Tappy is having a blinder of a game

One of the best I've seen Jones play for a while as well... if the rest could follow the lead of Jones, Viney, Tappy and Garland, we would be much better placed.
 

Jones starting to handle a tag quite well
 

we work hard for 6 minutes for a behind and carlton get an inside fifty and for the 8th time today they have someone running out the back of the pack. am i the only one seeing this or???


Carlton are getting away with murder with their tackling... but hey...they are laying them and worrying later...we spend far too much time watching

Carlton kicking to advantage ( player ) we just kick it in hope..

 

Haven't seen much of Kent so far.

all that work and they just get one easy.

All that work and on one inside our 50 to kick to


Since when is 10 meters 15? Didn't deserve a goal

Tapscott..I applaud your efforts today.

Boys having a good dip, but geez we make the easy look so hard and just can't rack up cheap kicks like other teams can.


10 scoring shots to 12 and we are 4 goals down. wasting it today boys. showing fight but we want more than that. should be right in this game.

Well... We're still in it ... But I want to rip my TV of the wall and stomp on it until it bleeds LCD.

Not sure whether I should go outside.

Half time uncontested possessions:


CFC 109 MFC 67

The effort is good, but there's still no spread, idea how to run the zone, or marking targets inside 50

Some poor shots at goal - we should be closer. I think we held our own in that quarter. Howe needs to get more involved.


This was a respectable quarter. Tappy is really winning me over and Nathan Jones should be given the Bluey now, he is seriously a gun.

If we could kick straight and weren't so god awful on the counter attack, we'd be in this. Sadly, knowing us, I'm scared the second half will be a whitewash.

All that work and on one inside our 50 to kick to

we play a game of footy whereby we dont beleive in ourselves too much..If we did we'd make position, wed run off and go forward in the belief the ball was coming..

we effectively just play a defeateist negative game....save for 4 or 5 players who are actually trying to create something

Genuinely enjoyed that second quarter. Forgotten what that feels like. Great endeavour.

Jones is heroic. There's no other word.

 

We WON the qtr!!!

10 scoring shots to 12 and we are 4 goals down. wasting it today boys. showing fight but we want more than that. should be right in this game.

We have no one inside 50 so all our shots are snaps or kicks out of packs, very few set shots or open inside 50s like Carlton have had.

  • 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.
