Boundary umpire is the dill. 

Nobody blew a whistle, why did he just stand there allowing the guy to rag doll him around whilst making no attempt to get rid of it

    Arm wrestle with 16th place. Words you love to hear. 

    Can we PLEASE take control of this after half time and bury these [censored]? They inflicted so much pain on us over the years. It’s not yet time, not even close, that they can return to that. 

    They’re 16th, missing their best mid. No excuses.

    Boundary and goal umpires are having a laugh this weekend.

    Absolutely disgraceful display. Unaccountable green [censored]. 


    Could barely have played worse, similar to Carlton yesterday.

    Such sloppy skills, spending it before we've earned it and dropping easy handballs (Petracca, Laurie, Salem).
    It's an attitude thing - the boys are not intense enough which is just bizarre given this win is going to lock in top 4 and it's Gawn and ANB's milestone games.

    The boundary umpire was right there. Viney was a metre out.

    So glad we have 90 umpires now. They’re all doing such a stellar job đŸ™„

    Kozzie and Chandler need to get busy in the forward line. Just be front and centre at the fall of the ball.

    Absolutely and I won’t mention that boundary umpire. Every time we get tackled, it’s holding the ball and we can’t get one as usual.

    Unfortunately it’s all too common now in big games. 

    60 minutes to show some top 8 level competence otherwise top 4 is slipping away from us. Underwhelming but not unsurprising. 

    Hey all, eyes off the umpires for a second and more onto our crud display. Can't hit the backside of a barn with our disposal right now.

    Arm wrestle with a team who beat the premiership favourites two weeks ago.

    I'm complaining about both thingsÂ đŸ˜ª

    Hawthorn much cleaner, Petracca, Pickett and Oliver really need to lift. Would be worth getting Schache on as our forward line is too small

    Why.. we have no tall forwards to bring the ball to ground

    Other than the opportune goal out the back I'm not sure I've seen Smith

    We need the small forwards to lead to space

    It’s par for the course, Jaded. None of us have the vaguest idea what they’ll do at any time. It’s a complete mess. 
    Meanwhile, we’re playing very poorly.

    He is breaking Jack Dyers rule no.1 don't get where the ball ain't. Ever since he was suspended he has been poor in 90% of games.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      Hands up if you thought, like me, at half-time in yesterday’s game at TIO Traeger Park, Alice Springs that Melbourne’s disposal around the ground and, in particular, its kicking inaccuracy in front of the goals couldn’t get any worse. Well, it did. And what’s even more damning for the Melbourne Football Club is that the game against St Kilda and its resurgence from the bottomless pit of its miserable start to the season wasn’t just lost through poor conversion for goal but rather in the 15 minutes when the entire team went into a slumber and was mugged by the out-of-form Saints. Their six goals two behinds (one goal less than the Demons managed for the whole game) weaved a path of destruction from which they were unable to recover. Ross Lyon’s astute use of pressure to contain the situation once they had asserted their grip on the game, and Melbourne’s self-destructive wastefulness, assured that outcome. The old adage about the insanity of repeatedly doing something and expecting a different result, was out there. Two years ago, the score line in Melbourne’s loss to the Giants at this same ground was 5 goals 15 behinds - a ratio of one goal per four scoring shots - was perfectly replicated with yesterday’s 7 goals 21 behinds. 
      This has been going on for a while and opens up a number of questions. I’ll put forward a few that come to mind from this performance. The obvious first question is whether the club can find a suitable coach to instruct players on proper kicking techniques or is this a skill that can no longer be developed at this stage of the development of our playing group? Another concern is the team's ability to counter an opponent's dominance during a run on as exemplified by the Saints in the first quarter. Did the Demons underestimate their opponents, considering St Kilda's goals during this period were scored by relatively unknown forwards? Furthermore, given the modest attendance of 6,721 at TIO Traeger Park and the team's poor past performances at this venue, is it prudent to prioritize financial gain over potentially sacrificing valuable premiership points by relinquishing home ground advantage, notwithstanding the cultural significance of the team's connection to the Red Centre?

      After a disappointing loss in Alice Springs the Demons return to the MCG to take on the Magpies in the annual King's Birthday Big Freeze for MND game. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: St. Kilda

      After kicking the first goal of the match the Demons were always playing catch up against the Saints in Alice Spring and could never make the most of their inside 50 entries to wrestle back the lead.

      It's Game Day and the Demons have traveled to Alice Springs to take on the Saints and they have a massive opportunity to build on the momentum of two big wins in a row and keep their finals hopes well and truly alive.
