Oh god we are being slaughtered by the umps.

As for the blues forward pressure we create it ourselves.

Agreed. Umps atm bog for Blues.

 

Warnock gives away another goal point

At least he is having a go. That free kick against him in the goal square was bs. Good to see he showed some desperation.

Good to see Jimma on the stage dancing badly, singing terribly, and having a ball!

 

how slow are we......constantly under pressure because of slow foot speed and slow decision making ie, macdonald & warnock......but we r working hard, for us.... for little reward


Did anyone see Yarren (dont know if I spelt that right) and some one else from Carlton (I think Betts) not go hard at the contest like Davey last week? Very soft.

Its like watching the Dees from 2008/09 they just dont look like winning.

My comment wasn't in relation to that incident, otherwise you may have been justified.

I disagree, and so does the scoreboard. For my money low scores generally reflect hard work, and poor skill execution.

Tackle count Carlton 44, MFC 22.

Nine MFC players have not laid a tackle in the first half....Hmmmmm

Moloney only 8 possessions so far....

MFC are trying to lock the game down.

sure did, and [censored] myself laughing, only problem is they are getting a bit of it


green in and under, watts keeps showing a bit although not on anyone, warnock having a shocker, riv is good as is chippa, big stef good around the ground, bate is a tad slow, morton hot and cold, col is trying hard as in Beamer, the rest not much to report on.

I know you didnt mean that incident but I was speaking generally that he is having a go. I think the team is better with him down there as it frees up Chip.

Yes I saw it also can't remember who It was wasn't quite as bad as davey

but similar!

What I did see was McLean coming to the bench and rivers coming on ran straight

to him and said something in his ear with a smile on his face.

Umpires..... I hate 'em. Gone beyond bad. Outright cheats.

Mind you we're not helping ourselves either..

Well I wouldn't have a clue, I won't get a chance to watch tonight.

He said something about us not working hard enough for each other while the ball is locked in Carltons forward 50.


Would love it if the Dees came out after half time and ran over the top of the blues similar to what the hawks did to us. I know I am dreaming but whats life without dreams!

We, the jury, find you guilty as charged.

Peoples thoughts on bests and worsts at present?

Good - Frawley and Rivers have tried hard (Jones too but a lot of clangers).

Bad - our leaders have gone missing again

Wont say much else - Blue are down to two on the bench... you never know.


Just when we thought it wasn't possible, the umpiring just stooped to a new low!!

Apart from Greens horrid fresh airy hes been good, Chip & Riv good, when Riv kicks a goal he must be up and about, nicholson gone at it early. Judd is seriously got to be the afl best at the minute.

Tom Harley has just said on Fox (about our game plan) that the Dees are trying to get the ball back in the defensive half. He also said that NO OTHER TEAM has this type of game plan.

FFS i am sick of the same thing week in week out being said about our team. For the love of god get a new game plan/coach.

It looks like 2008/09 all over again.

Agreed with your stats RR, but I do believe the boys are working very hard. It is lack of skill and a better level of skill from the blues that is getting the better of us, but that is no refletion on effort.

  • REPORT: St. Kilda

    When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

  • CASEY: Sandringham

    The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
    Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

    The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

    It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
