Greene destroying Hibbo, getting smashed on the outside, Viney missing kicks.

We are lazy.

We lost this at selection.

Our fwd line has been struggling for weeks and we arrogantly do nothing about it.

    We have to win the ball at the contest. Our plan to win it back in 50 is killing us around the contest.

    You get the feeling this will be an absolute belting. Not great for a hangover. Might take the arvo off and check in later.

    Have we been 25 points down at any point this year?


    I won’t discuss implications for the season. Just this game. But we need to pull our finger out at clearances. They are getting a flood of forward 50’s.

    No one flies for a mark and Davis takes it surrounded by 4 dees players. 
     

    We are super lazy today and this game is about to getaway from us in a biiiiiiiiig way.

    Nah, the fact we are in this position shows we are pretenders.


    Predictable rubbish down the flanks every flaming time kick it

    Going to get a good old belting today. Just not top 2 or top 4 material for that matter. Yes defence is great but we are really poor in attacking. 
     

    remember the Giants have many starting 22 injuries while we are just about full squad.

    Why the [censored] did marghetts stop the GWS player. It’s not for him to instruct players to avoid a further penalty. 


    We're being shown up by the Giants, a team beaten by the Hawks. For any one who has chosen to deny we've been on the slide for a while, here's some proof. We've found some ways to win some games, which is ok, but largely we've struggled, particularly against poor opponents, and this is yet another example. 

    Even if we find a way to win this, these half game brain fades just give teams unnecessary look ins for games. 

    This is embarrassing.

    Good call. Game over now.

    Last week bombers weren't  good enough. Gws are class and we're a 5 to 8th team.  Selection forward strategy non existent.

    • WHAT’S NEXT? by The Oracle

      What’s next for a beleagured Melbourne Football Club down in form and confidence, facing  intense criticism and disapproval over some underwhelming recent performances and in the midst of a four game losing streak? Why, it’s Adelaide which boasts the best percentage in the AFL and has won six of its last seven games. The Crows are hot and not only that, the game is at the Adelaide Oval; yet another away fixture and the third in a row at a venue outside of Victoria. One of the problems the Demons have these days is that they rarely have the luxury of true home ground advantage, something they have enjoyed just once since mid April.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.
