That’s true. I don’t think they can replicate this.

Absolutely they can. If they get rolling again we won't stop them.

We can do this.

Reset, get our contested possession back in order and get our forward conversation right.

C'mon boys we still in this!

    Why aren't people talking about that decision to gawn. I mean that was a goal right?

    Melbourne just need to resettle.

    Well it's a simple equation for here. If the club is as good as we want to believe they are, they can wrangle this back.

    If not... well... we all know the outcome.

    Half time couldn't come quick enough. Defensively at sea as soon as the ball hits the deck, beaten around the ball and the Bont showing his class. On ball brigade need to lift otherwise we're cactus. 

    We're re-set before and can do so again. Huge third quarter coming up. We can do this

    Must stop Daniel behind the ball, need to man up forward side of ruck contest 

    Neale-Bullen's job from what I can see. (could be wrong).

     

    Fritsch has been poor the whole finals series. His kicking inside 50 has been shaky, keeps trying a kick running parallel to the goals and has missed it multiple times.

    ANB is surely the answer.

    Why didn't we even see a review of that? It looked like a goal on the broadcast. Very confusing.

    Few worries. Daniel and Bont for Dogs.

    Kozzie, TMac and May for us.

    I feel a big surge coming this quarter. This will sort the men from pretenders.

    Can't let Bont mark uncontested, surely someone can get a fist on the ball

    Oliver. Gawn and Petracca ofter play best in 2nd half. Someone needs to put chains on Daniel.

    Gee May is a liability, not flying for the ball, caught well behind, fumbling the ball.

    Nothing to do with Goodwin, all on the forwards who are actually out on the field. Forward pressure is supposed to be one of our strengths.

    I feel sick right now. I just hope we can get our game together, the system has worked and can work again but we do need to stop the quick ball supply into their 50. 

    And when we get it we must lock it in our 50. When we do that and get a look at goal, take it. Come on Demons, it is not over until it is over.

    They don't have the camera angles to review that kind of goal. The camera angle we saw is just in the wrong spot.

     

    This half time  has less atmosphere than mars

    That second goal was sickening.

    Naughton clearly ran behind play and cut off Viney.

    We need to be better than this and account for their tactics. How did they not study this?

    • 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.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.
