The  Dogs and Lions will beat us the next two weeks.

    Kick randomly out of congestion, and without thought, opposition marks it: check

    Handball to teammate under pressure: check.

    Fumble the ball on the ground: check

    Miss simple marks: check

    Unpressured turnovers: check

    Don't do/give first option and get tackled: check.

    I just hope that is as bad as we get.

    I know we could have played better but that whistle blew straight away when Max was tackled. Seconds later a crows player disposes incorrectly...no whistle...mark and goal.

    But the icing on the cake was to not call that punch over the line not deliberate. No player there.

    They have been on that ALL YEAR FOR MUCH MUCH LESS.

    As soon as it can impact a crows game they change their minds.

    Come on.

    Really.

    If thats not bias umpiring there never has been.

    I just hope its discussed during the week because I need to know how it was justified.

    Edited by leave it to deever

    To blame anyone but ourselves for that loss is to wallpaper over the obvious cracks that have been there since we beat Richmond. 
    I hope this is the loss we had to have because boy did we play poorly for large chunks of that game. Oliver kept us in it,  but beyond that we had a really embarrassing amount of players who played like selfish millionaires. 
    In footy you get out what you put in. We put in no effort for an hour. We’ve been getting away with it, but eventually your luck runs out. 
    Salem is also basically our most important player. Our backline was exceptionally poor without him. He covers for the mediocrity of Hunt and Hibberd. 

    Our skills remain poor

    The one thing Goodwin hasn't managed to change

    Too many passengers today. Far far too many players just terrible. Clarry nearly got us out of jail but I would have felt that we’d stolen one. Terrible non-calls at the end. Never like to look at umpiring but the sport would be better if it was consistent.

    It looks like the Demonland server is also disgusted by a loss to the Crows? ?

    They wanted it more. The Maggots will be slipped a paper bag full on their way out. The sooner Viney and Salem are back the better. Our forward line was pathetic.

    It was a great game.

    Feel we were robbed but at the same time Crows earned it.

    The deliberate I could potentially understand with all the panic with 20s to go, but the holding the ball was as bad as the Zac Bailey one. Just gutless umpiring

    It's a shame, that was one of the all time great games from Clarry. And yet a couple of cowards in yellow ruined it. 

    Anyway we should never have let them get so close and I've never seen May and co play so badly.

    Not going to blame the umpires, it should never have been so close. 
     

    We’re too reliant on our defence

    Max is a liability with ball in hand.

    Oliver incredible game.

    Few blokes Hibberd, Hunt and others continually exposed one-on-one.

    Jackson is a machine.

    Weed was terrible.

    You shouldn't lose 16 points up with five minutes to go.

    Adelaide played a great game, the spectacle was actually awesome.

    We lost to a worthy performance IMO. Non calls hard not to dwell on tho

    We had too many passengers tonight, slow across the ground and general awareness was terrible. The run downnkn Max when we had 2 outliers....... Never Jetta is cooked, Salem is so critical to the back six

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      It was bad enough that the Melbourne Football Club created yet another humiliating scenario inside its wretched season at Marvel Stadium last Sunday, but the final insult is that it has been commanded to return to the scene of the crime to inflict further punishment on its fans this week. Incidentally, if this match preview, of a game that promises to be one of the most unattractive fixtures in the history of the game, happens to cut out of your computer screen three quarters of the way through, it’s no coincidence. I’ll be mirroring the Demons’ lacklustre effort against St Kilda from last Sunday when they conceded the largest last quarter turnaround for victory in the history of the game.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.
