Only thing is, has a full pre-season to be ready again.

This night doesn't want to end.

Or a knee.

    I can think of three instances over the last 4 or 5 years where play has been stopped and Melbourne has featured in all of them.

    WCE v Dees in 2021, BL v Dees 2023, and now I believe.

    Ah... I thought this was a post match thread. I forgot it's the game day thread.

    We always cop the lightning game

    Hopefully it has broken some sort of curse.

    The only thing I can take out of tonight.

    I'am starting to grow very tired of the regime right at the top from Roffey, Pert, Richardson and Goodwin.

    "Play the youngsters"-  How about we do it next year in key defence too?

    TMAC should retire and let a kid come through. dont care how good he's been, last few weeks have been pretty poor. Play Petty or Turner 

    Trade Salem, soft and overated the last couple of years.

    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.

    I'm 100% with you. Big sook who likes to get the ball in the open by himself. Has skills but no gumption at all. Let the scribes have a go at both of us.

    I just hope our defence holds up with two key defenders using walking frames

     

    I’m sitting here with electricity on watching the TV

     

    Weak p-r-i-c-k-s. 
     

    I ain’t worried.

    They spread so much better than we do. They spread like butter left out on the bench on a warm day. We're butter coming straight out of the fridge.

    And they use a knife. We use our fingers then try to mark the ball or miss tackles.

    [censored] me I played in lighting storms in under 12’s. Play on FFS

    In the extremely rare instance of a lighting strike it would hit the top of the stadium or the goal posts

    Whilst he is soft he has talent though, but the reality is he's a third forward not a main guy, if you can improve the forward line he will be more dangerous.

    I just don't think we are in a position with the list to lose both Tomlinson and TMac.

    Even if TMac is only depth next year. We need quality tall position players.

    There is plenty of other players in front of the exit queue.

    Plus he's been excellent tonight in a depleted backline

    T-Mac can hold his head up tonight and most of the season.

    Thommo is depth at best at this point and the ability to step up to AFL level and have an impact may have gone past him now.

    Fritsch and ANB for Rachele and a second rounder

    I’d do it but I seriously doubt Port would.

    Sorry but I had to call it a day. I can’t no more.

    Call it off now, give them the points and we'll be able to hear them whinge because they were robbed of a chance of a 100 point win. Lovely.

    I am so disgusted at this umpiring 

    Me too, but it has little to do with our failure to function tonight.

    I hope Crisp does his hamstring of the bone or a knee after the lightning.

    Doesn't deserve Jimmy's record the scumbag.

    Why? He has been a good player for a long time. Maybe not as good as Jimma but give him a break he has kept at it. Stop having a go at these players who have performed consistently for a long time without injuries.

    Surely the lightning would find the highest point, in which case Max would be in grave danger.

    • 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.
