Watts was having a decent game up until this last quarter but his efforts or lack thereof have all but cancelled it out.

Three decent enough quarters is an improvement though.

We desperately need some crumbers. I don't understand why we never have anyone loose around the packs.

Fitness is also a big issue I feel. We simply can't run games out. This will improve.

He can still do the positives on a less bulky player -- Cloke will eat him.

But he's not playing on Cloke today is he?

I think Rivers has won that battle so what else do you want?!
 

Wow, you can tell that the people on the gameday thread each week don't go to the footy very much.

Awful thread.

Looking for positives, we did stay in it for three quarters which is two more than our best so far this year.

Lack of fitness has again killed us....hopefully won't next year.


Pathetic finish Melbourne.

You nearly gave me hope, only to throw it back in my face with that last quarter.

Excruciating to watch.

Just not fit enough to run and spread.

Back to Casey for Watts, Sellar, Moloney, Bennell and Jamar
 

Boy I'd like to single out many MFC players right now for being absolutely pathetic today.

I will refrain from it.

I will say tho that Nathan Jones runs his guts out.

Only one goal in the second half was bad. But i give them a chance against the bomber next week.


Pick the teeth outta it how ever ya like, I'll enjoy the reading, we've actually shown a bit today for 3qts, some efforts by a few we're very ordinary as well, a real lack of second effort which gives me the sh……. and it was such a bad last qrt that undid the good work……just another little twist off the bloody knife for our wretched soul's, we are the DEMON's………..FAAAAAAAAAAAAAArk

Back to Casey for ... Sellar ... and Jamar

Well thought-through post ... rucks next week will be Spencer and Fitzpatrick, that'll have them quaking in their boots.

Really disappointing end to the game. We really had a decent crack today. But our pathetic fitness levels and our generally poor skills ate us up late.

We will not be competitive against decent clubs if we can't run out games, and right now, we are hardly running out three quarters, let alone four. It's so disappointing.

Thought Bail responded fantastically, especially early. Clark and Jones again led the way for endeavour. Blease and Nicholson seemed to relish their chances. But there is still a lot of crap (Sellar is the slowest player I have ever seen).


MOLONEY MUST GET BACK TO HIS LOCKER AND CLEAN IT OUT

Failed to get any reward in the 3rd quarter. Not happy losing by 58 point, but it was a much better effort for 3 quarters. Sellar and Moloney were poor today.


Sellar is the slowest player I have ever seen.

Slower than Trengove?

I think it was frustrating right from the start. Carlton are a shadow of the team they were at the start of the year. That blow out was always going to happen. This team has no clue how to win.

Can't say any one player is more deserving to be dropped than anyone else. But Moloney is done. He has lost so much confidence and just...boom. Isn't that why we call him "Beamer".?

We were significantly better. We play a game style that requires a lot of very hard running. Unfortunately we are nowhere near fit enough to play this style ...... yet.

I thought our pressure was good and we stayed with Carlton for 3 quarters despite not winning any clearances and losing the contested possession pretty badly.

  • 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.
