Why the [censored] would we sub kolt.

Sparrow and chandler have been 100000% worse 

Zero tackles given his role might have something to do with it.

Because they play the same role

Why are they all unmanned so often in their forward 50?

Ok we are down in the ruck but why so poor in defensive effort today??

You can't defend so many horrid turnovers in bad spots.

Sparrow needs to be dropped for Laurie.  Too slow and badly out of form for months now.

    Is Petty worth anything as a trade now??

    Even a packet of Twisties?

    I'd even take Chicken Twisties

    Yes the 2023 off season not looking good at all decision wise by our off-field team.

    Lever is our Darcy Moore -  just wants to lay off and can’t defend a man…

    can’t believe we didn’t pick a ruck - either stupidity or arrogance

    Hubris. We got away with it in the wet against a B grade ruck combo but on a dry-ish deck against one of the best if not the best ruck combos in the league it was always going to bite us.

    You can say "oh yeah a VFL ruck is going to be the difference in a 10 goal loss" but it just gave us no chance, being on the back foot from the get go, unable to win a clearance and the ball locked in their forward line for a large portion of the game.

    Coaching clinic by Longmuir today. Utterly disgraceful effort by the coaching team. Major changes needed.

    Hawks deserve to be ahead of us. Been sensational for weeks

    They will be by the end of this. 

    Is Melksham even playing?

    He should have been subbed off rather than the Kolt

    This is going to get very ugly now 

    100 point loss on the cards

    FFS we won a Flag on this ground…

    Why would you start Salem in the middle instead of Rivers??

    Rivers is a mile ahead in the middle.  SG has seriously lost the plot this season for mine.

    Ahhh because we are 6 goals down and need a change. Rivers was slow and lazy in the middle today. He wasn’t dominating.

    Rivers has improved the backline. Salem has been more involved in the middle.

    If we had 2 Rivers we’d just play both of them.


    5 minutes of sustained effort  wow

    Hope you don’t pull a muscle Dees

    Also allowed too many easy around ground relief marks from Darcy.

    A two meter tall competitor just might get a few more of those to ground and give you a 50/50 chance.

    Especially up around the wing where a ground ball win can often result in a shot on goal.

    How wasn’t that 50 against the “athlete”

    • 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.
