Pig Dog with the brilliant tackle... and the miss. Sums up our season to this point.

Noticed that Brad Johnson blamed the conditions for Hartlett being pinged than the tackle. Muppet.

 

Tyson snap goal....

However good a defender Tom McDonald may be, surely he costs us more goals than he saves.
 

We've added some pace today in the form of JKH and Sammy Blease.

Will it make a difference?

early it will IMO.

they're gut running will most likely show out. we still have a long way to go in our midfield list. we need more hard runners, absolute pace is the icing.
 

These [censored] stupid HTB decisions are so infuriating.

Big 5 minutes coming up. Port getting a bit of momentum, don't want them to get cheap and easy goals to undo our good start.

We look bamboozled in defence. Heres an idea. Find an opponent and stand next to one. Especially if they are in the goal square. #facepalm

There was nothing wrong with the holding the ball decision. Viney had a free hand and showed no attempt.

The lack of a decent shepherd by Grimes to put him in that situation was ABYSMAL though. He just ran in side by side with the defender straight into Viney. Pathetic football.


Dean Kent is our sub which I think is absolutely stupid. One of our only players who breaks the lines, and scores goals will now most likely spend half the game off the field.

This has actually [censored] me off.

we have to look at our fringe to see what to do in a few short weeks. I had my cake last night.

I'll take Shiel + others, as the main course for 2015, + some here today who may scrape into the list, or rookie? the goal is a couple of years away & I like how they're doing it now. Like it should have been done a few years ago. the old fashioned way.

good kids & make them earn it the hard way.

Anthony Hudson deserves better than Alastair Lynch and Brad Johnson.

How they ping viney for holding the ball but robbie gray has arms free and then drops it an rolls it out n they let it go.. Umpiring is a joke

Rubbish, his hands were completely tied up.

Riley is a tackling machine.

Being outnumbered a bit up forward which hurts as we've worked pretty hard.

Rubbish, his hands were completely tied up.

But he didn't flop about like a fish...

 

Jack Watts could have totally cleaned up Robbie Gray there. Instead he's the one who comes out hurt.

  • PREVIEW: West Coast

    It was bad enough that the Melbourne Football Club created yet another humiliating scenario inside its wretched season at Marvel Stadium last Sunday, but the final insult is that it has been commanded to return to the scene of the crime to inflict further punishment on its fans this week. Incidentally, if this match preview, of a game that promises to be one of the most unattractive fixtures in the history of the game, happens to cut out of your computer screen three quarters of the way through, it’s no coincidence. I’ll be mirroring the Demons’ lacklustre effort against St Kilda from last Sunday when they conceded the largest last quarter turnaround for victory in the history of the game.

  • REPORT: St. Kilda

    When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

  • CASEY: Sandringham

    The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
    Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

    The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.
