Add Clisby to the list of players who can't defend.

Mackenzie's speed another thing to add to the list of things that make us a crap team.

why are you watching?

I will never ever support Watts down back. Ever.

You have Davis who is an actual defender, yet you put Watts down back.

Dumb coaching.

 

Thank God

Is it opening up because Jones is off?

We have dropped off substantially around the contested ball and clearances.

I'd like to see us go defensive and hold onto the ball as long as we can, chains of uncontested possessions, to get our composure back.


Say what now?!?

Can't find the article now, but they had all sorts of stats for defenders with reference to the AA team. Dunn has the best % in the league for winning 1-1 contests. At the time of the article he'd had three marks taken on him for the season.

why are you watching?

Because I'm a sucker for pain.

Thank god for Jonesy. What a star.

The entire commentary thus far has been one long suck session over Gold Coast's players.
 

What a boring place to play football - zero atmosphere.


Viney, Kent, Terlich and Clisby are in our top 5 possession getters and probably best players so far.

That is a good sign.

Jordie is the worst footballer I've ever seen play AFL

You mean we're playing football?

haha fair enough


Can't someone teach our players to Shepard!!!

What a terrible game!

comparing our game to the other game on tonight, its like they are 2 different sports

Terlich has been caught a lot tonight.


Whoever is playing on Ablett is doing a good job. Only 8 touches so far.

God we look amateurish at moving the ball. So static.

I'm only able to follow online, but statistically things are average.

Disposals: 163-168

Clearances: 18-15

Inside 50s: 24-17

Contested possessions: 53-55

Tackles 27-19

Competitive in disposals and clearances against the GC midfield, which is a win, but the inside 50 discrepancy is frustrating, as always.

Jordie is playing Ablett better than most players have all year.

Or, do you not even know who he is playing on?

Is it McKenzie?

Also, for help, where is Davis playing? Forward? Does that mean Watts is in defence?

  • GAMEDAY: St. Kilda

    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.
