Bell - was hardly sighted

Bruce - played with discomfort

Buckley - seemed completely overawed

Carroll - played under duress

Davey - career worst performance

Garland - a year away

Green - often found floundering

Johnson - a commendable effort

Jones - team's bravest performer

McDonald - age has wearied

McLean - never stopped trying

Miller - has learnt nothing

Moloney - some valuable involvement

Morton - oh so raw

Neitz - tried to inspire

Newton - one trick pony

Petterd - was rarely sighted

Robertson - fat and disinterested

Weetra - slow and unsure

Wheatley - needed the run

White - needn't have played

Yze - was probably playing

Yeah, its called no heart

3 players I hated today:

Miller - Dumb, slow, lacks awareness... Why the hell do we persist with him? What do the coaching staff see that we don't? He's a pathetic excuse for a footballer.

Newton - Soft. Can't provide a contest at ground level.

Robbo - Lazy.... didn't chase, didn't tackle. 3 token goals when there was no sting in the game.

Morton - a scared boy playing against men

At the start he looked out of place

But he did settle

In fact he made a courageous play running with the flight of the ball and got cleaned up.

Cameron Bruce has not done that once in over 160 games. He was shown up by a 17 year old kid.

[censored] Mojo

He had to go hard into a contest in the last quarter & didn't flinch.

He was far from our worst & will inspire us over the next decade.

If you feel the need to be a big man have a go @ some of our 8 to 10 year players,

most where a disgrace in the heat of battle today.

Indeed.

Cale showed composer in many contests, and it's a good start.

I can't imagine how bad it must have been for him and Weetra, playing their first match, and having to deal with such crap all around them.

Unfair assessment of Bell and Petterd. Bell shut down his opponent, and was then forced to play on Franklin, who he did reasonably well against (given the quality of delivery and lack of Melbourne pressure). His tackling is superb, and so is his ball use, but when you are left all on your own to stand against Franklin, you can't be rebounding the ball and creating play.

As for Petterd, we should be thankful that he's alive, let alone playing with such courage.

Debatable. Was surrounded by [censored] which didn't help...

I wouldn't blame him if he threw in the towel and told them all to stick it.

The poor guy has been playing his heart out for years, carrying a pathetic team on his shoulders, being the only leader on and off the field.

In this, his twilight years, it would be nice if the players he carried for years payed him some respect and actually played like they care.

It is terrible that someone so talented, so honest, so passionate is going to leave this club without a flag, and through no fault of his own.

That he was the first, and probably only player to run down a Hawks defender during the entire game, is a complete disgrace.

He shouldn't be chasing the opponents of his 20 year old teammates ffs!

I can't single anyone out today. What's the point? I was laughing almost flabbergasted as to how bad we are.

Here's the ONLY postive. We know we are shithouse in Round 1 as opposed to being heartbroken somewhere else down the line.

Meh. There are more deserving players that have left the game without one. Neitz has been a great servant, but he was terrible today and lacked leadership

Leave the kid alone - show a bit of courage in the last quarter.

What the whole side needs is to learn how to tackle and hurt - there were so many soft tackles today - some supporters near me were just laughing at how soft we were.

Agreed BP, thought PJ at least showed pride / stomach for the battle

Agree, PJ tried all day. I also thought Weetra did quite well - i.e. he at least had a go!

Otherwise, the worst performance by a Melbourne team in probably 30 years!

    CROSSROADS by The Oracle

    Melbourne stands at the crossroads.  Sunday’s game against the West Coast Eagles who have not met the Demons at the MCG in more than ten years, is a make or break for the club’s finals aspirations.  That proposition is self-evident since every other team the club will be opposed to over the next eight weeks of footy is a prospective 2024 finalist. To add to this perspective is the fact that while the Demons are now in twelfth position on the AFL table, they are only a game and a half b

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi
