The match day coaching is appalling. When your pre-match plans are not working, you make adjustments. Well good coaches do.

    We still have a lot of passengers.

    Gawn may have just broken even with English 

    Harmes on Libba backfired, Bont did as he pleased, McCrae gets nearly 40. Our midfield was torched again.

    Josh [censored] Schache came from the wilderness and actually played a role.

    We are a fair way from our early season form, it doesn’t look like changing in a hurry either. If we are fair dinkum, the last 6 weeks warrant some big changes. We are just not hungry enough

    Those 2 fwd stoppage goals for Bont with all the time in the world were unforgivable from Harmes.

    The idea is to kick goals and we missed 8 (count them!) gettable shots tonight. Q1: Ben Brown, set shot from 30m. Kickett missed a snap in front. Q2: Petracca, a set shot from the boundary. Fritsch, set shot from 50 on sharp angle. Ben Brown, a poster. Q3: Petracca, a snap: out of bounds on the full. Q4: Ben Brown, shanked it, missed everything. Pickett, missed after the siren. The mid-field is creating the opportunities, but we are not translating it onto the scoreboard. We were in this game, could have won it.

    There are two wildly unbalanced stats from that game, and all the others are remarkably tight. We won hit outs 68-18. They won free kicks 25-11. Every sport at the top level should aspire to the best possible quality of adjudication. This was not that. It’s just not a level playing field out there.

    Harmes, Viney, Jordon, ANB are absolute battlers

    Our forward line is disgusting too 

    We have straight sets written all over the us 

    We need outside class and forwards for 2022

    • PREGAME: Western Bulldogs

      With only 3 games to go, all against Top 8 fancies, the Demons face a daunting task as they return to the MCG when they play the Western Bulldogs. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      The Demons return to town fresh off a thumping win over the back-to-back wooden spooners, the West Coast Eagles, played in front of a sparse crowd at Marvel Stadium, the same venue that hosted last week's heartbreaking loss.

    • 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.
