Wow the Dees should take note how the Dogs played tonight against the Saints.

They were hard at the contest, TACKLED, skills were good and they never gave in.

They played for each other as a team and seem to play for the coach too

Melbourne should watch this game.

They were everything Melbourne is not at the moment.

Dogs supporters should be proud.

We will not beat them in our current form.

    I wonder if Brendan Goddard will cry for "his" Saints.

    He is a big reason they are not competitive anymore.

    I think he had enough of the saints wyl and never got over the GF losses.

    Me thinks he needed a change.

    I think he has faith in his players and their ability something I think Neeld doesn't have which has been part of the problem from the beginning.

    Even worse than Bailey, that's saying something.

    Gee, but I thought their list was total rubbish and they had no future?

    Did themselves proud tonight. Good on them.

    Gotta love there young midfield. Gonna be absolute guns. Stevens, Hrovat Stringer Smith Mcrea Libba Wallis johanessen plus Griffen and boyed to lead the way. They went after young recruits like Koby Stevens ( who i badly wanted last year) and tom young and both been solid contributers will be part of a bright future for them. We went after money ball bull crap stuff and it sets us back another 5 years. Bye bye neeld.

    We were just as hard last week as they were this one. They were close to as sh1te last week against the Suns as we were. You should watch some of their other performances and also consider their opposition.

    Stevens was great today but has not broken 20 touches prior to this game. I note how you wet yourself at their one paced mids but don't mention a single defender or forward. Any reason for that? I would take our list over theirs any day of the week.

    Although i was happy for the Dog Supporters i do think the game worth watching was the Swans and Magpies game

    That is the what it takes to be considered the toughest team to play against

    If Neeld doesn't back his players to play with dash and flair, how come we play on more after marks than any other than in the AFL?

    Logically either Neeld backs them but the players aren't executing well enough or Neeld doesn't back them but the players aren't listening and are playing their own way!

    If we play slow people blame Neeld, if we play too quick people blame Neeld. I'm not convinced Neeld is the right coach nor that he is any good but the arguments being used to demonstrate how bad he is are so stupid that it is just pathetic Neeld bashing for the sake of it.

    Give it a rest mate.

    We know you don't like Neeld.

    There are countless relevant threads you can put your non-constructive, 'insightful' hyperboles in.

    Lol there midfield will be far more superio then ours. We are just as SLOW so cut the crap. I would take stevens over bail, magner, rodan, mckenzie. Mcrea will be a star, jury still out on toumpas.. Hrovat will be a beauty too. They will build a good midfield around Griffen Libba and Wallis. Roughead will be a great defender for them for many years. They have young Tahlia being groomed aswell and played a couple of games in his debut year last year and was impressive. Chip frawley will leave at either this year or next. Hates the being at the club, uncle spud reckons he is wasting his career with us and he is encouraging him to leave. That will leave a massive hole on oue list. Yes there forward line are there weekness but ours isnt exactly setting the world on fire. Clark is injury prone and could hardly get on the park. Dawes still catching up in match fitness. Good leader and sets a good example but please the bloke cant take a mark out in front to save himself. Hogan will be good but dont expect him to set the world on fire knowing the way we cant develop our kids. I do reckon he will be a gun though.

    You have completely missed my point. They have some good looking young mids but all are inside except for McRae. They have nothing at either end of the ground. Easier for us to build a midfield than for them to find a defence and attack. You state McRae will be a star but the jury is out on Toumpas. Roughead will be a great defender. I stopped reading at this point.

    I think we need to cut him some slack BRFE, have a look at his assessment on this thread compared to his assessment re Hogan vs Danniher, both assessments appear to be polar opposites to me.

    • CASEY: Sydney

      The Casey Demons were always expected to emerge victorious in their matchup against the lowly-ranked Sydney Swans at picturesque Tramway Oval, situated in the shadows of the SCG in Moore Park. They dominated the proceedings in the opening two and a half quarters of the game but had little to show for it. This was primarily due to their own sloppy errors in a low-standard game that produced a number of crowded mauls reminiscent of the rugby game popular in old Sydney Town. However, when the Swans tired, as teams often do when they turn games into ugly defensive contests, Casey lifted the standard of its own play and … it was off to the races. Not to nearby Randwick but to a different race with an objective of piling on goal after goal on the way to a mammoth victory. At the 25-minute mark of the third quarter, the Demons held a slender 14-point lead over the Swans, who are ahead on the ladder of only the previous week's opposition, the ailing Bullants. Forty minutes later, they had more than fully compensated for the sloppiness of their earlier play with a decisive 94-point victory, that culminated in a rousing finish which yielded thirteen unanswered goals. Kicks hit their targets, the ball found itself going through the middle and every player made a contribution.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      Hands up if you thought, like me, at half-time in yesterday’s game at TIO Traeger Park, Alice Springs that Melbourne’s disposal around the ground and, in particular, its kicking inaccuracy in front of the goals couldn’t get any worse. Well, it did. And what’s even more damning for the Melbourne Football Club is that the game against St Kilda and its resurgence from the bottomless pit of its miserable start to the season wasn’t just lost through poor conversion for goal but rather in the 15 minutes when the entire team went into a slumber and was mugged by the out-of-form Saints. Their six goals two behinds (one goal less than the Demons managed for the whole game) weaved a path of destruction from which they were unable to recover. Ross Lyon’s astute use of pressure to contain the situation once they had asserted their grip on the game, and Melbourne’s self-destructive wastefulness, assured that outcome. The old adage about the insanity of repeatedly doing something and expecting a different result, was out there. Two years ago, the score line in Melbourne’s loss to the Giants at this same ground was 5 goals 15 behinds - a ratio of one goal per four scoring shots - was perfectly replicated with yesterday’s 7 goals 21 behinds. 
      This has been going on for a while and opens up a number of questions. I’ll put forward a few that come to mind from this performance. The obvious first question is whether the club can find a suitable coach to instruct players on proper kicking techniques or is this a skill that can no longer be developed at this stage of the development of our playing group? Another concern is the team's ability to counter an opponent's dominance during a run on as exemplified by the Saints in the first quarter. Did the Demons underestimate their opponents, considering St Kilda's goals during this period were scored by relatively unknown forwards? Furthermore, given the modest attendance of 6,721 at TIO Traeger Park and the team's poor past performances at this venue, is it prudent to prioritize financial gain over potentially sacrificing valuable premiership points by relinquishing home ground advantage, notwithstanding the cultural significance of the team's connection to the Red Centre?

      After kicking the first goal of the match the Demons were always playing catch up against the Saints in Alice Spring and could never make the most of their inside 50 entries to wrestle back the lead.
