    Our best player was a VFLer who has been overlooked for a number of years. Says it all.

    Some where seriously underestimate the value of some efforts and stamp the title 'awful' on a game far too easily. I was at the game, and actually enjoyed the first half when we had targets up forward, it killed me we couldn't take marks, but still, I could see what Neeld was doing. Clark was a good target, but like a couple have said, was often outnumbered, especially later in the game when Howe seemed to dissapear a bit more. Martin made a good target on the wing and took a couple of decent contested marks too. I think later in the game as the forward half became barer, as numbers went up to stop the leakage, the rot multiplied and our midfielders just didn't have it in them to get it past 3 defenders to often, a lone Clark in the 50.

    point being, Don't beat on Clark, he didn't have delivery or support.

    No position for Green anymore, Davey only showed flashes of something, Watts needs to relearn how to tackle, put Blease forward and tell him to lock the footy in there, and could someone please win a clearance?

    Amassed quite a few hit-outs and took a few contested marks.

    Not a lot, but enough to be respected by some.

    did one hitout goto a teammate's advantage?

    dropping the ball at your feet is ineffective and predictable

    very average performance

    No truer statement has been made in the last 24 hours

    Only an idiot would accuse Clark of having a bad game. I challenge anyone to try and do well when the ball is being bombed into the forward line in hope, like it was today. Delivery was shocking all day.

    It's one thing to have a gameplan that is as predictable as it is boring, it's another thing to be woeful in clearances, the main element that the game plan relies on.

    Couldn't agree more. Buddy would've struggled with the disgusting delivery coming in, not to mention the crowded forward 50 how the hell was he ment to get a good run and jump at it?

    Not a good game, but overpaid and underperformed? Awful?

    Agreed.

    But I don't think he was in our worst 16.

    no maybe not worst 16 but a disappointing show nevertheless

    I'd be happy if Watts became a gun anything. Anything.

    Our midfield is so mediocre that you'd take 5 of Collingwood's midfielders before a single 1 of ours. 5!

    Swan

    Pendlebury

    Thomas

    Ball

    Beams

    I don't know why this surprises you...

    I would have said the same thing last week.

    The best teams would have the same number of mids ahead of ours.

    • 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.
