[censored] putrid. 
 

A team with 10 players under 35 games who had desire vs a supposedly top team with zero game plan and zero desire and zero inspiration.

Call Clarko and see if he wants a job next year.


That would have to be the worst spectacle of football since Melb v St K, round 16, 1981.

And absolutely the worst umpired game since Fitz vs Ess, round 3, 1921.

But really. 11 13 to 12 7. At 15 9 to 12 7 it's game over. How many chances does this team need to put away another team?

Also it helps when you play in front. And when you don't give them a sniff. As good as a loss.

I can't believe I wasted my Saturday night watching this. Even with lockdown and next to no other options, pretty much anything else would have been preferable.

No redeeming points from this game. We'll never earn trust or be feared until we put lower teams away. Again, just for reference the Hawks got smashed by 60+ last week, against FREO.

Embarrassing.

 

Brayshaw and Pickett dead in front should’ve converted. That being said, Hawthorn probably deserved that game. We aren’t playing well. Lucky to draw that in the end. 

Absolutely pathetic, zero leadership hopefully Covid ends the season would be less painful than watching these pretenders for another 2 months 


Nothing about this season is real.....

Still No 1.

3rd or 4th game for the year where we got on a bit of a run with Jackson in the ruck, brought Gawn back in and it went the other way.

This time it cost us the game.

I'm sorry but when are people going to start realising that I speak the truth! This was a bloody disgrace and top 4 is out of the question now. Most likely playing richmond round 1. Good job guys!

How about Fritschs set shot with under five minutes to go. He chose to chip it to the top of the goal square for a ten man contest ffs.

A point would have made all the difference. So dumb, so lazy. The whole team. 


Our midfielders are making a habit of picking when to go. That’s the difference for us. 

I can’t have Viney in our midfield mix. He’s just way too one dimensional. Can’t kick, and too slow. We don’t look anywhere near as dynamic with him in there. 

We will respond next week, but it’s becoming an issue that we even need to. I feel like our midfield is a few years off having the emotional maturity to contend over a full season.

Lucky to get anything out of that game.

We won one quarter tonight. One. Against the 17th ranked side missing something like 10 best 22 players.

We have a clear, blatant problem of failing to play our best football against bad sides. We've played five games against the bottom 4 for two wins, and the two wins were average.

We are going to cost ourselves ladder position from leaving 10 premiership points behind in these games.

You could see it at half time: having conceded three goals in 10 minutes, Petracca and Oliver were laughing. I dare say you wouldn't see Joel Selwood laughing at half time of any game. 

But even despite our terrible play, we still had 5 more scoring shots. Again, our inaccuracy in front of goal costs us premiership points. They kicked something like 8 straight goals through the middle of the game whilst we missed shot after shot. Even at the end, in a game where we needed a point, Spargo, Pickett, Fritsch and Brayshaw all had set shots for a combined two points. 

This isn't a gameplan or talent problem. It's a psychological problem, coupled with goalkicking inaccuracy.

 

if there's any silver lining, it's probably not going to matter to our overall ladder position because Geelong and Footscray will finish with higher percentages than us anyway, so it's somewhat like a win when you think about it that way.

Performance, however... putrid

Man, to serve that up against that rabble. I wanna spew up.

First game of the year we didn't win where the other team weren't good. [censored] me they are average. And to draw against them? Yuck.

  • 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.
