GAMEDAY: Rd 02 vs North Melbourne

Featured Replies

[censored] off

 
 

A wet deck brought GWS down to our level last week. Today really shows how bad our skills are


When was the last time Melbourne:

- Conceded this many marks in defensive 50

- Conceded this many scores from centre clearance.

Chandler? You got to be kidding, he may have the desire but his executions ... 🤦🏻

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. 

 

I’m up in level 3 with two Roos-supporting mates. Good times.

  • PODCAST: Gold Coast

    I’ll be away for the next few weeks, so Binman will be holding the fort for our podcasts covering the Suns, Bombers and Lions matches. As a result, there will be no live podcasts during this period, and we won’t be taking calls or voicemails. Binman will still be dipping into this thread to select a few questions to answer, while also combining the long-form Stats Files podcast with the Demonland Podcast for these shows. Your questions and comments are a huge part of what makes the podcast work, so please post anything you’d like to ask or say below and we’ll do our best to give you a shout-out on the show. Please try to keep each post focused on one specific topic or player to make podcast preparation a little easier. If you have multiple topics you’d like to raise, please put them in separate posts.

  • PREVIEW: Gold Coast

    Melbourne’s slow starts have been a troubling theme for a while. Against the Suns, they started slowly in both of their games, they trailed by 5.7.37 to 0.1.1 at quarter time at Peoples First Stadium in Round 16. This season, the story has remained the same and if the Demons fail to shake off this issue against the unbeaten Gold Coast Suns, they will be in serious danger of capitulating once again in their Easter Sunday showdown.
