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: 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.

      It's Game Day and the Demons have traveled to Alice Springs to take on the Saints and they have a massive opportunity to build on the momentum of two big wins in a row and keep their finals hopes well and truly alive.
