[censored] off Melbourne. What a total joke. Players running thru tackles. Free players everywhere and a goal after the siren. 
Embarrassing display.

    [censored] sake Kolt are you [censored] kidding me with taking 5 seconds to kick a [censored] ball, and we concede on the siren after all that work.


    Tholstrup's lack of speed for a 1st round pick is a worry

    Roo was in a great position to mark and closer to goal. Fritta knew he’d get the free if he didn’t mark it. 

    We'll agrew to disagree Jaded.

    Take the open target 30 meters out every time for mine

    For his size Sparrow can't be making weak tackling efforts like that.

    He’s not good enough to be out there.

    Koltyn had to be better then. Costs us a potential goal which results in them transition forward for a goal right on the siren.

    We really are bad. 


    One tackle and that doesn't happen

    and we cough up the junk time goal. great

    our snior players were pathtic that first half. embarrassing

    and the umps can just [censored] off

    You have got to be kidding me. A golden chance to get back in the game but no, the junk time extraordinaires never cease to disappoint.

    It is hard work sometimes...


    Out of all the garbage today that last 20 seconds was unacceptable. How do you concede a goal there?

    +24 insider 50s is coach killing territory.

    If I hear anyone even try to excuse this performance I'll lose it.

    Fritsch burned Kolt badly there coming inside 50.  Got away with one there.

    Just before that. He jogged after his opponent, Pearce as he made a contest in the centre. He just stopped and watched him.

    Fritsch drives me mad with his laziness and lack of aggression and work rate.

    I'm sure he'll pick up some cheapies at the end when the game is done.

    I don’t want to see Sparrow in Demons colors again after today. He’s just sh*thouse. I’ve long thought it, but today it sticks out.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      Hands up if you thought, like me, at half-time in yesterday’s game at TIO Traeger Park, Alice Springs that Melbourne’s disposal around the ground and, in particular, its kicking inaccuracy in front of the goals couldn’t get any worse. Well, it did. And what’s even more damning for the Melbourne Football Club is that the game against St Kilda and its resurgence from the bottomless pit of its miserable start to the season wasn’t just lost through poor conversion for goal but rather in the 15 minutes when the entire team went into a slumber and was mugged by the out-of-form Saints. Their six goals two behinds (one goal less than the Demons managed for the whole game) weaved a path of destruction from which they were unable to recover. Ross Lyon’s astute use of pressure to contain the situation once they had asserted their grip on the game, and Melbourne’s self-destructive wastefulness, assured that outcome. The old adage about the insanity of repeatedly doing something and expecting a different result, was out there. Two years ago, the score line in Melbourne’s loss to the Giants at this same ground was 5 goals 15 behinds - a ratio of one goal per four scoring shots - was perfectly replicated with yesterday’s 7 goals 21 behinds. 
      This has been going on for a while and opens up a number of questions. I’ll put forward a few that come to mind from this performance. The obvious first question is whether the club can find a suitable coach to instruct players on proper kicking techniques or is this a skill that can no longer be developed at this stage of the development of our playing group? Another concern is the team's ability to counter an opponent's dominance during a run on as exemplified by the Saints in the first quarter. Did the Demons underestimate their opponents, considering St Kilda's goals during this period were scored by relatively unknown forwards? Furthermore, given the modest attendance of 6,721 at TIO Traeger Park and the team's poor past performances at this venue, is it prudent to prioritize financial gain over potentially sacrificing valuable premiership points by relinquishing home ground advantage, notwithstanding the cultural significance of the team's connection to the Red Centre?

    • POSTGAME: St. Kilda

      After kicking the first goal of the match the Demons were always playing catch up against the Saints in Alice Spring and could never make the most of their inside 50 entries to wrestle back the lead.
