Its the game plan stupid.

Demons great Garry Lyon lashed out at a misfiring Melbourne, labelling them “pathetic”, “embarrassing” and “shambolic” after a woeful first half that resulted in only one goal as well as a striking report to midfielder Clayton Oliver. Well done MFC, my third child has now walked out on the Dees. And I don't blame them. Utter crap football club. When this club folds it will fall at the feet of Simon Goodwin and this pathetic Administration that have let a generation of kids switch clubs from the Dees. There will be no future supporters. Hopeless, spineless embarrassing, insipid, putrid and gutless.

I have seen a lot of spineless performances by Melbourne over the years but make no mistake this game is up there with the best of them. Peahearted tackles, no running, zero football IQ, crowding around the ball, 4 flying for a mark. Goodwin, just pack your and bags and go. And as for the umpires you can all [censored] off. I'd go as far to say that they're cheating.

[censored] excuse We've got Burgess remember

Ha ha this is like our best side! Same [censored]. Running under the ball. Missed short handballs poor turnovers lazy mids no system 4 around the ball Crap umpiring Pack your bags Goodwin [censored] hopeless

What's the bet our useless coach doesn't even review this tripe Great goal Oscar

Witches hats Well done coach

Umpiring is worse than last week Honestly should be an investigation

I thought it was motor-boating....

The probably just cut and paste the Demonland threads on Watts

I think if we are ahead at the final siren we should win Unless Gray kicks a goal after the siren again.....

I agree it is..... But..... they have agreed to go into the Hub and abide by the rules. If they didn't want to hey could have stayed at home.

I reckon he has only had one really good game. The first 4 or 5 he was doing his dinky chips only putting teammates into trouble.. No penetration and his aggression and endeavour was missing

I woudn't rule out Jetta being slightly concussed given his earlier knee to the head..he looks pretty slow and dazed most of the night.. Nonetheless its very rough blaming Jetta who was going directly for the ball. If it was Selwood they would all be lauding his bravery. (cue spew)

Yes but the umpires communicate with each other as to whether it was a skill error or deliberate. This was clearly skill error

Needs to stop leading into the pockets Should be put in his contract: "lead into the pockets and you don't get paid"

100% that Nev was trying to kick the ball sideways to Langdon. There is no other possible explanation. The maggots cost us a goal.

And serial offender Burgoyne gets off after sling tackling Rowbotham form the Swans One rule for them..

Our players have a low footy IQ. In all kinds of situations If you are getting tackled without the ball then don't take possession. So many times a player would take possession when the smart thing to do is not take possession but, say, tap the ball to the ground. Our players never learn. The number of times we didn't go back from the mark and either: a) allow the nball to be touched/spoiled; or b) have to kick an up and under because they were too close with plain infuriating. And whats worse is we do it every week. Petracca is the worst offender, Max is second. Wet weather football our players are dumb. They don'tget their body behind the ball and it rund past them. We don't keep a player gaolside at stoppages in the def 50. Basic stuff we do wrong time and time again. I could go on..

Our pressure was elite in the last qtr I saw, that's when we play our best. Not sure what happened in the 2nd qtr....

He did but you woudn't think that his fitness was affected much given he could and did run. It might be why they're not playing him in the middle. If its an elbow ligament they can take ages to repair. The strength takes a long time to get back to normal. Maybe he doesn't have the strength for the heat of the centre square bounces.

we were smashed in groundball gets in the first 3 quarters

Oscar. Oh dear....

How many times will we kick into the main the mark Basic stuff

That white goalpost looks racist to me
