Daniher is an absolute spanker...Why didnt he flood with 2 minutes to go....

He and some poor umpiring decisions has cost us again............

Daniher has got to go.

The Dogs have no height at all in the forward line and again Daniher was content on allowing them to have an open forward line...

TERRIBLE.

i dont think ND is to blame for that. the defensive players called for it but the forwards didnt move. it takes a few moments for the coach to get on the phone, onto the runner then out onto the ground. by then the game had restarted...i think the players shouldve done it of their own accord...

the difference...Johnno kicks a goal to put them in front he races into the backline calling everyone with him...

Silva kicks a goal to put us in front.....we leave an open forward line for them...for Johnno to do the above..

it takes leadership..unfortunately without chook..we have none in the midfield..

The dees were unlucky today. The way the game was going the dogs could have easily kicked one against the flood anyway. The dogs have a freakish ability to break down a flood. I like that the dees played man on man. Sure, it MAY have cost us 4 points, but there is no proof of this.

Good effort from the boys, just not yet good enough to walk away with a win.

ND did what he could today. Not his fault, but he will be under the pump if we are 0 and 10.

Yep, unlucky and yet another heartbreak, but I agree completely, where was the flood?

Should have left Sylvia, Yze and Neita up forward and everyone else should have gone back. We could have gotten enough drive out of Davey and Green and White to get it up forward.

I pity our defenders. They were screaming for back-up with 2 minutes to go, and yet we went one-on-one.

Sure, you want to back your players in, but not when you are 0-6 and desperately seeking a victory. We should have played ugly for 2 minutes... thats all it would have taken.

Had Jared Rivers played today, we would have won. I'm absolutely certain of that.

Goddamn injuries!!! :angry: :(

Why didn't our inspirational captain do the same thing as Jonhson - because he isn't inspirational - shame Neita shame - and while I am at it for all those Melbourne punters who think Miller is no good - have a close look at our captain - don't blame Danners - blame our on field leaders,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

I disagree. i think that neitz is inspirational. we dont have any leaders in the midfield.

Miller had a very bad day. when he marked at the 50m mark and then handballed it off i got very angry. im sick of the way he cant kick and im sick of the way he goes missing.

Come on, Neita has one bad game and all of a sudden he is a rubbish leader and not inspirational?

Shame on anyone who calls themselves a Melbourne supporter, if they judge Neita on one poor performance. He has more runs on the board than our entire side put together. Go find someone else to take your frustrations out on. FFS! :rolleyes:

if you're going to blame something for losing that match...

BLAME OUR INABILITY TO WIN POSSESSION IN THE LAST 3 MINS WHEN WE WENT A POINT UP.

4 lost clearences in the last 3 mins is the reason we couldn't hang on, not lack of flooding

We weren't even one on one. when the ball was back in the middle, Akermanis was inside the Bulldogs forward fifty ON HIS OWN! TJ stood on the wing and watched, probably happy enough cos it may have been advantageous to him had we got the footy. But it wasn't us who needed to score again, it was the Dogs. Eventually Bell (who was on Giansiracusa) went to Aker and Giansiracusa and Johnstone got a little closer. Wasn't impressed with that at all, we should've had two or three loose defenders show initiative and flood back, not be undermanned down there.

don't blame danners. we all know the last 3 minutes have nothing to do with the coach. it comes down to the way the players can think and take the initiative. captain belting someone doesn't help but whatever. we tried hard. on th boys

i noticed that too deebest, im sure TJ was thinking, im on my own, if the ball spills to me we'll score again, but he shouldve been more accountable...

Since TJ loves to give directions so much, surely he could have screamed at one of his team-mates to go cover his man. We were doing well to man-up all game, but lost it in the crucial last few minutes. You would think we would have learnt something from last week.

This never would have happened if Rodney Eade was coaching us. That's all I'm going to say.

I'm certainly not a Daniher supporter but how anyone can blame him for the loss today is beyond me. Our best 2 defenders by a country mile out injured. Brock Mclean current leader and future captain out injured, our other focal point when Neitz is quiet, out injuerd.

Our first pick in the "super" draft trained the house down and was in contention for a round 1 spot out injured. The shining light of the season so far Petterd 2 games, 2 blinders, rising star nomination out injured.

Umpiring decisions?!?!?

People will say it's easy too make excuses but you need to be realistic.

I very rarely complain about Danners but today I blame him for the loss. Sure he did some good moves (particularly the way he used Aarton Davey and Dunn on the wing). However, the runner should have been out to flood teh backline. Not only was there no flood, he left it more open than usual. Where were the runners? So disappointed today but I do feel a win is around the corner.

And then when i was watching on tv, when johnno kicked that goal, they showed the melbourne coaches box, and danners pounded his fist on the table in frustration. It was your fault we did not flood

After the game, Brad Johnson confirmed in a radio interview that when Sylvia put Melbourne in front the Melbourne backmen were screaming for more players to come back to block up the Bulldogs forwardline, but no one came back. Johnson couldn't believe how open the forwardline was went he kicked the match winning goal.

I don't think this is Danihers fault. Perhaps the players need to take more responsibility.

I agree with you there Ash, certainly players should be more aware of what is going on around them, especially after an important goal is kicked to put a team in front

    Once again the club’s top goal scorer but he had a few uncharacteristic flat spots during the season and the club will be looking for much better from him in 2025.

    After sustaining a torn ACL in the final match of the 2023 season Jake added a bit to the attack late in the 2024 season upon his return.

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The move of “Disco” to a key forward post looks like bearing fruit. Turner has good hands, moves well and appears to be learning the forward craft well. Will be an interesting watch in 2025.

    2024 Player Reviews: #13 Clayton Oliver

    Lack of preparation after a problematic preseason prevented Oliver from reaching the high standards set before last year’s hamstring woes. He carried injury right through the back half of the season and was controversially involved in a potential move during the trade period that was ultimately shut down by the club.

    BLOODY BLUES by Meggs

    The conclusion to Narrm’s home and away season was the inevitable let down by the bloody Blues  who meekly capitulated to the Bombers.   The 2024 season fixture handicapped the Demons chances from the get-go with Port Adelaide, Brisbane and Essendon advantaged with enough gimme games to ensure a tough road to the finals, especially after a slew of early season injuries to star players cost wins and percentage.     As we strode confidently through the gates of Prin

    2024 Player Reviews: #5 Christian Petracca

    Melbourne’s most important player who dominated the first half of the season until his untimely injury in the Kings Birthday clash put an end to his season. At the time, he was on his way to many personal honours and the club in strong finals contention. When the season did end for Melbourne and Petracca was slowly recovering, he was engulfed in controversy about a possible move of clubs amid claims about his treatment by the club in the immediate aftermath of his injury.
