GAME DAY, ROUND 3, 2015

H really had no choice as he couldn't handball and his back was to the boundary. The third quarter will show how much we have learnt. Need to get Vanders and Tyson back into the contest and improve our ball movement between the arcs.

He could have not picked the thing up.

Umpires should wear noise cancelling earphones or simply don an Adelaide jumper, it's so blatantly bad.

You don't get cheered paying Melbourne frees.

FFS get off bagging players .....save it till when the game finishes......they've had as many dropped marks, kicks out of bounds etc. They're having a red hot crack & I can see they are a vastly improved team....Second half may disappoint but they are becoming a better more competitive team who I like to watch !!

Cross is still getting isolated by opposition sides when they come out of defence. He needs the support of players to do the "quick switch" when to make sure we have someone else to run with his opponent.

Wrote about this pre-season.

Will be something PR is still teaching,were simply not good enough on the switch{but improved}

watts for henderson or yarran?

I would have taken Robinson just to crack skulls and the effort dee.

Not the smartest tool in the shed or the most skillfull footballer i've seen. But his scrapping/pressure/tackles and general take no prisoners approach can do amazing things to team mates playing around you. Some grow an extra leg with a few tough nutz around like that. Could have shared the duties on Danger a little today as well.

Cross Jones and Robinson would have be a real hard pack for anyone to deal with rotating through the middle.

Its the "old" heads that continue to balls up our play today, I'm talking about Watts, Garland, Howe, even TMac is starting to revisit Clangersville and Jones hasn't set the ground alight either.

The exception is Jamar who is battling well in the ruck but offering nada round the ground

For all his stuff up Watts still manages the only goal assist of the quarter. How the Fluck do you turn this guy around?

Agree. BTW he was still protecting himself not going for the ball in the contest, when it came to him and he gave it off.

I love Jack, but he is the softest player in the AFL and yet one of the most skilful.

Overall it's been a fantastic effort to date, haven't been able to put the score on the board when given the chance though. We really need to learn to do that to apply scoreboard pressure as well as physical pressure.

Let's see how they go second half.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 17 vs West Coast

    It’s game day and the Demons return to Melbourne to play the Eagles at the MCG for the first time in over a decade. A win keeps the Dees finals hopes alive whereas a loss will almost certainly slam the finals window shut.

    CROSSROADS by The Oracle

    Melbourne stands at the crossroads.  Sunday’s game against the West Coast Eagles who have not met the Demons at the MCG in more than ten years, is a make or break for the club’s finals aspirations.  That proposition is self-evident since every other team the club will be opposed to over the next eight weeks of footy is a prospective 2024 finalist. To add to this perspective is the fact that while the Demons are now in twelfth position on the AFL table, they are only a game and a half b

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well
