Really not looking forward to the pies game next week now. They’re missing half their list and we’re gonna let them walk all over us going off today’s performance. Sickening.. 

 

The whole club needs a serious shake up.

We need a very big re-build, players not willing to stick around for it can go elsewhere. As much as I love Max, his time as captain needs to come to an end. 

We need new leadership. From the Pres & CEO, to the coach captain and players.

Worst first half since 2018 prelim. 3rd grossly uncompetitive display this season. WTF is going on?

They have lost their passion and now skills.

No hunger.

Two Freo players hold the ball and effectively tackle each other Nibbles tackles them. No holding the ball. WTF???

Yep it's the umps fault

What hope have you got when we do not have a forward. Fritta runs away from the ball. Would not have a bruise on him. Turner hasn't touched it but has a goal. For Freo. Petty is ordinary at moment. McAdam. Is he playing. Then you throw in our skill level by Rivers, Sparrow and Salem and lack of endeavor from Windsor and Huinter all adds up to us being a middle-ranged side. Long season ahead demonlanders.

Heads will roll for this performance. Something is seriously wrong with this club. West coast, now this. Need to step back and rethink the list

Maybe not the list per se 🤔 

I don't mean to be alarmist, but put a fork in us WE ARE DONE!

Playing 20 v 23, nothing in the cupboard. Hunter, McAdam, Petty, miles off the level.  

Can't kick, can't run, can't mark. 

AMW must play for the next month at least to see if there's something there.

Have you watched Casey lately.

We lost to Coburg yesterday... a team that is winless this year and has maybe won five games in the last three years

Down 28 in contested possessions. Back to the days of being non competitive. Horrible. 


Is this called zone defence or no defence? Why are all of our players 20-40 metres away from their players who can then play kick to kick at will????? This is the worst performance since the Neeld era. Skills totally lacking. Jogging around, half trying. An absolute thrashing by a second rate team. 

I think I might petition to have no Binman on the pod this week because I just can’t put up with 2 hours of this isn’t our midfield’s fault.

Or is it killing-coach stuff ?? 

Look at the players on our list .

There are so many we don't play.

Not saying we should but why are we paying them?

May not be a bad thing. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Got to be the weakest, most embarrassing, gutless and shameful half of football I’ve seen from this team. The players and coaches should be ashamed of themselves. 
Haha hoping for a better second half! 

Mini rebuild required at the club. We're not contending this year with this list and this game style. We've lost whatever identity and brand we had, and the players have gone into preservation mode as a result. The next wave coming through in Sparrow, Bowey etc have not come on, and as the old core is now on the slide, there's no one picking up the slack to make us competitive.

It's sad that Gawn and May will retire in the coming years battling away in an uncompetitive team.

Your Mum taught you well !


Since the missed HTB 15 metres out for ANB in the 1st, momentum changed, and have turned to 💩looks a training drill out there.

Agree. Heads should have rolled after eagles disaster.

But we don't have the players.

The question is why?

 

 

Worst half of footy since the 2020 Cairns game against Sydney. If you want to count that game. Maybe the worst since the 2018 prelim.

Sadly this team ain’t it. Oliver is doing well just to be playing, but his lack of preparation is starting to show. Just a player at the moment, no star. Petracca can’t do it all. Viney is getting on. Windsor needs a rest. Then we have Petty and Turner as our “twin towers”. lol. Disappointing because all it takes is Sydney to be a little bit off one night in September and it’s anyone else’s flag this year. But we are playing like porridge too often. Brisbane was a disaster, West Coast did it too easy, and now this?!? 

We should only really be 4 goals down though. Nice mark Amiss lol. [censored] off 22 and friends. 

This is a coaching problem imo. New game style doesn't suit our team. It's too easy to play against.
How can professional coaches not see this?
3 goals in a half, in perfect conditions. 16 scoring shots to 6!!
It's not working!!!!

  • REPORT: Carlton

    I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

  • CASEY: Carlton

    The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

  • POSTGAME: Carlton

    A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
