    Im very critical of Goodwin but this is purely about our midfielders not working hard enough. Oliver and Brayshaw need to lift a lot.

    Playing Melksham in the midfield falls on Goodwin. Playing Baker also. Goodwin cannot go out there and play himself though, so the players largely have to take most the brunt. However, Goodwin hasn’t helped us much today. 

    Why would you replace Viney when a soft outside player who can’t kick? Why not keep Gus and Ed on the wings and bring in Sparrow or Hunt as a direct replacement? Utter arrogance. 
    Brown will take a while to warm up. He looks totally out of touch and misjudging the ball.

    One of the most frustrating things about being a Melbourne supporter is that we give the football watching world legitimate reasons to ridicule us. This is why. It’s not crazy to say we’re the only club who consistently offers up these opportunities. Unless we come out with something perhaps even more extraordinary, we ARE going to lose this game, and it COMPLETELY negates any argument that we are flag contenders. We simply can’t be.

    Baker is not AFL standard.

    Melksham awful.

    Gawn has been dominated by Goldstein.

    Oliver and Trac need to get a hold of the midfield. 

    McDonald missing.

    North not missing a kick.

    I'm already walking to my car. [censored] frauds.

     

    I feel we lost it as soon as it wasn’t relocating to Marvel. We can’t play on this ground. Full stop.

    Baker should never play a game again.

    Hibberd to cunnington. Kozzie in the middle, petracca fwd

     

    I'd like to at least see that

     

    Cunnington getting 400 possessions every time we play them is infuriating

    Hibberds getting taught a lesson down back. 

    They are out working us, pure and simple. Every time it hits the deck they are outnumbering us. They have been able to get heaps of uncontested possessions, just like teams traditionally have against us. They aren’t going anywhere, and this is going to be a massive scrap to try and get out of here with the points. So filthy.

    Maxy just Taps it straight to the opposition , no wonder we are losing clearance

    Did you just see tomilson with his mobile phone in the change room??? Could be issues later in the week

    FFS...should know better. Can understand he was upset but should know better. On the positive even a suspension wouldnt affect him.

    A good summary


    Air could easily go out of the entire season if we can’t turn this around...

    Could have been the authorised one. 
     

    Is this game going to be a bit like Keating’s “recession we had to have”?

    Just so soft and untrustworthy. 

    I thought at worst North might drag us down to their level before we eventually imposed ourselves, similar to the hwaks game. But the truth is North are playing us off the park. They are ahead on merit and we don;t deserve anything out of this game from here. The only hope we have is if North choke but i can't see it happening. 

    Max is having his worst game ever with plenty of others not far behind. Trac the only one who has fronted up. Credit to him. Fritsch and Kozzie have done ok as well. the rest have been deplorable.

    Never completely place your trust in Melbourne. Not now. Not ever.

    I still think we’ll win but Jesus we need about ten players to pull their finger out to pull this off.

    It's people like you that are the problem. 'I still think we'll win'. Its a mindset like that that put us in this position to begin with. No idea which game you're watching but we're getting hammered all over the park.

    Anyone else want to talk up Melksham?? He does not go anywhere near hard enough.Spargo has no tricks as I have said for a long time

    No excuse , perfect conditions

    Was really looking forward to winning this and bring on top. Now I’ve just accepted that we will lose and I’m just praying that it’s not a smashing

    • NON-MFC: Round 15

      As the Demons head into their Bye Round, it's time to turn our attention to the other matches being played. Which teams are you tipping this week? And which results would be most favourable for the Demons if we can manage to turn our season around? Follow all the non-Melbourne games here and join the conversation as the ladder continues to take shape.

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
