Opps!! sorry, I forgot the golden rule of not being honest and pretending our young players are god, sorry mutes.

1. Great attack on the ball by Watts

2. Garland is a champ

3. McDonald, Terlich, Kent are looking good. Loved Kent's chase

4. The disposal efficiency of Dawes is much better than I remember it being

5. The "experienced players" are just BAD, in particular Pederson. Can we please stop playing them? Neeld is no longer here. No need to save face anymore by playing them. Give the young players a run over these guys so we can at least find out who to keep.

Nice wrap, I'd like to make mention of Terlich as well
 

He shirked when going back with the flight of the ball and didn't go hard at all on Ray at the start of the game.

I would have called that being out of position but maybe I just wanna be optimistic. I just think it's premature to be calling him soft at this moment in time.

Actually it should probably be 11 points the difference if you take away that stupid 50m penalty against Dawes, and the free to Riewoldt 10 metres out!!!

Or of course if our forwards had kicked straight.


A few good signs here. We seem to waver between positive attacking, even spreading footy and [censored] ourselves/spectating. Something to do with confidence and uncertainty

A top Coach is going to rip this list apart.

Half of them don't work. Nothing to do with skill or experience.

Craig has been top dog for ONE WEEK - give him a bit of time

Why is it that every other recruit can put his body on the line from the start but Melbourne players are always so timid?

I'm sick of making excuses.

Clisby, Terlich, Kent, Tom McDonald??????????

I reckon a lot of the rot is gone, but it will now take time to develop the right culture with what is remaining.

i agree, but there is still some,,, but the legacy is still with us atmo...the legacy of the last 10 - 15 years. will take a bit to plough up & reseed.
 

There was no malice, he just has zero awareness.

I'm fed up with your canning of Spencer. He's been killing them at Casey for weeks, he gets a chance to play in the firsts and you don't let up. Give him a go!

Lynden Dunn gee he is a liability he always gives silly free kicks away and has poor disposal and decision making skills move him on at seasons end

Can we trade Watts for a half eaten Mars Bar? Please?


I'd call that a major negative given that a few years ago we had one of the best back lines in the competition.

Dissagree. It's the one aspect that's held together during the perfect storm. Never went away. Just needs a few injections of pace and decent ball use (we already have one in Terlich). Need one more though. Could be Blease for pace but defensively not so good and ball use is pretty ordinary atm.

If Watts was Reiwoldt how many frees would he have

Can we trade Watts for a half eaten Mars Bar? Please?

Watts is having a good game, at least he is presenting, he is our only forward.

Another great post. What a keen footy observer you must be.


Watts dropped a mark he should have taken then a bad effort to get a free.

Needs to make up for them. If he propped he would have copped a free more than likely.

Pretending you mean. He's got something wrong in his head. A tonne of talent and no brains or guts.

All I keep hearing is umpires are killing us and Pedersen is turning it over every single disposal1 WTF!!

    It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?

  • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

    It seems like only yesterday that these two sides faced off against each other in the centre of the continent. It was when Melbourne was experiencing a rare period of success with five wins from its previous six matches including victories over both of last year’s grand finalists.  Well, it wasn’t yesterday but it was early last month and it remains etched clearly in the memory. The Saints were going through a slump and the predicted outcome of their encounter at TIO Traeger Park was a virtual no-brainer. A Melbourne victory and another step closer to a possible rise into finals contention. Something that was unthinkable after opening the season with five straight defeats.

  • 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.
