GAME DAY at Alice Springs - Round 9

[Little Goffy 14,462]

The problem is that Port were playing cautious low confidence footy. We gave them a sniff, and now their confidence is back. We can reset all we like, but it's out of our hands now, a rout is on its way, and in the space of 8 minutes, Port are back in the season.

Is that you, Mark 'Webber' Neeld?

[Demon Disciple 12,068]

A few called it really early with the momentum shift and they were dead on.

Amazing how predictable it is to know we will fall into a heap at the first sign of resistance. All other clubs know this, it only takes a bit of pressure (12 minutes to be exact) and we will fall in a heap.

Leadership nowhere in sight.

[Gorgoroth 12,924]

Matt Jones loves giving away stupid free kicks.

Yeah, it was like the Murphy free last week, the guy is on the ground, it's not hard to tackle them in that situation.

Just dumb.

[Redbeard 497]

Spencer reminds me of the old 80's ruckmen, doesn't look agile, loves to punch the ball, but does his job

[praha 11,236]

When will we turn a corner? Do we just have to expect this every time we win?

We are 0-15, soon to be 0-16 in games after wins since Round 14 of 2011.

What a bunch of losers.

broadbent seems to be now playing a defensive role on vince, who is playing a defensive role on boak. means that we should have a spare somewhere - who is it?

[Straight Sets Simon 23,113]

Exactly.

[Demon Disciple 12,068]

Melbourne resistance is futile

[whatwhat say what 22,700]

we can't the ball forward of centre currently.

[Demon Disciple 12,068]

He would be our spare man in defence.

[Demon Dynasty 17,109]

This next half will be a good indicator of how far we have come - a chance to show some G & D and fight back.

If we didn't have so many spud pea hearts in the team i would be quietly confident we would give it a decent go chook and not let this game slip. But this is the MFC and we always have at least half a dozen or so running around every week. No different this week to the last 8 seasons really. And also one of the worst teams ever playing interstate/away.

[Gorgoroth 12,924]

Ebert is just sitting out the back of packs, need to get some one on him.

[Undeeterred 3,123]

Another selection disaster.

Fitzpatrick with nobody to play on, ends up on Monfries, gets smashed, goes forward, we end up too big and they'll walk it out of the backline all afternoon.

[whatwhat say what 22,700]

fitz has gone forward - that's him, hogan, pedersen and howe all effectively playing as 'tall forwards' with m jones as a defensive forward, and garlett as a small dangerous forward.

way too top heavy.

[Demon Dynasty 17,109]

Boak is killing us in the air

[Gorgoroth 12,924]

Nice handball and then kick bail.

[Seraph 1,824]

FFS BAIL

[Straight Sets Simon 23,113]

Why would Bail handpass to Grimes who is running on his left side?

[Demon Disciple 12,068]

Been a fair break between goals for either team. Watch them get 2 quick one's now. Always happens.

I love how we are all talk during the week............Port area good team we'll need to be at our best to beat them, yet come game time we fall away way too easy. This footy club love to talk, but does not for the life of it know how to walk.

Wow a free. When was the last freee for us i wonder?
