Gawn and Petracca senior leaders missing relative sitters (Tracs a bit harder but should be nailing those) absolutely kill us. Not good enough.

Chandler burning Fritsch open in the pocket. Not good enough.

Pressure for 2nd quarter back to rubbish levels. Not good enough.

They deserve a rocket at halftime.

    This team finds new ways to embarrass itself and its supporters.

    Fug me sideways.

    With how putrid we are at defending fast ball movement, I'm surprised we've won a game tbh.


    I'm not one to do my block but that was disgraceful. All that effort to set up chances and then laziness, sloppy work, even arrogance. They need the biggest spray of all time.

    Terrible game of footy. Half time score in good conditions what decent sides would post in a quarter.

    Our inability to capitalise on this clearance dominance is ridiculous.

    Watch Reid kick three in the second half just to add insult to injury.

    Did not take our chances. Then played liked heroes expecting it would come with half ar$sed efforts. Then a slight lift in pressure from a C grade team and senior players start to panic with the ball. So Melbourne.

    Playing one tall forward in Petty which is no tall forward when he chops out in the ruck is up there with one of Goodwins worst selection decisions.

    Be hard to win now they have their tails up. Over there its a different kettle of fish. Once you give them a sniff at home - its hard to swing back momentum. We wont win now. They kicked 6 points before they kicked a goal, then kicked 4, lucky for us Reid missed a gimme. Gawn playing well, Tracc playing well, Langford dominating, Windsor started well. Rivers sh*thouse, Tholstrup hopeless, Melksham - please retire.

    The Eagles just playing man on man ....

    That's enough to get on top of us and turn the match

    No run and carry from our backline and our fwd line still stinks.

    Fritta and Petty just ain't up to it. At least tonight.

    Despite all the criticism of Oliver , we could certainly use him tonight because Kozzie and Viney ain't the answer today.

    Our transition into ourvfwd line in the first was fast and direct.

    That quarter was just indecisive and slow and into a quagmire.

    What has happened to the new gameplan

    That second quarter was the worst I have seen in decades.

    Goodwin either has no idea of a game plan, and / or cannot inspire his players. Either way he needs to join Dutton in retirement.

    That was a poor last 10 minutes but the umpiring in this game is an absolute disgrace. If we get within 40m of goal its an automatic free to the Weagles. First quarter we had their backmen cold dropping the ball, play on, for us Tholstrup and Pickett dropping the ball the latter an unbelievable decision. The non frees in front of goal and frees to them are to me cheating and not umpiring in the moment, I'm over it. add our poor kicking for goal and ridiculous unrealistic marking attempts forward and it is unwatchable.

    Followed by the 4th quarter where we are like 30-250 or whatever so far this season.

    • 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.
