Only have ourselves to blame, very gettable game and year. 

 

I’ve not seen us looked that gassed before. We had nothing left to give.


I’m gutted. Tuning out for the rest of the the weekend 

Just a lesson in football. Brisbane, like Sydney last week, were just far superior to us. Luckily we got a good start but that wasn’t enough. We have the cattle but without good coaching it’s pointless.

 

If Sparrow is in our side round 1 next year we're finishing 12th 

gutted


Cannot begin to express what a letdown the last two weeks were. We just didn’t concede a huge run of goals last year. 

Cue in the rack at half time cost us!!!

Doing the same thing every single week for 2 1/2 years will eventually fail.

This has been a pretty pathetic second half of the year, regardless of whatever niggles come out during the week

This looked like several other games before, start well and get a lead and then fail to score for a long period. It was classic Melbourne of 2022.

A very weak response when in the defensive and couldn’t get goals to stem the flow. Such a poor performance for when it mattered most.

So many out of form players, need a few fresh legs in.

Probably the most predictable outcome ever. Had all the hallmarks of a vintage Melbourne loss at quarter time.

Surprisingly not that disappointed. Would rather go out tonight than watch us lose against a well-rested Geelong next week.


Going to take a few weeks off football

Looking forward to some good off season analysis

So many learnings

It's not been fun following the Dees this year I'm afraid

Poor selection, poor coaching, poor application. Totally unacceptable to be regularly run over in the second half. Sparrow, Rivers, Spargo, Jackson, Hunt not up to it. Pickett’s I’ll discipline is a real problem. So much for all the talk about wanting to perform for the fans at the G - yadda, yadda, yadda.  

Failure of a season.

Every single loss was the same where we get out to a lead of around 20 to 30 points and then get complacent and stop trying to win.

No imagination with team selection or style.

Half the team in on reputation while Casey had an all-time great saeason.

So embarrassed, what a disgrace, Goodwin can learn a lot from resting players earlier IMO. 


Umpires in last quarter 

50 against Pickett up other end goal

soft holding to McStay - goal

Bailey pushed Hunt square in middle of back - goal

Andrews chops Brown arm 15 metres out - no free

just to close out game umpire free against Lever not being tackled and 5Om to gift it

Umpires pathetic influenced result

 

Luke Jackson,now Faaark off to Perth,will be so [censored] if he stays.

 

Viney,no right boot,turnover,season over

 

Lever-dumbest thing i saw in football this season!!!

Lots to it. We were cooked, selection maybe exacerbated it, game plan etc etc.

Honestly think we'll be a lot better next year with improved fitness and luck with injuries.

On to the trade and draft board we go...

 

It really is inexplicable it has to be linked to fitness preparation. But the complete lack of football common sense and flexibility is astounding. Seriously we are back to the bad old days. Massive chance we slide down the ladder.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Adelaide

    Noffy, Hatchy and Randy lead Adelaide’s finals-hardened flock to IKON Park for a blockbuster semi-final against Kate Hore and Hanksy’s mighty Demons.  Adelaide has dropped four of its past five matches at this ground — let’s hope that trend holds.  But don’t expect charity — Doc Clarke brings an experienced, battle-worthy murder of Crows.

  • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

    Melbourne returned to its city citadel, IKON Park, boasting a 10–2 home record and celebrating its 100th AFLW matchwith 3,711 fans creating a finals atmosphere. But in a repeat of Round 11, Brisbane proved too strong, too fit, and too relentless.  They brought their kicking boots: 9 goals, 2 points.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Brisbane

    Forget the haunting of Round 11 — we’ve got this. Melbourne returns to its inner-city fortress for its milestone 100th AFLW match, carrying a formidable 10–2 record at IKON Stadium. Brisbane’s record at the venue is more balanced: 4 wins, 4 losses and a draw.
