Would of been a joke if we won.

    We nearly pulled a victory out of a certain defeat.

    We didn't deserve to win, but god it hurts to go down by less than a goal yet again.

    I feel so depressed.

    I have never almost cried after a defeat, but the tears were close to coming after today.

    But you've all hit the nail on the head here; we cannot expect to win when we kick two points in an entire thirty minutes of football.

    It is just absurd.

    And so is the fact that McLean eats a kilo of yoghurt every day.

    The club has gone mad.

    Don't blame him. He had no one in front of him and was practically standing on the line. Anyone else would have done it. It was just unfortuante.

    why did we stand still when the last kick out was about to be taken

    why was no one on the other side of the ruck contest friom that boundary throw in amongst the 4 roo player

    why is the coach still there

    why was green playing back pocket

    why did ward stand 10 meters away from grant in the 3rd quater at the 50m mark

    why did ward and brown get a game

    why did we have 5 talls and no crumber in our F50 so when we kicked it in they just ran it out with ease

    why did we handball all day long to someone 2 foot away

    why did ward ask for the handball from carrol when he was 3 inches away

    why, why why

    we didnt deserve to win that game, but it just shows that we are lacking leadership on and off the ground, a game plan and the brains to play smart football

    oh yeah and the roos are not that good, actually a very average team

    we've had injuries, players are now coming back. kangaroos are a very average team. questions now need to be asked. our ability to disappoint is infinite.

    We lost the game in the first 3 quarters, thats what make it so frustrating. They seem to persist at kicking the long bomb hoping Neitz or Robbo could take a big mark, a defenders dream. They Finally changed tack and we nearly won. I cant take much more of this. Someone has the take the blame and at the end of the day it lies with the coaches.

    as pezza alludes.. ( though mabe for differing reasons ) the score belies the reality.

    Th eroos ough tto have shat all over us save for one quarter of decent footy and the inability of the roos to find the big sticks today.

    I wont discuss the coaching.. we all know about it.. for a chnage I'll point straight at the players for th most part.

    A couple of areas let us down week in week out. We have the inability to deliver a ball in any meaningful way constantly putting the next demon inthe firing line or off his stride. Its just plain pathetic to watch. Again I say we cant as a team kick for nuts !!...and preceding any ability to kick is out decision making... do we have any.. time after time we sell our players into hospital situatoin...do they have shares in MBF or something! also exaple... Johnson not thinking at crucial moment of game....that could have won it..instead it stuffed it up !! well done fool !! cant blame him for poor thinking...he just DIDNT think !!.

    We arent a team...quite frankly we are a shambles...the score flattered us...again !!.

    Still no closer to a win !!

    now where are all those who thought we wouldnt be 9 for none now ??.

    good to see some glimpes of footy today...unfortunately you have to do it for the majority of the 120 ?? we cant ..simple as that.

    Gutted...

    Only got themselves to blame though. As usual only played 1 quarter and forgot about the other 3.

    Welcome back Bizzell, he played a great game.

    could not believe it when i heard it and saw the action unfold with 17 seconds to go... or should i say 1:19 to go...

    then i knew it was over ... although i kept watching i knew this was our worse start to the season since when i cant remember ...

    No it was bad judgement. How did he conclude that he was free to do it?

    He clearly wasn't.

    But its just one of many things mainly in the first 3 quarters that buried us.

    He was just unlucky. You call him a fool .... he was a big reason for our last qtr comeback, he played superbly. Gibson made a freak tackle, it was just one of those things. You ask any player in the league, including the high and mighty Judd, and they would have played on as well.

    You are the fool.

    at 3/4 time I msged friends wondering why we weren't 100 down, we were so pathetic.

    why did it take until the last quarter to get started. did they even kick backwards once in that last quarter?

    Totally Agree with you FitZ. A team can't get away with a win by only placing 1 good quarter of footy. We saw in the space of a half, Melbourne's best and worst. All i ask for is 4-quarters of football. That's not asking much is it? I mean that's what they're paid to do, right?

  • Quote

    I really don't see how North have strung 6 wins together, they looked very average to me.

  • Quote

    if a melbounre player made that same tackle i bet you 99 times out of 100 the filthy maggotty umpires would have called a free kick against us............bastards. oh yeah we didnt deserve to win but a great final effort for once.

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
