Yikes. Ok so we're not going to win but I'd like us to at least show some ticker here otherwise we're sending a message to the rest of the comp that we can be beaten. Which I know we are. Everyone is. But this is not a premier's loss.

Haha I gotta live in a better place than we're in right now! Just hope we make this looks little more respectable.

no room for sentimentality......poor selection......four touches.

Wouldnt have made a big difference but like for like (for Lingers) it should've been Baker


Dwayne Russell is a [censored]. We’ve won 17 straight, 4 of our key players out, it’s the middle of the season & according to him this win may change the landscape of the season. 🤦‍♂️

    Don’t like how we’ve turned our toes up this half. We have lacked a hunger and desperation for a while now.

    What’s more, it didn’t cost us the game, but [censored] our goal kicking has been pathetic for the whole year. Forwards coach needs a rocket along with the worst of them

    Didn't say you were, What is the relevance of the jumper got to do with the way we are playing?

    never seen Tracca have ten touches.

    Never seen him not chase. Well I have now.


    Forward line needs a full revamp.

    Ball just bounces right back out when Weideman and Brown are playing.

    Lots to work on, hopefully it’s a wake up call and not a sign of things to come because second half of the season gets much tougher.

    1-6 to 11-3 this half. That's the difference

    That goes back 10 years 

    I'm not too filthy. This reminds me a lot of the game against the Giants last year (albeit they have beaten us much more badly).
    We've clearly got underdone, gassed and injured players. We had two soft lead in games. The Dockers have been amazingly switched on. 
    We learn what we can, regroup and come out firing next week.

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
