Last 6 minutes a bit more encouraging. A bit more run and carry

    Very flat after those two games in succession in Adelaide. Carrying too many blokes who are sore or underdone or non existent Oliver, Brown, Petty, Chandler,jvr, billings, woey, Salem (inj) ,fritsch 

    Is Brown playing ? Is JVR ever going to mark it ?? That’s 15 dropped marks in a row.

    Any ideas coming out of the coaches box this evening? have not seen any positive moves they might have made. 

    How about swapping petty and Tmac for a quarter? we might get a bit more out of Petty at least.

    In the last 8 minutes we actually won a lot of ball at half back, only to totally stuff it up with poor disposal and/decision making. 

    JVR, Fritsch, Petty and Brown have been as poor as I have ever seen them. No influence, and losing contest after contest. 

    Not sure what to do here - it feels like we are mentally and physically fatigued.

    Forward line: do we have one?

    Midfield: laughably slow and cumbersome.

    Defence: Chaotic.

    Goody will need to produce a miracle from here. I'm not holding my breath.


    Had to log in for the first time in 2024 just to say what the [censored] was that.

     

    Oliver shouldn’t be playing.

    Ben Brown offers nothing.

    Petty to worried about getting into niggle.

    Billings unsighted.

    Fritsch does nothing when the chips are down.

    Windsor can’t get the run going.

    Missing Kozzie big time.

    Edited by david_neitz_is_my_dad

    Smashed around the ball. Zero defensive pressure in the forward half.

    No Kozzie no Melbourne.

    We look tired;  BBB, Petty Billings nothing

    Trac and sparrow getting in each others way then just summed up the night.

    Maxy got them together before they went off. 

    But gee a lot need to lift

    I have said it once and I will say it again JVR has cricketers hands when the ball comes in at pace his wrists are cocked back to far and his hands are facing the ball on impact.

    Why do forwards always start from behind or stand on the wrong side of the incoming ball and stand flat-footed hope they change it after half time.

    If we're tired after being up for a month, you have to wonder how the coaches didn't see it through the week. If we thought we'd just turn up then the players need to get their heads checked. This is last year's grand finalists we're playing.

    Lost this at the selection table

    Petty doesn’t give a stuff. Looks like he has checked out. Only positive is Rivers.

    Must admit, I've thought that for a while. There's no way we're getting a first round pick based on tonight's effort.

    Half time and Petty.  Bbb .....Fritta and Jvr a grand whole collective total of five touches.

    Absolute disgrace

    Had 3 chances. Zero goals. Never looked likely.

    Very Bizarre about JVR, you can't just forget how to mark. Confidence issues?

    2 goals in a half yuck, I thought the lions might win but didn’t expect it to be over at half time, I’m glad I took the lions at $2.80 they are better than what the odds were saying

    MAX GAWN is a poor ruckman, Ive thought this for a while, rarely feeds our mids. Great around the ground marking etc but a poor ruckman at centre bounces!

    this is an awful post

    No it's his marking technique full stop.

    Only positive is that we just could not be worse. It looks like the two games in Adelaide have taken too much out of us. Total lack of effort. 

    That’s absolute bullocks. They have had 7 days since their last game.

    What's disappointing about that is that he used to clunk everything for Casey.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • POSTGAME: Fremantle

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.

    • GAMEDAY: Fremantle

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons return to the MCG wounded, undermanned and desperate. Still searching for their first win of the season, Melbourne faces a daunting task against the Fremantle Dockers. With key pillars missing at both ends of the ground, the Dees must find a way to rise above the adversity and ignite their season before it slips way beyond reach. Will today be the spark that turns it all around, or are we staring down the barrel of a 0–6 start?
