You know that it is two sides near the bottom of the ladder when they are ringing up Ben Holland for an interview as part of the prematch build up. Melbourne look to end 2,864 day Etihad Stadium dro

Had a cheeky hundred on Hogan to kick the first at $10.

Heading over next month for the game v. Bris. My shout with the winnings, we're we getting on it?!

On a side note, again the turnovers are killing us. We are better than the Saints.

Yeah im a big critic of Watts, but his first quarter showed how much more footy I.Q. he has than the bulk of his team mates. Kept us in it i thought. What a great kick he is. Toumpas can also be an excellent kick.... he should be instructed NEVER to handball simply because he cant.

No air in those handball - and often handballs players into trouble.. - J.Toumpas.

I hate it as well but to be fair Viney also does this and has had a few more games. Not many highlight Viney as often but he can also be handball happy and can not only hand out hospitals but also occasionaly gives or hands it straight to the opponent.

We have alot of areas that need fixing in general play though.

Great example is just using their brain eg, Dont go 2nd 3rd up in a marking contest if u see a solid tall in good position to mark. We do this far too often allowing opponents to gather the spilled ball and run off or kick a goal round the corner etc

Some terrible disposal coming out of our backline too. Kick to advantage, OUR advantage FFS

strangely not a hard concept for us spectating. Must be hard to grasp down there.

Toumpas has no idea

Is it not possible for people to look at the entirety of a player's game, and not just the fault/errors?

7 possessions, 2 tackles and a mark. There are a LOT of Melbourne players nowhere near that at quarter time.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak

    POSTGAME: Rd 09 vs Carlton

    The Demons were blown out of the water in the first quarter and clawed their way back into the contest but it was a case of too little too late as they lost another close one to Carlton losing by 1 point at the MCG.

    MELBOURNE BUSINESS by The Oracle

    In days of old, this week’s Thursday night AFL match up between the Demons and the Blues would be framed on the basis of the need to redress the fact that Carlton “stole” last year’s semi final away from Melbourne and with it, their hopes for the premiership.  A hot gospelling coach might point out to his charges that they were the better team on the night in all facets and that poor kicking for goal and a couple of lapses at the death cost them what was rightfully theirs. Moreover, now was
