Lol at that "oy oy oy" chant they do every time someone kicks a goal.

Nice one Byrnesy!

 

Byrnes gets our first.

All goals have still been kicked by Geelong players.

 

Just have to demonstrate greater composure when clearing from our back 50. Other than the errors and Geelong's additional class, we are going alright

Good effort, poor midfield defence though


Desperation is there, hopefully it stays this way for four quarters.

Why would you bother trying to hit a target when you can bomb it long without any thought? Good tactics Neal. Keeping it simple so the players don't have to worry.

I really like Terlich, but he is defensively lacking. Has to first and foremost shut down his opponent.

Very happy with our tackling. And Toumpas is having a good start.

 

winning clearances we just need to keep possession. Geelong set up for us to have the ball and play for a turnover.


Dan Nicholson, why you so error?

We need to work hard an keep the ball. Uncontested possession chains are required and so far non existent.

good tackle by watts. All our forwards will struggle today. It won't all be his fault but with the poor quality of our inside 50's I bet Fitz doesn't get a touch and is subbed for blease.

Lynden Dunn is an absoluter joke

he should have been delisted 4 years ago but here he is, still in our starting 18

Worst player i have ever seen


When are we going get in the front of a contest? If we focus on that for this quarter it will make a huge difference.

Well that's about 20 points better than this time 2 years ago when we were 8 goals down.

I really like Terlich, but he is defensively lacking. Has to first and foremost shut down his opponent.

Very happy with our tackling. And Toumpas is having a good start.

That's what I said in the Terlich thread and got howled down by the clueless.

One on one,he's very poor,looks like Murdoch will kick 4 on him as Brandon Jack did last week.

I like his attitude and hardness at the contest but he must beat his opponent first and foremost.

Oh god..the commentary.

King: "I just love the way Geelong blah blah blah.."

Dwayne: "Premiership defender David King there."

McGuire: "<insert incredibly condescending comment about 'the Melbourne team'>"

Dwayne:"<insert equally condescending and crap joke about how bad Melbourne are>"

Dunstall: "At least they are matching the Cats in inside 50s.."

Dwayne: "Coleman medallist and premiership player Jason Dunstall.."

Make it stop. Please make it stop.

Toump looking good. Bit unlucky bit hopefully they stick it at. Geelong in 2nd gear.

Toss up between Dunn (why punch it back in to the corridor? Not going up for a spoil!) and Kent (how does he get a game???) for the worst players I have ever seen.

Toumpas is playing well. Looks a bit quicker than previous weeks.

Kent is a footballer. Reads it well. Still dont think he our Toumpas should be getting games yet, but thats the situation we are in.

Dunn...... please....

I reckon we're unlucky to be so far down.

I'd agree, 3 of their goals were "lucky bounces", but they have been much better with uncontested disposal and work rate to retain the ball.

 

Umpires are letting it go a bit. They could be calling a lot more frees.

T Mac is playing very loose on Pods.

  • 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.
