Just give us the 4 points so we can go home and never speak of this game again.

    Woeful half of football from both sides 

    Looks poor here how does it look on tv?

    He will fit right in here then. 

    Do we know his username on DL? 

     

    Fox footy are on the mark with us.  Out of form, out of confidence.  Forward connection is terrible, don’t kick to space or advantage, bomb it in.

    Selfish plays either not taking the best option, or not hearing it or expecting them to be there

    Good players missing easy targets.  Dropped marks.  Gawn seems either underdone or disinterested - there’s no fire there, no angry Max.

    It’s less about the score and more about the quality on display. It’s really ugly to watch. We are a lot better than this. I hope. 

    I just want to win tonight, don’t care how or by how much

    I don't like when people just focus on the scoreboard or the ladder.

    As you have said Jaded, we look terrible against a subpar team in Carlton.

    I think I've just got low expectations of our skill level right now anyway so I just want an ugly win. 

    But if we kkkeep plugging away tje confidence will return and we'll hit more targets.

    Worse, very mundane. What strikes me the most is how quiet the crowd is... Doesn't look like a Friday night game crowd.

    Yeah geewhiz that was ordinary viewing. 
     

    Time for another blunt.

    Not much better.

    Get our disposal right and it will be better.

    No, it's a Dees home game

    There are some on this forum who appear to have social health issues. MFC is well infront of bluebaggers. Relax . Most sides are winning  below par games. Relax or we might lose. Shut up.

    Max looks like he’s playing injured, and we are missing Oliver big time, get him back and we will be ok!

    Will Viney miss next week with his illegal tackle early in the first quarter?

    It's touch and go for me 

    It is a very hard game to talk up. But Judd McVee has looked the best he has for a while and looks to have so much room for improvement.

    Just gotta get the four pints tonight. This game is absolute trash. Unbelievable this is modern day AFL with the best athletes and players in the land. The talent pool isn’t big enough it seems.

    Nice finish Van Rooyen.

    Not sure Joel Smith has justified his selection 

    Hasn't played at this level for ages.

    Needs at least 2 matches at this level to find the pace surely.

    He's got to a few contests and a decent chase down at one point.

    Needs to hit the scoreboard a few times in this second half though.

    A few other regular campaigners up forward in the NQR mix in that first half also.

    He plays for Melbourne. So yes.

    Our field kicking entries into 50 are deplorable, none of our forwards double back enough to accept that easy hit up.

    Friggen frustrating as we are in these positions so often, this game should be iced and put to bed.

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      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?
