When was the last time Melbourne:

- Conceded this many marks in defensive 50

- Conceded this many scores from centre clearance.

Easily our best on ground.

I mean, seriously, he leads us for marks inside 50, goals, score involvement and metres gained, is behind only tall defenders for 1%ers, going at 75% disposal efficiency.

Has been our only clear winner on the ground.

    The fence sitters to sign up as members just fell off the other side and off the cliff 🧨

    Memberships numbers will drop even further with this [censored]

     

    I want to see a lot of players dropped after today.

    But what I really want is every single person at the club responsible for not fixing our fwd line issues that have been so glaringly obvious for just too long.

    Surely that's fair.

    I think those of us who pay their membership and go each week deserve a lot better than this. Much,much ,much, better.

    It's hard to understand that we won a flag less than only FOUR years ago.

    And how far we have fallen since we almost beat the 23 premiers and we're likely to win a flag.

    I guess there are a couple of superstar midfielders that let us down and the club has done the rest.

    It's a shame really. I know it's early days but I think this will be a bad marker like that Freo game when things went belly up.

    I know it's not Goodys fault but I think it's alarm bells now and time to panic.... Time for a sweep for me. 

    Cheers guys.

    Going to be great seeing the happy clappers gloss over this performance

    Disgusting and disgraceful are the two most apt words

     

    It can't be overstated how pathetic our football skills are

     

    Thanks for killing the team Simon

    Some of these comments are absolutely absurd.

    Xerri is best ruck in the comp and still on the rise. Max had one bad game against him. He doesn’t need to retire after one poor game. 
     

    Langdon was a bright spot last year and he’s being asked to shift roles this year. He’s had a bad game. Doesn’t mean his career is over. 
     

    Get a grip people.

    What’s happened to the Trent Rivers who was supposed to be our breakout midfielder this year? 
     

    We can’t even attract any quality free agents because they know we’re a basket case due to the selfish actions of some our supposed leaders.

    I cannot wait to see what the defenders say about this performance; wet last week, I didn't have enough sleep, or their loading, spin it all you like. It’s woeful, one-paced midfield being showing up again.

    Agree it's been an issue for far too long. But the absolutely lunacy and idiocy of the kicking i50 is just as bad an issue, if not worse. From seasoned, best and fairest winning midfielders. One in particular today.

    Imagine the crowd next week against the Gold Coast. Glad I've got other plans

    All I have to say is [censored] ‘em… they are so disinterested and making zero effort. Absolutely hopeless!!!! And that’s coming from an eternal optimist.

    Yep. The lack of effort is very evident. I’m honestly a bit shocked. 
     

    Dunno what’s happening within the group/club, but second game of the season and playing like this is a massive concern.

    Was there a wedding or 21st last night. Maybe fat boy slim gig. Either way our prep was terrible to put on this display.

    No need to be alarmed, we’re 3.3% above the bombers on the ladder.

    • 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.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      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?
