Game Day

Featured Replies

Dunn is looking very very good with his forward pressure

 

Half time

7.5 47 v 5.8 38

Bad news at the other game though - Hird will be nominated for a sainthood soon :-(

 

Watts is playing like its a basket ball game.

Has no desperation and does not like to be physical in the slightest.

So far I am really liking Tapscott, Martin, Trengove and Dunn.. other contributors are Green, Jones, Bennell, Sylvia and Bartram with Davey and Moloney starting to show a bit finally. Maric seems to have gone missing since quarter time.

Last 10 minutes of the quarter Dees well and truly on top. Missed three very gettable shots so in my view should be in front.

Best IMO: Martin, Sylvia, Green and Maric.

Need to tighten up on forward defence. The critics were right on that.

Game underway again - behind to the Swans

7.6 48 v 5.8 38

 

Rivers kicks into man on the mark and kick goes to Bolton who is in the clear - he goals

8.6 53 v 5.8 38

9.8 62 v 5.9 39

Now going through one of those real nothing periods

Grimes REALLY needs to work on his kicking... has made some terrible turnovers... and now the Swans get a shot which fortunately misses

9.9 63 v 6.9 45

Jurrah flies but can't hold the mark

Jurrah scores a behind

9.9 63 v 6.11 47

MacDonald saves what was an almost certain goal and then Haneberry (sp?) misses

9.11 65 v 6.11 47

Edited by hardtack


They will take another set shot now - goal

10.11 71 v 6.11 47

This is getting ugly

Grimes is taking great marks and then doing nothing with the ball.

 

Jones kicks a nice goal!

10.11 71 v 7.11 53

We really need a couple more before the end of the quarter.

  • 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.
