getting slaughtered in midfield no surprise there. jamar has worked tirelessly but their mids are quicker to the contest, he has been leading well to little reward and scrambling at the bottom of packs too so I think jamar has been ok.

terlich starting to get a few touches, reminds me of whopper Walsh, no frills but works hard.

toumpas struggling, made a couple of basic skill errors that qtr and in one play refused to kick in his when he had pressure on his right side, instead turned full circle and turned it over.

That's what these games are for, so that young players can get a feel for it and learn from their mistakes.

    I haven't seen any "wrist slitters" yet, but have seen a few (like me) who are disappointed in the two key stats as far as MFC goes, tackles and possessions.

    Care much more about those stats than the score today.

    i50s are 38-32 our way which is something to take out of it. Clark and Dawes you'd think (hope) would've made a big difference today.

    It's all from rebounding though isn't it? We're getting smashed in the clearances.

    That's a fairly visceral reaction. I'd advise against watching any political news without a prescription for Odansetron or Metoclopramide.

    again refer to who is missing and comntemplate their addition to the tackling ^_^

    what I will give you though is certain players just dont want to ( or seemingly are unable ) to show this element in their game, especially on an ongoing consistent mind set.

    how is Col going today lol :unsure:

    Getting a little tired of this sort of comment.

    Ok, so we lost every game this year, and some by a handsome margin, but at least the tackle count was level.

    Jesus christ, when will the pain end??

    Perfect practice makes perfect? Cue excuses for Heat/fatigue/games played/players missing/etc etc

    I cared about the score today. Glad I did.

    Same "key tacklers" as last week, but we did ok in the tackles then...

    It's NAB Cup. Doesn't bother me if we win or not, tho wins are nice. Ask last years Grand Finalists about their NAB wins... What I want to see is improvements in our key lacking areas from last year, as that is what will lead us to wins when the real stuff starts.

    • 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.
