Petracca, Oliver and Viney will HATE the replay of this game.

And so they should. A lot of below average performances across the ground tonight so far.

That said - It isn't over until the fat lady is singing. She might be warming up her vocal chords, but we aint done yet.

    Haven’t been smashed like this in a while…just have to take the L and move on sadly

    OMc just letting Grundy tap it to their players.  It’s freaking embarrassing this performance.

    No spirit in this team.

     

    The bombing is back Tracc!  Ughhh

    Tomlinson is not AFL standard.

    Would prefer Dan Turner, honestly.

    Gee a lot of people would have had you fooled last week on that one.

    Good god

    people throwing themselves off a cliff

    Top golfers spent 90% of their time not winning

    top tennis players spend 90% of their time winning

    footy = tennis

    This one is in our 10%


     There's losing and then there's getting done like a dinner.

    Really?  How about outplayed, as well as maybe being shellshocked at losing our best player early in the game?

    Really.  Few players have been played to their usual standards. Brisbane have been more switched on since the first bounce. 
    Agree we are being outplayed and no doubt Max going down has had an impact.

    So if they said they could rule out and then it was, would that be less demoralising?

    It is what it is, and we need to move on regardless.

    And what an absolute piece of excrement is Grant Thomas making those comments.  Just scum.

    Im watching it on Kayo what did grant say?

    Well I do hope that they (all) have a good long look at it, I hope they hate doing so.

    I reckon if Chris Scott coached us he’d have a lot to say about the variability of surfaces and conditions in Queensland versus Victoria in March.

    We won’t say a thing. Good.

    Beaten because we failed to execute the most basic non negotiables of our side. We got destroyed in every area that we generally excel at. Inexcusable. 

    Well yeah, pretty much. 

    But Lions have taken their chances, that's footy I guess.

    Are we at least going to make this an honourable loss. Big difference between drawing this to a couple of goals and a 10 goal loss. Might be a good start winning some clearances.

    No one in this team (or coaches box) is willing to do something to change the game. I don’t care if we turn into the skid, just do something.

    Sorry we are gone worst loss in 10 years!

    Anyone who thinks we are getting thumped because Brisbane are a far superior side, are being very kind. 

    Brisbane look ok. They’re handling the conditions better in the heat which is expected, but we have crapped out pants here. Can’t win a clearance. Losing contested and ground balls. Turning the ball over. The most un-Melbourne performance of the last 3 years.

    There are losses and then there are losses. This is making the Lions look better then they are. 

    The hype around us seriously gets to the players heads and we just turn up, expecting magic to happen. 
     

     


    I have no idea what our midfield has been up to tonight. The fumbles, the 0.5 handballing, but most of all the kicking. How bad have Viney, Brayshaw, Oliver and Petracca been by foot? The long bombs into the F59 remind me of Brent moloney. 

    But in that quarter some of the defensive efforts were insipid.

    I don’t think Grundy has taken a mark

    I do wonder if there’s more to the conditions. I never see Tracc and Oliver find it this hard to maintain control of the ball.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
