Unacceptable q1, average from there. Lost players early which impacted rotations, but we are just not good enough.

Another wasted year.

Not sure what happens now.

We've wrecked these kids development & they don't seem to take the next step.

Or maybe they were never that good.

 

It should have been May dropped instead of Lever. Has gotten absolutely smashed by his opponents the last few games and has just seemed to have lost it. If the selection team had some sense, TMac would be in next week in his place,

Season over

Been over since the opening 5 games. Just has.

But it's not all doom and gloom. Is a lovely sunny winters day up here in Qld. Apparently all but an hour away some clown mob in red and blue played at playing football. Alas...no chocolates.

The Dees wouldn’t come to the party but I had one , well a very nice lunch at Ciao Papi on the Brissy River with family and friends. See....you can enjoy football. Just don't watch us !!

Insensitive some might protest. Well not nearly as much as the contempt shown by Melbourne to it's supporters. I truly salute those that ventured down the road. I do.

You'll excuse me , I have a dinner to get ready for.

The players got their just desserts ... I've yet to ponder mine. Maybe Tiramasu or a moorish Creme Brulee ...mmmmm

It's a Grand ol' .. It's a G̶r̶a̶n̶d̶ o̶l̶d̶ team... just, barely..

Anyone recommend the replay ?

Third game out of our the last four on the road. A player down for three quarters (we had 13 fewer interchange rotations as a result). Opponent is a top 8 contender who’s lost something like 2 games at home in 2 years.

Is that enough to offset a disgraceful first quarter? Laying just 7 tackles in the first quarter (to their 18) despite them having 23 more touches is nothing but unacceptable.

And if that wasn’t enough, we then had 8 more inside 50s (all in the fourth) and 7 more scoring shots than them across the last three quarters but only outscored them by a combined 17 points, because we kicked 12.12 to their 10.7.

Yet another game where we have one awful quarter, and yet another game of inaccuracy (is it any wonder that the inaccuracy got worse as the game got closer? No, is the answer).

Pack up your stuff Simon, your Gameplan is not up to it & the Team is not Fit enough

The Longer you stay on, the more damage will occur

it’s like watching a train wreck and it starts from the top with what’s occurred off field to our President & CEO then it filtrates to decisions made at the footy dept & target both experienced assistant coaches & trade in experience talent to fill the holes in our list yet we got VFL players and all due respect to Jones who we love but he’s no Yze or Maqualter both come from premiership teams and are now coaching.


I reckon that was the most enjoyable game so far this season!

During the first quarter I was in a meeting with my local footy club discussing how we can improve the development of our younger players.

During the second quarter I cleaned up the front yard.

During the third quarter I watched our friends place get auctioned off.

During the 4th quarter I was preparing our windows ready for installation into our extension.

Can somebody tell me how the team went? On second thought, its been a great day, let's not spoil it.

Not trying to seem facetious , truly not but I will ask THE question and it's really the only one:

Why, why the same same same maladies ??

Aren't there people ; professional types, specifically employed to oversee and fix these things ??

And then there's us.

Ahhh... uber here...


That first Q was putrid. As Jono Brown said it was the worst quarter all year from any team

If we put in any effort in that Q we win. so damn frustrating

Clayton Oliver is a shadow of his former self. Sad to see and hard to watch.

Jefferson is not afl level. JVR would of had more impact.

I disagree, probably didn't get to enough contests, but when he did, brought it to ground.

And he actually leads at ball carrier, apart from melksham all others ran away from ball.

Need to persist.

See how he and JVR go next few weeks.

Congrats to him but shame that Melksham kicked 5 goals. He's not the future

  • REPORT: Carlton

    I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

  • CASEY: Carlton

    The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

  • POSTGAME: Carlton

    A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
