I'm not watching or listening, but just looking at the stats:

We're up in the clearances 18-17. However, contested possessions are 66-48 their way. Inside 50s are a terrible 27-18 their way. The worst, though, is that they're winning disposals 184-123 but also winning tackles 29-14.

Improvement in clearances, clearly, but without any improvement anywhere else.

The Suns were 18th for Contested Poss. last year and this year they're 4th and they have a better midfield and they average more tackles than us this year.



It adds up.

I don't know if it's neeld to blame, or not, i just know this forum is more interesting than our games. It feels like we are all prisoners talking through the walls to each other

Maybe we're bit players in Papillon or The Shawshank Redemption.

Pass the spoon, I think I can dig my way outta here. Unfortunately that takes me into the sewer, but that's hardly any worse than where we are now.

Our coach is struggling as much as, if not more than, the players.

If I played in this game and performed like they have up to this point, I would not show my face in public ever again.

I just hope Jackson has the fortitude to sack those continual non performers, as soon as he is able to.

We simply need football people with heart, not under performing wimps.

I did have a glimmer of hope but now I know we are shot as a footy club.

The MFC is in it's last throes. Many of those there today need to be held accountable.

Hang on a minute, they get paid regardless of how they perform. They have one 1/2 of a game to save this club.

Our players are ferocious enough to make a tackle even stick.

Jack viney looks to be getting the ball abit, but otherwise this is a disaster.

you feel for the few boys actually having a crack.

Maxy is probably the only player with some balls at the moment.

EDIT: add Viney and M.Jones

Jack Viney 15 disposals, 5 clearances, 4 tackles

We must get a proper coach and development staff so that this young gun reaches his full superstar potential

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak

    MELBOURNE BUSINESS by The Oracle

    In days of old, this week’s Thursday night AFL match up between the Demons and the Blues would be framed on the basis of the need to redress the fact that Carlton “stole” last year’s semi final away from Melbourne and with it, their hopes for the premiership.  A hot gospelling coach might point out to his charges that they were the better team on the night in all facets and that poor kicking for goal and a couple of lapses at the death cost them what was rightfully theirs. Moreover, now was
