There should be a rule against the umpires changing the interpretation of the rules over the course of the season and from week to week.

    We're not this bad. We just don't know how to play AAMI. We are a MCG team and only a MCG team. I think we'll always struggle when we play interstate. It's just the Melbourne way. Had this game been in Melbourne, we'd have won (but we'd only be on 3 wins because the earlier game against Adelaide would have been at AAMI...)

    We just continue to struggle like lost cattle when we play against a zone.

    North and West Coast are two games that come to mind. It's so obvious we struggle immensely against that type of defense. Why not counter it?

    Adelaide are playing that zone, and then their counter attack is KILLING us, straight down, 4-5 uncontested marks, for the goal. The zone KILLS us.

    No , we are this bad.

    Our first half work rate and intensity was disgusting!

    Watching Might ducks on 7two. Should I turn it back?

    Depends whether you like watching spirited, inspiring comebacks.

    If you do, stick to Mighty Ducks, Fox Sports is showing a team show up for 15 minutes of a contest and get flogged by 8 goals.

    Lost the plot now. 15 minutes of good football, then once Adelaide settle, the zone kills us...again.

    Bruce goal! End to end. Coast to coast, if you are a w@nker. Bring out the witches hats.

    Bit of urgency in this quarter. Adelaide have failed to capitalise. We MUST take advantage of that. Should have beaten an inaccurate Magpies. Can beat an inaccurate Adelaide.

    BUT GOD DAMN THOSE SLOW STARTS! MAKES MY BLOOD BOIL!

  • Quote

    I was JUST thinking that. The margin got cut back to 33 earlier. I may not have Foxtel, but I could tell Adelaide were slowing. Three goals from that and it's 15 points, which isn't much of a lead in today's game.

    Now it's 25 points. If the Dees come out and nail the first two, it's gonna get good.

    its embarrassing we get this close

    29 to 14 scoring shots says it all

    will still lose and still a pathetic effort

    bruce, bartram, grimes, scully, trenners have been the best

    Our run of victories in the premiership quarter continues. Shame about the other 3 quarters.

    I wonder what we'd be like if we played 4 good quarters a match. It seems unthinkable.

    they are a man down on the bench, so we will/should over-run them to an extent, wether it is 25 points worth i dunno, but we give sides 5 goals start each week and make it incredibly hard for ourselves

    I predict a draw.

    I predict a 10 point loss

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      It seems like only yesterday that these two sides faced off against each other in the centre of the continent. It was when Melbourne was experiencing a rare period of success with five wins from its previous six matches including victories over both of last year’s grand finalists.  Well, it wasn’t yesterday but it was early last month and it remains etched clearly in the memory. The Saints were going through a slump and the predicted outcome of their encounter at TIO Traeger Park was a virtual no-brainer. A Melbourne victory and another step closer to a possible rise into finals contention. Something that was unthinkable after opening the season with five straight defeats.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.
