Totally agree with this. Jamar has been completely outclassed two weeks in a row - hard to create anything when we never get first use. Our backs are constantly under pressure. It starts with the ruck

Someone mentioned during the course of the game that Jamar reminded him of the bag that the coaches hold for the ruckman to practice sticking his knee into it and tapping down to the runners. Ryder leapt higher palmed well - Jamar didnt even 50/50 a ruck contest. You are gonna get killed everytime if you allow that much first hand so clearly to the ball. It was training drill stuff.

 

Choco Royal, more like a melted After Dinner Mint at best. Time to give him the Scotch Finger.

An observation I had that had me yelling at the TV was that our players were continually on there own in a bit of space forward or back while essendon ran round into the areas between them often in numbers so they could do what they wanted. our blokes were flat footed and static while essendon were mobile. even around a pack our blokes were waiting for the ball to come to them and were flatfooted when it did Essndon were moving around so that wherever it came they were able to benefit.

Probably just selective viewing and memory but it sure was frustrating.

That has been Melbourne for the last 50 years (almost)

Witches hats, for the opposition to run around.

Nothing changes, even at training the practice kicking to stationary targets.

No wonder we are stationary n game day.

  • 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.
