Lucky to be as close as we are. My man Jones keeping us in it. As I thought, we just have no idea how to find a mark inside 50. Tommy Mac should have been dropped last week, and we're paying the penalty for it now. Bate is really becoming an important player for us, IMO. Neeld is getting the best out of him.

 

Scrappy stuff but the effort is there. Three more quarters of that thanks.
 

Jones and Rivers are keeping us in this, while McDonald is keeping them in front.

I can live with this. Morton ok, Watts needs to more. Multiple times we ignore the centering kick to a free man in the corridor. MUST be instructions to help learn the plan. Watts keeps presenting in the corridor, gets ignored and if there's a turnover, his man is free.


Tom McDonald has absolutely no idea. Plays the man way too much because he runs off him and then gets caught out. Not a fan.

how many games has he played?

It seems to me that Jack Watts never runs flat chat, yet the commentators reckon he comes off for a rest looking absolutely spent. Therefore, it's obvious that so many of our problems stem from our pathetic fitness (thanks DB).

how many games has he played?

Not many, but I've played even fewer. If I can see his problems, surely he should be able to see them too.
 

Jones is doing this single handedly!


They are looking good tonight... lots of good pressure in the forward line. And for those who were saying Jones will never be anything more than a C or B grade player, I think his showing in the first four rounds is showing he is very capable of stepping up to be an A grader once the rest of the team catches up with him.

Great goal created by Grimesy. But Nathan Jones is doing things I haven't seen a Melbourne player do in a long time. He's still really young and could still go up another level.

wet weather is hurting us


Dropping simple marks. Giving away silly free kicks. I know it's wet, but this silly little mistakes are stopping us from really getting a run on the aints

Who says Bails is no good? Great stoppage goal.

Even Joel MacDonald is doing good things tonight.

I'm seeing Morton closer to the packs than ever before. He's learning how to play as an outside player but not so outside that he's useless when we don't get the ball. Repaying the faith a little.


Finally we are getting free kicks because we are actually going in first for the ball!!

Davey winding back the clock with a goal from some awesome tackling pressure.

 

Geez we are really having a dip 2night....

  • 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.
