We ate not out of this, but we need to change the way we are trying to play.

    Maybe that was our bad quarter....here's hoping.

    Hope so. We our 60 mins away from discovering if this team is the real deal.

    Did the players do it again and talk themselves that they had already won this game

    Also, Bugg, you can stand up now and be a total dick again. It worked wonders last week.

    Nobody's started a scrap yet and St Kilda tend to fall apart under serious grunt; get the hell into their players and make it dirty! We have nothing to lose.

    This has probably been mentioned, but Petracca needs to take the first option. You're not a superstar yet, son. Don't over complicate it.

    Hard to see us winning this. All our vulnerabilities are exposed in one fell swoop.

    Gawn, Viney, McDonald, Watts, Garlett, Kent et al are all well down. Saints want it more.

    Lol's at those sticking it to the first-gamer.

    I just think we're flat. They have all the run.

    Worst possible time to play the Saints at Etihad for a home game, with 5.5 days rest.

    You could tell from half-way through the first they were tired.

    Riewoldt has just worked out that we're playing zone defence, so he just puts himself in the "zone" of Jetta, Salem or Jones.

    Or Wagner, Salem and Hunt.

    Inexperience.

    Wouldn't mind betting on Garland back in next week.

    Playing that bad and still only 2 goals down, previous years we would have been cooked.

    Who's sticking it to a first gamer? People are giving their opinion on a player most people have probably never seen live before. It's only natural.

    We are complacent on and off the field this week. 

    So risky playing Wagner Hunt and Harmes down back. No experience and running out of legs. I mean I know everyone on here hates them and they're unfashionable, but we have two seasoned defenders in the VFL in Garland and Grimes. At least they'll give a defensive contest and won't run out of steam at half time. 

    Add to this Petracca who isn't even ready and was pushed ahead of guys like ANB who has been smashing the door down at Casey. 

    I thought we were done with this [censored] development mode and that we are now trying to win games. I hope like hell that we start winning the clearances or we are truly [censored].

    feel sorry for hogan, jones and bernie

    cant believe technically we are still in it

    We're not really. They dominated that quarter. Shouald be 5-6 goals down.

  • Quote

    Ignore the scoreline, we're cooked. We have no energy and it won't magically appear after halftime.

    We needed more changes than just Brayshaw with so many in-form players in the twos knocking on the door. Adding a 0 gamer to an already green team was comfortably risky and borderline stupid after a 5.5 day break.

    I actually believe the Petracca selection was more about trying to get a bigger crowd than smashing the door down at Casey...

    I stated previously that I believe he should've been held back until our MCG home game against the Bullfrogs

    True. Just think we're flat and they play the ground too well.

    We were only on top because we won every clearance. The likelihood of that happening for the next half is low.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
