Skills must be a high priority next year. We don't know how to change direction, baulk, weave, evade, find a low 30mtre kick to advantage, sit at the front of the marking contest to crumb.....just a couple of suggestions.

It honestly looked like a VFL vs an AFL side the entire night.

Not surprised that we looked VFL level. Realistically we should only have 1 maybe 2 of those players getting a game at this stage. 

Our list depth is a real worry.

If they go back on just stand near daicos. The lightening won't strike him

I hope a player brings out a gum tree branch over Daicis’s head. 🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞

 

This is a weirdly fitting end to a very odd and disappointing 12 months as a Melbourne member.

Well, unlike I suspect many of the people on this thread, I have been at the game. All our best midfielders were out. Lever and May were not playing. Free kicks were 3 to one in their favour. We made some terrible errors, but I think our players did their best and I'm not going to criticise them.

100% agree And I was there too*.
 

(Had to leave at half time to visit ‘The Royal’ for a quick pot, but still home by end of the game)

I wanted to stay for Nibbler but I’ve had a truly horrible day and it took a lot of effort just to get there today. 
I lost my voice abusing Maynard. I got 20 Pies filth kicked out of the members area. I’m done.

Or hand ball with advantage to our players

Come off the grass Mc Donald was extremely competitive. I have bagged Lever , but his organisation skills would have been very handy tonight.

However I think this was treated as a practice matcxh to try out a new style of play. Unfortunately we were undermanned and unprepared. Collingwood play this running game so it was really difficult for our blokes to be trying something so different. Firstly in this game style you need to be moving more ,not letting using delaying tactics which lets the next level setup properly.

You have got to have the right personnel to play a particular game style. Collingwood have got it with Daicos 1 & 2 etc.

Have not said anything about Tmac..

You did a good job Jaded. 
 

personally I think you could have aimed higher with 50 of the fkr’s. But I’ll give you a silver star for your work.

Unlike others not disappointed losing Nibler, great clubman, played a role good luck to him.

Yes, I hear you. I was desperate to stay for him too. Also had a horrible week myself and coming down with something. That's a wrap.

I think most of us thought that McAdams and Fullarton would at the least be decent depth at the start of the year. Two decent players would make a big difference.


Sad end to the season with so many things going wrong, was at the game a dead rubber, the skills errors, missed targets …

completely agree we should throw away our most prolific goal scorer over the past 5 years. Also our most skilled played along side Kozzi

He is never going to be a hard man. He is our finisher. When we play well he looks great like the 6 he kicked in the GF

It’s not about him “never going to be a hard man” , it’s about him regularly being a serious defensive liability ie. lack lustre chase, feeble tackles. This also sets a horrible example to his teammates and surely can’t be good for team morale.

After I got the first 20, the rest left voluntarily with a few choice words from me

    As the Demons head into their Bye Round, it's time to turn our attention to the other matches being played. Which teams are you tipping this week? And which results would be most favourable for the Demons if we can manage to turn our season around? Follow all the non-Melbourne games here and join the conversation as the ladder continues to take shape.

  • 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.

    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?
