They are picking us apart. Look much more likely forward. Cleaner and better numbers to the fall of the ball. 
 

we look like we are under committing at the contest. Seems deliberate.

 

We've been let off massively with ports goalkicking. They are finding targets inside 50 way too easy.

    lol it is not. Port ain't bad.

    Not sure what game you are watching - we look 2nd rate. Late to the ball. Outnumbered at contest. Hacking the ball when in possession . 

    Our only goal has come from a dubious 50m penalty.

    FMD what a disaster of a quarter. 
    Sloppy, soft, messy.

    We can’t handle the hot ball. Stock standard Melbourne. 

    Dove head first

     

    what studs are we wearing? we're slipping whenever we take possesion

     


    They're out numbering us around the stoppages.

    So many more Port players then us 

    We look completely sluggish

    Really frustrating watching this quarter. 
    Why is May miles off his man???

    Been frustrating this whole season so far. Patchy in all games.


    Isn't it not a high free if you duck into it???

    Port deserve that lead. We are playing pathetic football. 
    If we don’t start getting our act together through the middle, we can kiss this game goodbye. 
    As for our backline, the less said the better.

    Was hoping we'd get away with that quarter but no we definitely had to gift them so they had reward for effort. Port in the drivers seat

    This has been bugging me for ages now, why, whenever we have a rushed kick do we sky ball it? Seems literally everyone else's rushed kicks are stab passes which often land in their team mates lap. Ours are ALWAYS spoiled and often rebound back the other way

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      There was a time during the current Melbourne cycle that goes back to before the premiership when the club was the toughest to beat in the fourth quarter. The Demons were not only hard to beat at any time but it was virtually impossible to get the better them when scores were close at three quarter time. It was only three or four years ago but they were fit, strong and resilient in body and mind. Sadly, those days are over. This has been the case since the club fell off its pedestal about 12 months ago after it beat Geelong and then lost to Carlton. In both instances, Melbourne put together strong, stirring final quarters, one that resulted in victory, the other, in defeat. Since then, the drop off has been dramatic to the point where it can neither pull off victory in close matches, nor can it even go down in defeat  gallantly.

    • CASEY: Footscray

      At twenty-four minutes into the third term of the game between the Casey Demons and Footscray VFL at Whitten Oval, the visitors were coasting. They were winning all over the ground, had the ascendancy in the ruck battles and held a 26 point lead on a day perfect for football. What could go wrong? Everything. The Bulldogs moved into overdrive in the last five minutes of the term and booted three straight goals to reduce the margin to a highly retrievable eight points at the last break. Bouyed by that effort, their confidence was on a high level during the interval and they ran all over the despondent Demons and kicked another five goals to lead by a comfortable margin of four goals deep into the final term before Paddy Cross kicked a couple of too late goals for a despondent Casey. A testament to their lack of pressure in the latter stages of the game was the fact that Footscray’s last ten scoring shots were nine goals and one rushed behind. Things might have been different for the Demons who went into the game after last week’s bye with 12 AFL listed players. Blake Howes was held over for the AFL game but two others, Jack Billings and Taj Woewodin (not officially listed as injured) were also missing and they could have been handy at the end. Another mystery of the current VFL system.

    • PREGAME: Brisbane

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.
