That last F50 entry was a scene from Benny Hill.

Jack Henderson a beautiful kick around the ground, can’t buy a target inside 50, very funny.

    We definitely need to change the High Performance system. The Team is just not sharp

    In ‘21 we would have smashed this game

    Remember the good ol days when it was an arm wrestle in the first half. We would tweak some changes in the half time break and then steamroll teams in the second half?

    Dreaming....

    We also need to move on, forget '21 is history. Seems that our coach hasn't and thinks we are still a premiership fancy.

    Come up with a refreshed list, new coach with new ideas.

    I am remembering’21 because Burgess was in charge

    We are nowhere near as fit now

    Not too bad so far to be honest, much better than last week. You can see what they’re trying to do. Just need a bit more composure

    You would be an expert about not having a clue.

    Van Rooyen a mile off.

    Fritsch.. some of the decisions. Not a half forward.

    Petty was responsible for at least 2 goals in the 4Q.

    Oliver, viney same story.. hack forward.

    Tackles slipping everywhere.

    Tuned in for quarter 4. I watched for 5 mins. Didn’t watch last week. We are worse than I thought. Something has to change.

    To know what this team is capable of and to witness this performance just beggars belief. I think there’s going to be a lot of players requesting a trade if we don’t start turning this ship.

    This is starting to look like the coming of an other real dark dark age.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      Hands up if you thought, like me, at half-time in yesterday’s game at TIO Traeger Park, Alice Springs that Melbourne’s disposal around the ground and, in particular, its kicking inaccuracy in front of the goals couldn’t get any worse. Well, it did. And what’s even more damning for the Melbourne Football Club is that the game against St Kilda and its resurgence from the bottomless pit of its miserable start to the season wasn’t just lost through poor conversion for goal but rather in the 15 minutes when the entire team went into a slumber and was mugged by the out-of-form Saints. Their six goals two behinds (one goal less than the Demons managed for the whole game) weaved a path of destruction from which they were unable to recover. Ross Lyon’s astute use of pressure to contain the situation once they had asserted their grip on the game, and Melbourne’s self-destructive wastefulness, assured that outcome. The old adage about the insanity of repeatedly doing something and expecting a different result, was out there. Two years ago, the score line in Melbourne’s loss to the Giants at this same ground was 5 goals 15 behinds - a ratio of one goal per four scoring shots - was perfectly replicated with yesterday’s 7 goals 21 behinds. 
      This has been going on for a while and opens up a number of questions. I’ll put forward a few that come to mind from this performance. The obvious first question is whether the club can find a suitable coach to instruct players on proper kicking techniques or is this a skill that can no longer be developed at this stage of the development of our playing group? Another concern is the team's ability to counter an opponent's dominance during a run on as exemplified by the Saints in the first quarter. Did the Demons underestimate their opponents, considering St Kilda's goals during this period were scored by relatively unknown forwards? Furthermore, given the modest attendance of 6,721 at TIO Traeger Park and the team's poor past performances at this venue, is it prudent to prioritize financial gain over potentially sacrificing valuable premiership points by relinquishing home ground advantage, notwithstanding the cultural significance of the team's connection to the Red Centre?

      After a disappointing loss in Alice Springs the Demons return to the MCG to take on the Magpies in the annual King's Birthday Big Freeze for MND game. Who comes in and who goes out?

      After kicking the first goal of the match the Demons were always playing catch up against the Saints in Alice Spring and could never make the most of their inside 50 entries to wrestle back the lead.

      It's Game Day and the Demons have traveled to Alice Springs to take on the Saints and they have a massive opportunity to build on the momentum of two big wins in a row and keep their finals hopes well and truly alive.
