Agree.

Will McCreery and Crisp be looked at for dangerous tackles, I think not.

It’d be great if Crisp was rubbed out. He’s closing in on Jimma’s 244 record.

The AFL should quietly step in to ensure the Stynes legend isn’t diminished!

    not much defending going on in this game

    Yep, and it looks like it could be the Crows Kryptonite...

    EFC have looked 2nd rate yet still manage to kick 100 points.

    It's no coincidence that the flags dried up not long after the Salary Cap was introduced and they were no longer able to buy success.

    May their misery and misfortune endure for at least another thirty years.

    My bluebagger brother was bragging about all their flags until I pointed out that they bought them all; akin to boasting about getting lucky in a brothel.

    If the scum are do bad. How come they have kicked 100 points. Did Adelaide just relax

    Six or seven strong interstate teams this year. Going to be a battle for the 8 and once again the possibility of few finals in Melbourne.

    Don't think I could barrack for Hawthorn

    Now is the time, he was certainly wasted last week 

    We struggle to score and have done since Rd 10 2022, people like to throw up all different stats to support their case or shoot down someone else’s. Stats can bugger off, we can’t score naturally with the exception of Kosi. Everything feels so programmed. I watched the Dogs last night move the footy, bugger me they were good. For all of Salem’s 30 odd touches last week he is the least damaging player. Some of the hawks / dogs kicks from their back 50 to a man in space which led to a goal or scoring opportunity. It’s frustrating, then I’ll cop from someone what if we won? I’d still feel the same about certain players and the way we play because I feel we could be so much better with some tweaking of the game plan. Or is it simply our game plan is what it is because our some of our players are limited. But then I think I don’t even know a third of the dogs / hawks but they’re well drilled.

    We have a great chance of scoring well tomorrow. If we don’t the pressure will begin

    Loved seeing an open free flowing game of footy at the MCG on a sunny Saturday afternoon, but annoyed Essendon were involved. The Crows looked very good through the middle, defense and up forward. But to concede 100 points shows glaring holes in the midfield defensive running. Other top teams will tear that to pieces so it is "watch-this-space" for me about the Crows.

    I know it's MFCSS but those are the games I always dread, where we should win big but don't, or worse still, lose them!

    Well it will be goodbye to the Coach very soon if that happens 

    Good teams win regularly

    A lot of Salem’s possies come from the 20 metre to the Back Pocket kick outs, which then put us in a difficult 2nd kick possession. It stops run from the D50 as players further up the ground get manned up.

    As much as i'd like to see them come back from the bleaches again and beat these pretenders, It's gonna be a long & painful year for the Toiges me thinks

    Those young kids would have spent a lot of energy winning last week, and good luck to them. But the long grind will begin today

    Hope Blues fans are watching the Port game

    Blitz is always a good read...

    Just as well we postponed the Gold Coast game or we would be 3 zip.

    Stop trying to win you are not good enough

    This is pure Essington baby. Gonna be one hell of a year.

    I wonder if the guy that delivered the horse manure at Richmond years ago is still around? We should recruit him!

    There’s always a silver lining. At least we don’t have to worry about the post bye collapse, we are already there.

    Jack watts was a better number 1 pick.

    • WHAT’S NEXT? by The Oracle

      What’s next for a beleagured Melbourne Football Club down in form and confidence, facing  intense criticism and disapproval over some underwhelming recent performances and in the midst of a four game losing streak? Why, it’s Adelaide which boasts the best percentage in the AFL and has won six of its last seven games. The Crows are hot and not only that, the game is at the Adelaide Oval; yet another away fixture and the third in a row at a venue outside of Victoria. One of the problems the Demons have these days is that they rarely have the luxury of true home ground advantage, something they have enjoyed just once since mid April.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.
