I mean so many great tackles unrewarded, and that scrap gets rewarded to Buddy.

    Why are our tackles unrewarded?

    Gawns was a farce.

    If we dont fix our centre clearace issue goody we will lose.

    Trac needs to lift on six million bucks.

    Gus just rocking up.

    Too many sub par efforts in this game.

    Gawn into the middle and we lose all momentum. Jackson has to ruck out the game.

    I do not understand how holding the ball is a different rule in our goal square than it is everywhere else on the ground.

    Rampe took on Spargo and got done cold.

    I’m so annoyed about Fritsch kicking into the man on the mark.

    I’m furious.

    It should NEVER happen.

    He’s having a mare.

    Fritsche is having an absolute mare. Trac thinks he can plow through the entire Sydney team by himself. A bit of bighead about him this week with his new fat bank account.

    We should win this from here, but the Cats thought the same thing last week.

    Hes a kicked a goal but why is there just so much love for melksham?

    9 possies.

    Hes a passenger.

    Just once has he starred in a game thats all and got some votes?

    Be honest folks.

    Again, we dominate the first two thirds of the quarter but don’t convert that dominance into goals. 22 points was good but should have been 2-3 goals more. 

    Couple of critical moments go against us and we end up losing the quarter it’s only a 10 point margin.

    We must take our chances if we want to win this.

    Petty is nowhere near the level needed.

    As for Fritsch....................I’ve produced [censored] harder than he is. He is soft as puck.

    That was a pathetic performance by Gaen and the mids. Getting absolutely flogged in the clearences

    He’s been far from our worst - 15 possessions, 10 contested.

    Was ok in that quarter along with Nibbler and Salem

    Yep and Fritsch needs to lift and do the basics right. The kick into the man on the mark shows he's not switched on. Hunt playing well as is Langdon....

    Did some one forget to tell Fritta he got off. Cos seriously he would have been more effective in the stands. He has so far avoided every contest available. 
    Petty is no good. Any game he plays means we are a player down. 
    Trac tonight is believing the hype and getting caught by being selfish. 
    Max needs to actually lift and stamp his authority on the game.

     

    If Goodwin doesn’t work out the centre square set up we are behind the 8 ball.

    Need a big qtr. Swans have the momentum, we need to get the first 2 goals. 

     

    Sitting right in front of the Buddy HTB decision. The way he jumps on a stationary pack and turns around petulantly looking sat the umpire who pays it... Christ...

      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?
