    Nothings changed from last year. Too often we don’t turn up with intensity.

    poor half last week. Let the swans back in and were lucky to win the margin we did.

    We just didn't turn up. It's a repeat of the lions game.

    It's no excuse but to play 3 out of your first 5 games interstate isn't great scheduling. 

    Petty not the same player this year and we have had May out then Lever. Toomos been good but like so many today's has had a shocker.

    As long as Tmac doesn't get another gig I'll be happy.

    Big heads I'm over this nonsense.  Back to losing games we should not.  Goodwin your too forgiving of bad performances.  I'm really angry that they are devoid of leadership without Max and Lever.

    Just turned up, can someone tell me what happened to Spargo?

     

    Ducked into a tackle and got concussed.

    Petty finally influencing the game, lots of strong intercepts this quarter

    Not sure how it comes across on the tv but at the ground the team and the way they are playing is unrecognisable. Just every aspect of our game is appalling . To simplify it..every single thing for them is going right & everything for us is going wrong

    We aren’t even tackling

    It's like going back in time.
    And of course against the forken drug cheats.
    My god.

    Still feel like we're a team of front runners.
    All wonderful when things are going our way but useless and incompetent when they're not.

    This is up there with the Brisbane game 

    2 of our worst games in 3 years in the last 5 weeks, why is our form so up and down

    It's worst than that. It exposes our fwd line issues. Having Max back will help but unless Bbb stars for the rest of the year we are in trouble.

    Big time. Could’ve gone top of the ladder with a win. Now we’ll likely drop to 6th and be amongst a big group currently fighting for 4th-9th spot.

    Very disappointing day for the club.

      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?
