Probably an honourable, but showed signs tonight. I hate blaming umps but [censored] me. They give Geelong an eternity to get rid of the ball "play on" any 50)50 free kick Geelong

    So the difference basically is the two late goals we gave up in the first quarter. Give it your all Dees.

    Chandler has been huge

    Unlikely we'll win from here, we just waste too many entries into our fwd 50.

    I counted at least 3 certain goals missed due to our poor disposal.

    They’re putting their hearts into it. lack polish but can’t argue with the effort. still in it at 3/4 time is better than i was thinking.

    sharp very lightweight. offering very little

    He looks a bit one dimensional. And he might have speed in a straight line but isn’t evasive. Reminds me of Sam Blease, except not as quick maybe.

    Genuinely questionable umpiring - glad to see us lift now. Not wanting an honourable defeat.

    Didn't sight Henderson or Langford much in the third.


    Very proud of the effort. A few playing light weight but most are giving everything they have. Even if they mess it up they are tying to change he angle and run into spaces. But I don't know how much more bad F50 play I can take. Burning players running past or free, missing targets by 2-5 metres, kicking to the advantage of the defender when we have a one-on-one.

    We can do it from here, but I think our general sloppiness will shoot us in the foot.

    Will we?

    No way, we should've scored 3 more goals in that QTR. Wasting our entries to our fwd 50.

    Great.

    Hopefully that's the last we ever see of Sharp in a Melbourne jumper.

    Jesus Fritsch

    He's playing better than previous weeks but still making the occasional meal.

    And sadly still kicking zero goals.

    How many for the year?

    One.

    I.mean it's the fwd line from hell.

    No firepower at all.

    Six goals.

    Move Tmac or May Goody.

    You can be as stubborn as you want but good luck being stubborn when your coaching from your couch at home mate.

    Won't be long now if we lose this.

    Do something.

    Your only staring down the barrel of unemployment.

    Stupid kick by gawn & even dumb by fritsch then.

    I know he isnt a mid fielder etc but is there any chance Max could kick a low raking kick up the line instead of attempting to seed the clouds almost every time

    Spargy pants on for Sharp. That'll get Dazz up and about!

    Edited by Demon Dynasty


    Why didn't Fritsch steady then.....seems to panic and just wants to get rid of the ball.

     

    Dees could pull off a narrow win here with a bit of luck ... have showed some positive intent and signs in the 3rd quarter ...

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      It was bad enough that the Melbourne Football Club created yet another humiliating scenario inside its wretched season at Marvel Stadium last Sunday, but the final insult is that it has been commanded to return to the scene of the crime to inflict further punishment on its fans this week. Incidentally, if this match preview, of a game that promises to be one of the most unattractive fixtures in the history of the game, happens to cut out of your computer screen three quarters of the way through, it’s no coincidence. I’ll be mirroring the Demons’ lacklustre effort against St Kilda from last Sunday when they conceded the largest last quarter turnaround for victory in the history of the game.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.
