one dimensional, plain and simple 

    Has not been good.

    Poor Harmes.

     

    Watching Tomlinson is breaking my heart. It’s just so so awful.

    North have done this most game this season but fallen away in the second half. Still we look a bit off.

    North have started several games well this year. The trend is they always drop off in the second half.

    No need for panic.

    Yet.

    Based on the quality of the teams we should be six goals up by now.

    Well that was borderline embarrassing. 
     

    Midfield getting spanked. 


    Melksham tagging Zeibel? If so, he’s doing a terrible job.

    We just don’t look up to it today 

    Losing Viney and Tomlinson hasnt helped but yea we look flat .

    Petty was named as an emergency for this game, so it seems like he's ok to go.

    Missing Viney big time

    Gawn has got to get his [censored] together. You’re the captain. Stand up.

    Very lazy today and playing like trash, yet still only a few points down. Once we get going we should get well on top.

    Sidenote, Baker is not up to it. Doesn’t ha e the smarts, skills or stamina on the wing or in the middle. Only chance left to save his career is as a pressure forward IMO. His only good game at afl level thus far was when he kicked a few ripping goals. 

    Ok this start doesn't surprise me. But Christ we need to lift. 

    Shattered for Tomlinson. 

    We need to start manning up on them. The uncontested count is disgraceful. 

    Lift Melbourne

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      There was a time during the current Melbourne cycle that goes back to before the premiership when the club was the toughest to beat in the fourth quarter. The Demons were not only hard to beat at any time but it was virtually impossible to get the better them when scores were close at three quarter time. It was only three or four years ago but they were fit, strong and resilient in body and mind. Sadly, those days are over. This has been the case since the club fell off its pedestal about 12 months ago after it beat Geelong and then lost to Carlton. In both instances, Melbourne put together strong, stirring final quarters, one that resulted in victory, the other, in defeat. Since then, the drop off has been dramatic to the point where it can neither pull off victory in close matches, nor can it even go down in defeat  gallantly.

    • CASEY: Footscray

      At twenty-four minutes into the third term of the game between the Casey Demons and Footscray VFL at Whitten Oval, the visitors were coasting. They were winning all over the ground, had the ascendancy in the ruck battles and held a 26 point lead on a day perfect for football. What could go wrong? Everything. The Bulldogs moved into overdrive in the last five minutes of the term and booted three straight goals to reduce the margin to a highly retrievable eight points at the last break. Bouyed by that effort, their confidence was on a high level during the interval and they ran all over the despondent Demons and kicked another five goals to lead by a comfortable margin of four goals deep into the final term before Paddy Cross kicked a couple of too late goals for a despondent Casey. A testament to their lack of pressure in the latter stages of the game was the fact that Footscray’s last ten scoring shots were nine goals and one rushed behind. Things might have been different for the Demons who went into the game after last week’s bye with 12 AFL listed players. Blake Howes was held over for the AFL game but two others, Jack Billings and Taj Woewodin (not officially listed as injured) were also missing and they could have been handy at the end. Another mystery of the current VFL system.

    • PREGAME: Brisbane

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.
