Hardest team to play against?

in Melbourne Demons

Today Carlton had 110 more possessions yet somehow also had 30 more tackles. 30.


Before today we averaged 94 less disposals and 4 less tackles per game.

No question the effort lifted for a little while today, but why is our defence so bad when we've brought in an apparently defensive minded coach?

Never been so frustrated with the club I love. If 186 was the players telling us something, what has this year been so far?

    Stuie, I like your contributions but I reckon this is a [censored] poor argument

    Firsty, Neeld clearly says he wants to coach - at no stage is it give it would happen straight away.

    Second, your personal expectations of the ability of the team are far off

    Thirdly, how can you match possession counts when you dont win the ball and te players continually bomb it?

    Why our team mates dot use open players really worries and annoys me. Not sure if aneeosnis to blame as I don't know the instructions, but back to point it's not Neelds fault

    These threads trying to blindly lay blame [censored] me off... If you couldnt tell haha

    It's not but in an elite sports industry if we don't see results someone's head has to roll and unfortunately it's just about always the head coach.

    I have never seen a team beaten so comprehensively in marking contests - absolutely rubbish

    this is apart from the appalling skills and decision making

    a better team would have beat us by more than 100 points

    i really don't think i can watch this anymore

    We are the hardest to play against.

    Opposition coaches must find it hard to make their players stick to their structures when they are rolling over us with such ease.

    Carlton may not have had Kruezer today but they resemble one at the MCG.

    We really were pitiful against a Club which showed as much intensity as country BBQ jolly match in February.

    Bruise free football is alive and well at MFC.

    We're certainly the hardest team to watch and the hardest team to follow passionately.

    Absolutely

    Listened to some of the game on radio, seems we made a lot of errors by foot, still I look forward to a forward line of clark, Hogan and dawes and a hopefully revamped midfield for 2014

But in a repeat of Round 11, Brisbane proved too strong, too fit, and too relentless.  They brought their kicking boots: 9 goals, 2 points.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Brisbane

      Forget the haunting of Round 11 — we’ve got this. Melbourne returns to its inner-city fortress for its milestone 100th AFLW match, carrying a formidable 10–2 record at IKON Stadium. Brisbane’s record at the venue is more balanced: 4 wins, 4 losses and a draw.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Geelong

      It’s been a season of grit, growth, and glimpses of brilliance—mixed with a few tough interstate lessons. Now, with finals looming, the Dees head to Kardinia Park for one last tune-up before the real stuff begins.

    • DRAFT: The Next Generation

      It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.
