Another [censored] poster!!

 

how many fricken posters is that


how many fricken posters is that

6

7 posters to half time (that might be a record)

Hogan You Star!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :blink::):roos::rolleyes:


Hogan is the truth.

Umpiring aside, this is a really riveting game of footy. Skill a little sub-par, but a great contest to begin Anzac Weekend. Oh how I would love us to win this game.

Got to be a record for a team, what 4 posters to half time? A cm one way and we are 10 goals 1 for Fs sake.

Hogan is incredible

Never been so nervous at half time before, not since our last final probably. Come on boys


Our disposal today is atrocious

But on the plus side Jesse Hogan makes me happy in my pants.

Good game of footy and the boys are looking like they are running well. might just squeak this one.

 

Tommy Mac vs Riewoldt has been interesting so far. Riewoldt knows he can't mark against Macca inside 50 so he's moving up the ground to win his ball. Hogan outmarking Rance in the dying seconds was fantastic to watch. Umpires are trying to keep Richmond in the game. I think they've been gifted 2-3 of their 5 goals.

Rance, is that 0 and 3 contests?

  • REPORT: St. Kilda

    Hands up if you thought, like me, at half-time in yesterday’s game at TIO Traeger Park, Alice Springs that Melbourne’s disposal around the ground and, in particular, its kicking inaccuracy in front of the goals couldn’t get any worse. Well, it did. And what’s even more damning for the Melbourne Football Club is that the game against St Kilda and its resurgence from the bottomless pit of its miserable start to the season wasn’t just lost through poor conversion for goal but rather in the 15 minutes when the entire team went into a slumber and was mugged by the out-of-form Saints. Their six goals two behinds (one goal less than the Demons managed for the whole game) weaved a path of destruction from which they were unable to recover. Ross Lyon’s astute use of pressure to contain the situation once they had asserted their grip on the game, and Melbourne’s self-destructive wastefulness, assured that outcome. The old adage about the insanity of repeatedly doing something and expecting a different result, was out there. Two years ago, the score line in Melbourne’s loss to the Giants at this same ground was 5 goals 15 behinds - a ratio of one goal per four scoring shots - was perfectly replicated with yesterday’s 7 goals 21 behinds. 
    This has been going on for a while and opens up a number of questions. I’ll put forward a few that come to mind from this performance. The obvious first question is whether the club can find a suitable coach to instruct players on proper kicking techniques or is this a skill that can no longer be developed at this stage of the development of our playing group? Another concern is the team's ability to counter an opponent's dominance during a run on as exemplified by the Saints in the first quarter. Did the Demons underestimate their opponents, considering St Kilda's goals during this period were scored by relatively unknown forwards? Furthermore, given the modest attendance of 6,721 at TIO Traeger Park and the team's poor past performances at this venue, is it prudent to prioritize financial gain over potentially sacrificing valuable premiership points by relinquishing home ground advantage, notwithstanding the cultural significance of the team's connection to the Red Centre?

    After a disappointing loss in Alice Springs the Demons return to the MCG to take on the Magpies in the annual King's Birthday Big Freeze for MND game. Who comes in and who goes out?

    After kicking the first goal of the match the Demons were always playing catch up against the Saints in Alice Spring and could never make the most of their inside 50 entries to wrestle back the lead.

    It's Game Day and the Demons have traveled to Alice Springs to take on the Saints and they have a massive opportunity to build on the momentum of two big wins in a row and keep their finals hopes well and truly alive.
