And here I was thinking today couldn’t get any worse.

They just got on one of those roles (the Hawkins off the ground, the Cameron on the line, the ball bouncing forward for them out of the centre).

I just want our boys to show what they can do. We aren’t 7 goals worse than this mob. We just need to stick together and support each other, and play our style.

Go the Dees!

    Anyone who thinks SPARGO is up to it is on drugs shocking!

     

    Yet we somehow lead in. inside 50s 30 - 27 ..... but no structure.

    Getting slaughtered in the middle. Leave Dogga in the ruck. Play Max forward. Move Tmac wing. More pressure on their mids

    Was Clarry playing Q2?

    One word. Uncompetitive when the finals heat comes on, and this IS a final. So much promise, so much hope, and bang. 7 goals in 10 minutes. That’s not just a fraudulent defence, that’s a contested embarrassment. In all honesty, who here thinks we can win the flag? And how? 

    Zero chance

     

    Out in straight sets I reckon! No response tonight is telling!

    The only comfort I'm taking is that the light is off us for now. Let Geelong, Port, Brisbane and co have it. If having this crap happen now means it not happening next week then so be it. 

    Going to Port isn't the worst thing in the world. Would give us the best chance to be battle hardened and my word if we do it over there we can do it anywhere.

    well that was a woeful quarter.  take oliver out of the picture we fall apart, especially with Petracca being held. too many passengers, we cannot handle their short game and our kicking efficiency sucks big 

    That was interesting for a while but its a long way to a flag now.

    Im sick of playing cats at kardinia but playing like this i guess it doesnt matter.

    Typical Melbourne, all season we have sat on top and in the final game we will butcher a chance to play a home final somewhere, instead we will have to travel to Adelaide to play port in front of there fans. 

     

    So the non-call deliberate against Adelaide has cost us top spot and a 'home' final.

    This is why we need more quality midfielders. After Oliver and Petracca it's slim pickings with Harmes Sparrow and Viney all having significant flaws.

    Can't expect Oliver and Petrecca to dominate all games all season long, and when their output drops its noticeable.

    We've covered for this by having an amazing defence, which works against lesser teams, but it's going to be found out in the finals and now.

    the good news is that we won't see geelong again before the prelim and it's our choice of venue.

    The smart coaching move here is to experiment but are we smart.

    By the way the code for experiment is to protect the team's pshyce from a thrashing

    Yes it is they are pumped

    This is what happens time and time again. We put all our expectations on the Melbourne football club. They let us down. We will start all over again and again. They will let us down again and again.

    I’m confident we will step up in the second half. We have stepped up all season when questions have been so I’m confident we will again. Result doesn’t matter at this stage but we need some sort of form to head into next week with. We can’t be as bad second half. Cmon dees

    think some supporters need to cool their jets here. We ain’t winning 7 in a row to win the flag. A tune up here and beat Port at home isn’t too bad. We haven’t lost twice in a row all year and there’s no way we’re losing 3 in a row.

    I'd go for the posts. The willful abuse of some of the players in this thread is just depressing.

    • 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?

      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.
