What was that? Absolutely inexplicable. Surely they are winning clearances but where is baileys nous to stem the tide, break the zone. Very telling quarter on baileys coaching skills.

    Agree. There's a time for being a good guy and teaching the kiddies, and there's a time to breath fire and give them the bake of their lives. This is the latter. That third quarter was pathetic!

    Apparently Bailey was very "controlled" at 3/4 time... THAT'S disappointing

    12 goal turnaround... I'm thinking Bails contract extension talks might be delayed a bit more this year than last year

    Marric had a ball spoilt from behind when on the lead and he tried to chest mark.

    I really hope that the coaches highlight the fact that if he extends his hands he might eve mark the bloody thing.

    an AFL level footballer should NOT have to be told this.

    3/4 time... If Bails does not deliver the biggest spray of all time then he needs to don the red bib himself and hand Malthouse the green one...

    It's bailey who should be getting the spray! Our game plan is non existent. We have Bo resemblance of an Afl team. We can't do the fundamentals. Worst performance since round 1 2008. Geez we've come a long way haven't we

    How has our backline gone from being one of the best to possibly the worst in one season?! Sounds like a "Royal" screw up...

    Just not keeping our feet in defensive 50. Seem to be throwing the body at spoil at all cost and letting them run on when were on the ground.

    Has Jurrah given us anything at all today? I seem to be hearing a lot of comments that the ball comes in to Jurrah and Hawthorn take it away.

    The ball has hardly been in our 50 since halftime, and when it has it's been dribbled, bounced, or hacked in there... No chance for him

    I'd rather have root canal work without an anesthetic than watch us try and get the ball out of our defensive 50 from kick outs. Just plain embarrassing.

    Seems Essendon's backs have got better, maybe Wellman had a lot to do with it?

    Bloody hell the dees are hard to support sometimes, love em, never give up on em, never wouldn't buy my membership, but this second half is one of the worst performances I've seen! Its hard to come up with a solution to whats gone wrong as everything seems to have gone wrong!!

    Exactly what I was saying, hence my "subtle" dig at our new backline coach who never played in the backline...

    • 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.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
