Need to get as many games into kids as possible.

Need to look for a coach with an attacking mindset.

Need to make some hard decisions. Kozzie, Clary and Petracca need to be turned into multiple first round picks, shame the bombers will get Pick 1 this year

Langford should be permanently in the middle for the rest of the year hes got something about him

    You had Djokovic just break his own record by reaching the most Masters 1000 finals in Miami (60), so we can legitimately shake our own 186 record next week considering how insipid and spineless this team is.

    This isn’t even anywhere near rock bottom.

    Lindsay (a rare shining light) injured, and humiliated by a mid-tier team on our home deck in our ‘response’ game.

    We’re an unskilled, uninspired rabble playing boring, lifeless footy.

    Anyone have any positives to share ??

    Please?🙏

    This was evident from last week. You can play and lose by trying then there is last week and this weeks performance.

    Long season ahead. Worst part is Dons hold our first pick. They are truly laughing at us right now.

    We are the whipping club of the AFL once again.

    Just a filthy display by a rudderless team with zero confidence.

    Why would Trac even want to stay?

    Majority of the team phoning in a performance in front of a ~20k crowd when he could be on the big stage.

    Who could blame him.

    Essendon will get a good pick out of us come the end of the year.

    We need answers by the coach and president. This is substandard.

    Total dumpster fire. No composure, no chemistry, no system, no connection. It's been a long time since I've seen us look this flat and miserable on the field.

    What worries me is that multiple players are going backwards really quickly. Fritsch looks lost, Rivers is totally devoid of confidence, and JVR has completely forgotten how to lead.

    I didn't think things could get much worse than last week but here we are.

    We’re cooked. Well and truly.

    Expected a response. That was not acceptable

    It’s going to be a long season

    The only positive that can come from this game is hoping that Lindsay hasn't done his ACL.

    Truly dire performance that rivals anything from the Neeld era.

    He doesn't mind taking a million from the club though. What a spineless way to give up on the club that made you the star you are.

    • 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.
