    Bit of heat has to come on Tim Lamb, done nothing for this list since winning a premiership three years ago. Amazing that midfield and ruck depth weren’t addressed in the off season

    I feel really sorry for our fans who actually paid good money to witness this debacle first hand.

    At least we can be comforted knowing that we're currently loading.

    Anyone in here who genuinely thinks we are a flag chance has rocks in their head. Been clear for quite some time. 

    Yeh.. there’s been excuses and reasons but it’s pretty clear we’re not good enough. Even good teams lose a game or two they shouldn’t, when you lose this many you just aren’t good

    Not sticking with Grundy and not giving it more time was perhaps the most short-sighted coaching decision I have ever seen this club make.

    We gifted him to Sydney who is now dominating and has an AA ruck for the next 4-5 seasons.

    Meanwhile we are plodding along with Petty as a backup ruckman, and we get absolutely spanked whenever a team has more than one big body.

    Anyone that didn't see the writing on the wall after the West Coast game is delusional.

    I’m booking a family overseas trip in September. So disappointed with my club!

     

    They are almost DOUBLE us in contested possessions

    Double

    pathetic gutless soft performance 


    Melbourne are pretenders, this is seriously pathetic. May struggle to make finals from here, 2021 was fun but this club just doesn't have the intestinal fortitude to dominate in this league

    T Mc and Tomlinson keep running to the same spots the big dumb oafs. Seriously, it cant be that hard to go man on man 

    Goodwin the tactical genius would rather loose the game than make adjustments on the fly

    Why won’t Melbourne make the perceived hard call and not play players who aren’t in form. Petty is currently useless. Hunter should not have come in the team when he did. Disco is not a forward. 
     

    Petty is a complete liability at the moment and should be back at Casey. Is the reason he is playing is so that we can keep his price tag high? It isn’t working.

    There’s literally no one who would do a better job. We have no forwards in the cupboard.

    It’s a training run for Freo atm.

    Seriously, when will Goodwin be held accountable? He’s got to go, along with several of our players.

    We need to start again with a full on re-build.

    What are our odds to miss the 8? Seems safe money 

    To win football games you need skill and to care, we have no skill and the players 

    All it them.  Do Not Care


    In the podcast, I do not want to hear about how other teams lose in upsets followed by the one time it happened to Collingwood last year.

    • WHAT’S NEXT? by The Oracle

      What’s next for a beleagured Melbourne Football Club down in form and confidence, facing  intense criticism and disapproval over some underwhelming recent performances and in the midst of a four game losing streak? Why, it’s Adelaide which boasts the best percentage in the AFL and has won six of its last seven games. The Crows are hot and not only that, the game is at the Adelaide Oval; yet another away fixture and the third in a row at a venue outside of Victoria. One of the problems the Demons have these days is that they rarely have the luxury of true home ground advantage, something they have enjoyed just once since mid April.

    • 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.
