Everything about that game was predictable. Only this time we gave up a 20 point lead instead of the standard 25-30 point lead.

Anyone who thinks otherwise is delusional.

This has been coming ever since we struggled in large parts against North and West Coast.

We don’t apply pressure and we can’t/don’t want to tackle anymore.

3 games we have blown a 20 point first qrt lead.

 

Mmmmm

Bring in Van Rooyen, May, Bedford and Dunstan. No idea who to drop.

Dire performance. We must be doing some serious loading because we have no legs. Flat as a tack.

Ball movement like trickle. Fumbling and dropping marks. Rubbish forward 50 delivery.
Won’t pick on any players because they’ll all out of form

gus played well. Viney not bad. Petty before he was injured. Clarry stuck at it. 
 

were 10-3 at the bye so plenty of time to put things right. But we better get our mojo back soon or we risk top 4

They kicked 9 out of the last 10 goals or something like that right??

what happened to the team that was 19 points down in a grand final and put on 100 points after that, where have they gone???????????

Wheres the mental fortitude or toughness to stand up when we don't have momentum. 

I just can't comprehend how bad we are at the moment.

Thanks Mr May. 

Let’s hope there are no more slip ups. 

We have lost our mojo but season ain’t over yet. Bye has come at a good time but we need to get our butts back into gear quick smart.

Not sure why we continue to turn off when we get a cushy lead. has happened 3 weeks in a row with no response. Really concerning 

That wasn't turning off, that was running out of gas, being worked out tactically, and having no answers.

Gawn, Turner, Petty all shot which gives an alibi.  Jackson shouldn't escape criticism for his poor effort when asked to step up.  Tracc really struggling.  Two weeks to get it right.

They were all fit when the wheels fell off.

we’ve got such a difficult run home.Think we all Gotta get real  about the 2022 dees. we’ve beaten no one , have no fitness edge anymore ( what happened?) , no forward line and deep injuries. I hate to say it, but finals are no certainty. we’re scrambling from here.

Petty should not have played

We were plain dumb not to rotate some players through the Eagles/North rounds.

Rivers should have been the medi-sub

Petty couldn't have done much more today. Late effort vs Mihocek wasn't great but worked hard in the absence of May.

Yeah, we're in trouble.

25.10 to 6.16 in second halves over three weeks.

That isn't a May issue. Our season is done. You just don't see good teams perform like that.

I was unwilling to accept some of the doom and gloom around here. But today it seemed like Collingwood was top 4 and we were a team trying to keep up with the top 8.

2022 just ain't our year.

Steven May might have made a difference to the shambolic defence, but the connection going forward was again non-existent. A big question mark is also growing about the physical fitness of a team that is developing a habit of building useful leads, only to fade away dramatically under pressure. This never happened when Burgess was there. Given the tough draw ahead, a top-four spot is in real danger now.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last

    LIFE SUPPORT by Whispering Jack

    With Melbourne’s season hanging on a thread, Saturday night’s game against North Melbourne unfolded like a scene in a hospital emergency department.  The patient presented to the ward in a bad way. Doctors and nurses pumped life-saving medication into his body and, in the ensuing half hour, he responded with blood returning to his cheeks as he stirred back to life. After a slight relapse, the nurses pumped further medication into the bloodstream and the prognosis started looking good as the

    The Demons almost blew a six goal lead and ultimately hung on to win by three points over the North Melbourne Kangaroos at the MCG and have temporarily jumped back into the Top 8.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 15 vs North Melbourne

    It's Game Day and it very well could be the last roll of the dice for the Demon's finals aspirations in 2024. A loss to the bottom side would be another embarrassing moment in a cursed year for the Dees whilst a win could be the spark they need to reignite the fire in the belly.
