DUMB & DUMBER - OUR MATCH DAY COACHING

Didn't Roos take a little time to win a flag at Sydney even though he had the might of the AFL behind him? That said may be we just don't match up well on some teams and we're expecting too much from the group.This kid who coaches Carlton did his homework, which bled a bit but got the assignment done. We don't handle the rain that well in my opinion either. I would like to see how the last Roos game pans out to be honest.

    Bolton clearly went in with a plan but our coaches did absolutely nothing to stop it. I think that's the frustrating part.

    I am staggered that Gibbs, basically one of only two midfielders in that team who aren't complete rubbish, accumulated 26 disposals before half time. That is beyond an indictment.

    It always is, dazzle.  There is always someone who thinks their views are worth starting a new thread over.

    I do like how he claims not to want to criticise Paul Roos, yet the heading is 'dumb and dumber', which implies that he is doing this on a consistent basis.  

    How quick we forget the wins when things don't go our way.

    Spot on! Yep the coaching told players to miss targets, miss goals, be second to the ball!

    The team certainly carried out those instructions well!!!

    • 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.
