Came home during the first quarter break, and to my surprise we were even with Freo.

It's now 15 minutes into the second quarter and we're trailing by 7 goals :rolleyes:

Yep, another week, another terrible performance. Thank god this season is nearly over.

P.S.- GET A NEW MIDFIELD COACH ASAP!!!

    At least we're not faced with the difficult decision of whether we should win or lose...

    all set for round 22....

    Wow, we gave Freo their best 2nd quarter, ever. At least Brock is having a decent game with 16 touches. :)

    Also I am shocked to say I was very impressed with Miller's physical attack on the game! Took a beautiful contested mark in the 1st quarter and kicked the goal...

    We MUST change our tactics on point kick-ins.

    A good starting point would be to copy the opposition's tactics each week.

    We are falling down so badly each week in this fundamental test of basic coaching strategy.

    When Wardy kicked that shocker to Brownie (who was pulled offthe ball while not in possession), the turnover goal changed the game.

    jeez it had been a long season hasnt it...

    But, one positive is that the off season is going to the most interesting in a long time...

    Firstly we are going to get a new coach...people should note that if there is no announcement this week on the new coach it means sheedy has been chosen. there is no reason to wait till seasons end unless its sheedy bc he's still coaching an afl team.

    secondly the trade period will be intersting. i think we will be involved.

    the delistings over the preseason will be fascinating. will we do a cleanout?

    then the draft will be great, especially if we lose round 22.

    all i can say, is that robbo should be put out to pasture for round 22. then we will have such a shite team fielded that carlton will have no win bc it will be too obvious if they lose

    Not so, Hardwick and Bailey are assistants at clubs who will be playing finals........

    Worser?? What is this, a sheltered workshop?? Please tell me you didn't mean that.

    Well i said neitz or robbo would end up doing there knee worse than what it has been if we continue to play them, Jamar tapped the ball to freo 90% of the time today, ward kickin in was the DUMBEST idea ever, felt sorry for bruce made to follow tarant who has a big tank after missing what 4 weeks?

    What a dumb idea.

    How do you know it's Paul's fault? Do you know something we don't?

    Our midfield performance this season hasn't done him any favours.

    Daniher wasn't to blame for our injuries, but he still suffered when we lost form.

    I would think that both Paul Williams and our fitness coach won't be at Melbourne next year.

    Nar just putting 2 and 2 togethor.

    Our ability to get a clearance this year has been woeful. Our midfield pressure is non existent. Who should take the blame for that?

    Whoever's job it is to make sure they are applying pressure and winning clearences (is any of it their own responsibility?)

    It may well have something to do with Williams but it also might not. You don't know without spending any time in the coaches box. It annoys me when people want to sack everybody in sight when in reality, we've got no idea who is responsible for what.

    Fair call.

    I was in a grumpy mood, after another crap display.

    I'd still get a new midfield coach.

    That would be a problem with the coaching, too, yes?

    Ok, I for one don't have confidence in Williams - but that's because I really, really want Viney to come back and take over the midfield.

    Whatever people's opinions on Williams, can we agree that we'd be happier with Viney?

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

    • POSTGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons were sloppy all day and could not stop the run and carry of the fast moving Hawthorn as the Hawks cruised to an easy 36 point win. Is the season over yet?
