    its good... but we shouldnt have to come from behind.....

    Hughes handed one here...

    Gaddy Lyon makes another gem of a point here. Matty Bate is back on the ground and has a hand in both goals we just kicked.

    The Bate nay-sayers starting to look stupid.

    I can't make head or tails of this game.

    The two sides seem to go in 5-10 minute bursts where they actually make an effort, tackle, and deliver, while the other side just switches off.

    Couldn't pick this one. If our defence plays more good footy than our forwards play bad, we'll get up.

    Davey got a tough knock. And Kennedy got a big knock on the cods. Not Sylvia was it? :D

    Green super tackle in front of goal!

    scores tied..

    Watts 2 contested marks a noticable highlight, as none of our players are really skilled in this area.

    sounds like watts is doing ok

    Just.

    He'e getting to the ball and doing just enough.... but our forward line is screaming for someone who can lead correctly. Not saying it's his fault, but we are lacking up that end of the ground.

    Half time

    Scores level - 5.5.35

    Better that qtr.

    Need to improve next half as we have in most of our 2nd halves this season. backline has settled and J-mac, as a captain has realised what needed to be done and just did it.

    Jamar really got on top that qtr.. along with him, bruce, molly, mckensie, grimes and the backline (aided by some shite wce shots at goal) provided us the spark to get back, scoreboard-wise, into the game.

    On form this season, theres no reason why we cant really go hard, every contest- and run over the top of the wce..

    As long as we come to play this half..

  • Quote

    Everything starts and ends in the middle. Jamar is playing well but our mids are struggling to get clean use of the ball so they bomb it in long to nobody.

    Good to see Wattsy take two strong marks and his roving effort in the first was beautiful.

    I'm sure the commentators are only talking about the pineapple though. Did they all die after he took that screamer?

  • Quote

    Like what I've seen from Watts so far. He was always going to be nervous and he's had some nice touches.

    I'm expecting us to continue to get on top of them and win by about 4 goals

  • Quote

    I may have been wrong with davey..

    still off the ground and looking uncomfortable

    EDIT: Bate too? Cheers DJL

    looking like the 1st qtr again..

    c'mon dees..

    Seriously, F**K these umpires hey..

    and were playing shite on top of it..

    ffs.. turnover, wce goal..

    wtf.

    EDIT: missing daveys skill, movement and poise across half-back..

    Can you tell Watts' starting position? Half forward?

    I think Melb has come back down to earth..

    Even if we kick five in the last quarter and get up, this is a loss for us.

    WC have no right to even be close to us. They're not good at all, we are a lot better, and most of all we're at the G!

    Shocking. Timely reminder for us that we're not going to be playing finals this year.

    • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.

    • WHAT’S NEXT? by The Oracle

      What’s next for a beleagured Melbourne Football Club down in form and confidence, facing  intense criticism and disapproval over some underwhelming recent performances and in the midst of a four game losing streak? Why, it’s Adelaide which boasts the best percentage in the AFL and has won six of its last seven games. The Crows are hot and not only that, the game is at the Adelaide Oval; yet another away fixture and the third in a row at a venue outside of Victoria. One of the problems the Demons have these days is that they rarely have the luxury of true home ground advantage, something they have enjoyed just once since mid April.
