May loses a contest against Horne-Francis, runs underneath the ball and Max has to make a dangerous tackle.

May then lets Burgoyne mark uncontested 15m out. 🤦

    Petty must be a catholic, hasn't touched the pill!

    Ha.

    He was on the bench for a bit and it improved things.

    Let's just let Roo have a decent time fwd without Petty and see what happens.

    People still think Langford needs to be managed?

    10 touches at 90%

    he is pretty much our best mid already

    How was it a brain fade? It was a great tackle

    all he had to do was push him over the line.... but no gives away the obvious free

    From this point on we just have to assume umps will cost us 3-4 goals a game.

    Just to make sure we miss the 8 so we can't end the season of one or more of their preferred teams

    If that’s in the back I want to see them pay it the other way. Giorgiadis flopped in an effort to get the ball over the line. Absolute joke

    They paid Dangerous tackle, still a B/S free.

    Honestly the backline and midfield are killing us with their revolting lack of defensive intent.

    May needs a bake. Shades of quarter one versus Saints.

    Petty must have the same magnetic polarity as the ball. Every time he gets near the near the ball it repels away from him.

    We are not losing because of the umpires.

    Reasons?

    Melksham brain fade = 50m penalty = goal.

    Bowey brain fade = goal.

    Delivery into forward line = hopeful long bombs galore.

    would be good to see one of forwards lead towards the ball carrier for a chnage

    Yep no movement in the F50 so ball carriers are just kicking long to defenders and it looks like we are really missing a defensive small to stop them cleaning the loose ball up so easily in our full forward line.

    Port player opts to kick a dribbler out of defense obviously curling towards the boundary line instead of a drop punt and the brain rot commentary club have the gall to act like it was a legitimate pass attempt.

    That’s even WORSE! What the [censored] was dangerous about that? He didn’t turn him or slam him down. What a stupid stupid interpretation!

    Just about to cheer that we finally got a junk time goal, only to give up another junk time goal. Due to a brain fade. Not the best tackle. Max should know better, even if it was a bit soft

    Anyway, positives are that we started well and Roo can’t get a much better boost to his confidence than that, he should use that to kick a bag, and drive a win for us. We can win this but got to stay sharp, and no more gifts.

    6 marks inside 50 to port that quarter is awful. Essendon gave up 22 marks inside 50 to Geelong last night. We are on track for that if we don't lift defensively

    Petracca just the 2 disposals. Needs to lift.

    Lever ...

    Dead set liability. Too lazy to defend so instead just wants to guard space. Dropping McDonald for him was a massive mistake .

    Always the late goal in red time. So poorly coached

    13-2 clearances

    what’s the point if we give it away every time.

    they just sit back and mark the shanks

      With only 3 games to go, all against Top 8 fancies, the Demons face a daunting task as they return to the MCG when they play the Western Bulldogs. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons return to town fresh off a thumping win over the back-to-back wooden spooners, the West Coast Eagles, played in front of a sparse crowd at Marvel Stadium, the same venue that hosted last week's heartbreaking loss.

    • 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.
