Nope.

Oh nice!

Just when you think we might be making an effort we go back to good old Melbourne mode.


Nicholson would be a good ammos player... Oh wait...

How many times has Tappy done that!
 

DId it take being the sub to kick Bail into gear? Saved himself from being dropped today IMO.


Is hands in the back only paid in the F50?

My understanding is that it is only paid to other teams.

Didn't even have the ball


We have been very steely in defence for the last 5-10 minutes. I am happy with the way we have run out this game.

Trengove has lifted this quarter

A better effort today but it continues to highlight the number of players on our list who are not AFL standard:

Jordie McKenzie (non standard ability with respect to marking, kicking or thinking quickly plus he is slow - my 6 year old thinks he can handpass)

Daniel Nicholson (non standard everything except fitness)

James Sellar (not sure why he is on our list) and

Rohan Bail (God love and protect him but he does not have enough skills under pressure or even without pressure).

Unfortunately having watched Casey v Box Hill yesterday, the Hawks have at least 18 fellas with AFL standard kicking skills to bring into a strong squad and we have maybe one or two.

Our recruiting has been awful...

Sellar was good today.

  • 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.
