Hardest team to play against?

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

    • 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.
