You  know who I blame for this. The players from our team who couldn't kick straight to save themselves. 

It's easy for them. They can escape by going overseas next week. We can't.

Somebody please think of the DL’ers!!

 

Ugh went into the Vic market this morning and a stall holder was playing the Collingwood theme song. Way to early for that.

It's going to be a very very long week and a painful one

The most infuriating thing about Collingwood making the Grand Final is that they’re not even that [censored] good.

They (the filth) looked so gettable last night!

They also interviewed that sex pest DeGoey, who for some reason decided to awkwardly hug her and invade her space. Others lose their jobs for similar behavior. Was bizarre and no one bats an eyelid because it’s Collingwood. I hate what this country is becoming.

Yep, the idolization of sex offenders, thugs and cheats under the guise of being good blokes who can kick a footy is nauseating. 
 

If you hate what this country (and world) is becoming,  spare a thought for us women.

The last few weeks I’ve realised I like Aussie Rules the game, can’t stand the AFL as an industry, but love the Demons. The manufacturing of storyline’s and outcomes is so obvious.

Watching the AFLW is a revelation. It feels fun and real.

Toby Bedford runs into an open goal and misses..... How Melbourne!

I was surprised Hogan kicked straight late.
But he's been out of our system longer I s'pose.

Nice of Channel 7 to yet again rub salt into our wounds by interviewing this [censored] low life animal after the game.

Noticed he was in the thick of it again with his bumping and pushing.

Hate to say it, but i don't think we beat either team last night (pies beat us already in a QF as we know). We don't have the corridor game to win it. Badly need some new thinking in this regard. any chance we could poach Leppitsch?

Sorry @BDA  to disagree.  We could have beaten either team last night. I wouldn’t be afraid of playing either.  We have to ability to beat anyone and win it. Put us against anyone and we’re a big chance.  
 

Just for the record.  Pies and Blues didn’t beat us.  Dees lost it. Both times. What hurts is we only have ourselves to blame in both games.  So so so so (etc ) chances to win both games.  (And ps. we were minus Gus,Petty,Melksham) 

I thought the Ch 7 commentary was deplorable.  I have accepted that BTs brain is always at another game but the others commentated not on what they saw but who they saw

Daicos - what a champ; (had just slipped and fallen over)

Sidebottom - ever reliable (coughed up 2 goals)

I noticed that too. Went the hug and the kiss. Was real creepy and weird. Maybe a little history there, who knows. She looked uncomfortable

Newsflash, should've, could've, might have, we went out in straight sets again.

we're good enough. Our game plan isn't. We play the same way again next year it'll be the same result.

Good post.

We simply couldn't win because of our fwd line being depleted. Also had Gus unfairly removed from the whole game.

We bombed it against the pies without a strong Hogan type player who could make a contest. 

If a tired gws side that had a six day break after three interstate games had another tall in their fwd line and not rely just on Hogan they would be in a Gf now.

Pies are bog ordinary and  should be smashed by the lions if the Mcg hoodoo isn't a factor.

Lions fwd line should overwhelm  the pies defenders .

As for Carlton, we were another fwd down in a young Jvr suspended and blew a lot of chances in a very poorly umpired game with 50m penalties handed out like snickers bars and a lot of frees just simply not paid.

We also made some poor selection choices with Laurie in the QF and not Grundy in the other. 

A sad ending with injuries, the Maynard incident and some really poor skills saw us removed in straight sets in a series where a flag was very much there for the taking.

Sheet kicking and stupidity lost us both games.

I think his season has been slightly over hyped.

12.17 for the season. If he did that at Melbourne he’d be lynched by all and sundry.

Agree, people have been suckers for the highlight reel and quick to boot our list management.

Edited by layzie

Like the rest of you I’ve woken to a lovely Melbourne Spring day, revoltingly ruined by the infiltration of Collingwood propaganda. Listening to 774 and Matt Preston is about to turn away 60% of his audience, by assuming we are all interested in listening to his nauseating sycophantic slobbering on about Collingwood. 
Its just the arrogance that pizzes me off, this would happen with no other team, except perhaps Carlton 🤮🤮🤮

If Collingwood were playing the Taliban in the Grand Final next week I would be wholeheartedly supporting the Taliban.

If Carlton wins tonight it will be like choosing a favourite from Al Qaeda and Islamic State.

 

McStay leaving the Lions for the Pies, blows up his quad in the Preliminary, potentially missing the GF against his old club. 
 

Karma bus at work. 

When Hogan kicked that goal to get the Giants within 1 a Richmond friend asked how Melbourne must feel seeing that.

If anyone should be feeling bad about Jesse playing this kind of footy it's Freo. They couldn't make it work in the perfect hometown environment and they are crying out for a forward as well right now.

  • REPORT: Gold Coast

    From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

  • CASEY: Gold Coast

    Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

  • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

    The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.
