Premiership contenders don't lose to teams like Adelaide.    We might make a prelim but we wont win the flag.

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

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
