The Good

Watts

Dunn, apart from his goalkicking

Seeing a bit of biff

Another game into them (you know I'm struggling when)

Joel Macdonald (Someone explain why he isn't an immediate starting 22 player?)

Getting #35 on my Melbourne jumper

The Bad

The goalkicking

The second quarter

The watching of the Geelong-GC margin in the second quarter and hoping it wouldn't be that bad

Green

Davey

Bate

The Ugly

Strauss

Tapscott

Injuries, injuries everywhere by all accounts

The Carlton midfield walking all over us

Mitch Robinson

The 5-year-old Carlton supporters swearing their heads off at me on the way to Richmond station

    How Clint Bartram does not make The Ugly list is beyond me.

    Watts' goal of the year contender in the 1st quarter and his whole effort for the day.

    Dunn's efforts across the ground and his 57m goal in the last.

    Seeing a bit of biff from Jones despite his poor decision making

    Joel Macdonald (Someone explain why he isn't an immediate starting 22 player?)

    Big Maxy Gawn working hard all day.

    The Bad

    The goalkicking

    The second quarter

    Jones' decision making

    Green

    Bate

    Rivers

    The Ugly

    Stefan Martin's stupid spoil in the last quarter to knock out Tappy.

    Injuries....

    No leadership from anybody on the field wearing the Red and Blue.

    Mitch Robinson

    Couldn't make it today due to work.

    If you're wondering why Melbourne supporters didn't show up today, you have rocks inside the rocks in your head.

    You say this to my grill and you will be wishing you had kept your trap shut. When you use the word "Melbourne Supporters" you are referring to all of the die hards that bleed for the club. Keep your negativity towards die hards off these forums.

    Stefan Martin's stupid spoil in the last quarter to knock out Tappy.

    Can't let this one go. It was 100% Tappy's fault. And he did it twice. He was caught behind and gave his man a huge shove in the back. Right there he's done the wrong thing. Unfortunately he timed it perfectly so Stef's leap, rather than carrying him into the side of Murphy's head, carried him directly into that of Tappy. If he'd just kept contesting properly then the third man in (Martin) would have crunched Murphy and taken the ball away too.

    Thanks for this post. I now have a reason to officially block all posts from you after reading your dribble for weeks.

    Well done.

    It was pitiful ... probably in the worst week in many years we are under attack and Melbourne supporters want their team to show passion ... yet the cant do the same. Total crowd was 42,450 ish I honestly reckon it was 32K - 10K.

    You just cant blame the players any more ... look last week at Geelong ... I did not have any expectations.

    But today in the week we have had ... I thought surly the penny would drop ... but no it has not.

    I understand why the truth hurts. Watching our kids get slaughtered week in week out with so few Melbourne supporters in the stands to help them. You want them to show passion ... go awy I'm glad your blocking me ... why dont you stick your head in the sand.

    PS ... just for your info I'm going again next week ... read all one way crap around here if you want.

    Good:

    Watts.

    First Quarter effort.

    Die hard supporters who turn up regardless*

    Bad:

    Bad delviery by hand and foot

    Inability to stop Carlton delivering at will by hand and foot

    Clearances

    Inside 50 scrapping

    Kicking at goal

    Not having my Redlegs seat or the Hassett Bar (I hate away games!)

    Being second to the ball far too often.

    Ugly:

    Scoreboard

    Strauss' leg

    Decision making

    * Was commenting that I used to watch losses like this 30 odd years ago!

    • GAMEDAY: St. Kilda

      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?

    • 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.
