Just when things couldn't get worse for embattled Melbourne, they did Mark Neeld is under a mountain of pressure after his side's 10-goal loss to Gold Coast. That is the only word for it. Because for Melbourne, it went beyond disappointment against Gold Coast at the MCG. The Demons have been there, done that this year. This was something different; something on a level so low you'd never think it possible. Just when you thought it couldn't possibly get any worse for Melbourne, it did. This is a club in complete crisis. First, the bare facts. In front of only 13,304 - the lowest MCG crowd since 2009 - Melbourne lost to the Suns by 60 points. Dawes first game for the Dees one to forget Gold Coast had 12 players aged under 21. Together, they breezed to the first win in Victoria in their club's history. The Suns had 100 more disposals, 14 more inside 50s, 36 more contested possessions and, wait for it, 33 more tackles. The Demons laid only 38 tackles for the match. At halftime 12 players had not laid a single tackle. By full-time seven still hadn't. One of the few displays of Demon aggression was crude - Colin Sylvia set for a holiday for a high hit that ended Jared Brennan's game.

As it was the Demons applied absolutely none and their coach Mark Neeld is under a mountain of it that he probably won't escape. Neeld may be thankful that the most assertive act in red and blue took place before the bounce when interim chief executive Peter Jackson ruled out any axe-swinging.

But after two-hours of the most uncompetitive football we've seen this year you wouldn't blame him if he changed his mind. The way the Suns strolled from defence to attack under zero Melbourne pressure from the first minute had to be seen to be believed. When the returning Campbell Brown drilled a set shot after 15 minutes the Gold Coast were up 21-1.

It was like the closing stages of a blowout, not the opening quarter of a must-win game. Up in the radio booths, Wayne Carey summed up the thoughts of many. How bad are Melbourne? Carey said. Brown goaled again. Then James Strauss ran too far in front of goal and gifted Steven May a dolly to make it 35-2 at quarter-time. In the stands it was like a funeral. Most expressions of anger are now limp. With a crowd that would embarass a country footy club the heckles were clearly audible. Wake up Melbourne! What's your game plan? We are sick of it. At times the seagulls made the most noise. Melbourne did not kick its first goal until six minutes into the second quarter when Chris Dawes' first kick found Max Gawn on the lead inside 50m. But even when the Dees got a brief grip on the game in the middle period of the second term they sprayed four consecutive behinds through Gawn, Jake Spencer, Jeremy Howe and Nathan Jones. Down by six goals at halftime, the MCG was eerily silent. Neeld's message was brief because his side came out for the second half warm-up while the Auskick games were still going. Then Dan Nicholson gave away a free before the start of the third quarter, Brown had his third goal within seven seconds and any positive energy built in the changerooms was dead. At the other end substitute Aaron Davey broke a tackle, ran to 20m out, but under no pressure sprayed his shot. It was that sort of afternoon. It was a five goal-to-one third quarter in favour of the Suns and by half way through it the Demons supporters had already started leaving. Those that stayed will tell them Jack Viney played his best game for the club, Matt Jones kept trying and Gawn again showed something, but that was about it. Fox Footy's Press red for Gazza would have been close to watching the game-proper anyway, with Ablett finishing with 38 disposals.

Jordie McKenzie took over in the second half, but it made little difference. By the final siren a small group of Demons fans with the energy left to voice their displeasure had gathered near the race to show their venom.It was a rare spark in a chorus of groans.
