What a sad, embarrassing way to end the season. Barely fired a shot.

I'll probably cop flack for this but I think we should seriously entertain the idea of trading Fritsch.

    Omfg, free against Melk for using his body and strength. Umpires been horse**** the salt in the wounds.

    Any danger we can tackle? It amazes me how many times our players have both hand on them but they fend it off or worse, dispose cleanly of the ball.

    Definitely after the Brownlow.

    I'm just hoping that Woey can develop into a player that can reliably play a role. He is a liability at the moment and I cringe when I see him named in the team.

    He is way too slow by foot and upstairs.  There's just no weapons there at all that would suggest he'll be able to take the next step.

    He would need to gain a yard or two in pace and a massive improvement in agility and skills.  While anything's possible it seems very unlikely at this point.

    Isn't there a rule for lightning? There's a huge thunderstorm at the moment in the west.

    Stop the game and call it a draw…. 

    Or stay on and let it hit Maynard

    Diabolical Laurie 

    Shouldn't be in our list, don't understand why we keep expecting him to become a player.

    Is there any chance Petty could win just one one v one contest?

    Simon's Petty obsession has been a complete and utter fail this year bar about 2.5 matches.

    Could've played Jeffo for two or three matches just see where he's at and give us a diff look inside 50.  Plus maybe a few goals to spur him on to work harder towards 2025.

    Fritsch and ANB for Rachele and a second rounder

    Is that the same Rachele who’s been dumped for repeatedly not adhering to team first values ? Didn’t think we were needing that sort of contribution 

    Langdon likes to take the half half approach garding 2 players and then takes the closest player leaving a free player.


    It's disgraceful they are not suspending the match. This tells you that Ch7 controls the AFL.

    Does anyone else think about how we were so close to getting Max Holmes instead of Laurie everytime Laurie does something rubbish?

    I've been as critical of Petty as anyone this year but he has clearly improved in the latter part of the season. I don't think it would do Jeffo any good playing in this side tonight.

    It’s difficult to escape the conclusion there is a range of parties against our club

    Why did we go off against WCE?

    What is happening with the umpiring

    why doesn’t the club call this out

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      There was a time during the current Melbourne cycle that goes back to before the premiership when the club was the toughest to beat in the fourth quarter. The Demons were not only hard to beat at any time but it was virtually impossible to get the better them when scores were close at three quarter time. It was only three or four years ago but they were fit, strong and resilient in body and mind. Sadly, those days are over. This has been the case since the club fell off its pedestal about 12 months ago after it beat Geelong and then lost to Carlton. In both instances, Melbourne put together strong, stirring final quarters, one that resulted in victory, the other, in defeat. Since then, the drop off has been dramatic to the point where it can neither pull off victory in close matches, nor can it even go down in defeat  gallantly.

    • CASEY: Footscray

      At twenty-four minutes into the third term of the game between the Casey Demons and Footscray VFL at Whitten Oval, the visitors were coasting. They were winning all over the ground, had the ascendancy in the ruck battles and held a 26 point lead on a day perfect for football. What could go wrong? Everything. The Bulldogs moved into overdrive in the last five minutes of the term and booted three straight goals to reduce the margin to a highly retrievable eight points at the last break. Bouyed by that effort, their confidence was on a high level during the interval and they ran all over the despondent Demons and kicked another five goals to lead by a comfortable margin of four goals deep into the final term before Paddy Cross kicked a couple of too late goals for a despondent Casey. A testament to their lack of pressure in the latter stages of the game was the fact that Footscray’s last ten scoring shots were nine goals and one rushed behind. Things might have been different for the Demons who went into the game after last week’s bye with 12 AFL listed players. Blake Howes was held over for the AFL game but two others, Jack Billings and Taj Woewodin (not officially listed as injured) were also missing and they could have been handy at the end. Another mystery of the current VFL system.

    • PREGAME: Brisbane

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.
