Did I just hear Basil "the beak" Zemplis say Suns are "well organised under Rocket Eade." 

The standard of commentary across most games is terrible.

    Hey if Nth lose it will be good to watch the game just to see Brad Scotts face. I hope the suns do win. Andrew Swallow in the crowd. Still cant believe he was dropped.

    Agree about Swallow. He might not be in career best form but he has been far from their worst, and not the one to blame for many of their losses. Chris Scott has a terrible record when it comes to managing his older players and leaders.

    Great night of sport, the Reds v Tahs blockbuster along with the West Tigers v Sharks and A League SF is on...

    Fox must be licking their lips with all these idiotic scheduling decisions made by the brains trust at Seven; consistently choosing dud games as their free-to-air offering.

    Seeing seat advertising at Docklands tonight that I never knew existed because there is usually a few people sitting on them.

    Very bad game except for Ablett's dominance.

    Time for some book reading methinks

    It's worth watching just for the Ablett dominance.  Don't have any particular love for the bloke but I do love the way he has shoved it right up the anus of the footy media who had decided he should retire.

    Think 7 picked well at this point. The Darby is terrible.

    Dockers playing like a rabble, Eagles are skiing here again. Doesn't matter though, local bragging rights aside this match means nothing, the Power are going to bend the Eagles over next week.

    How come Freo struggle for goals all season yet kicked them with ridiculous ease against us on our home ground?

    Problem 101

    our defense is still a major concern....

    Rubbish.

    Excuses, even plausible ones like injuries are an avoidance of owning and talking responsibility for doing what's required to win. 

    Losing is the result of one team succumbing to discouragement and turning their focus from those opportunities to win, to justifying why it's ok to lose... aka excuses. 

    We didn't learn how to win after the Cats ran over us when Maxy went down, and as a result when it happened again two weeks later, the same result ensured. Instead of languishing the the comfort of a plausible excuse, "poor us Maxy went down", we should have taken responsibility to be ready should it happen again... 

    I'm not saying things don't go against you or the team, and injuries are one of these, but as soon as you accept these events as plausible excuses that justify losing, you set yourself up for mediocracy, and failure. 

    So, no excuses.

    I would say our midfield and forwards lack of pressure.

    This game (Norf vs Suns) sets the high water mark for how many dubious frees can be paid in a team's forward line.

    If Hogan ever gets as much help from umpires in a game as Ben Brown, he'll kick 10.

    I don't think our midfield lacks pressure. 

    But to my untrained eye the defence always looks a mess. 

    I can never work out modern day defence strategy though!!!

    I stopped watching the game. But why are opposition supporters suddenly booing Gaz? I dont get it. I know carlton fans did it it the other week but it just doesnt make sense. 

    By the way the crowd ended up being 15,431. I know its a Saturday night and they are playing Gold Coat but seriously thats low.

    Gaz 21 40 possession games...

    Here's a stat for the stat hunters. Who was the last Demon to grab 40 touches? Another one... who will be next? I reckon Clarry does it at some point this year.

    Bernie Vince had 40 touches a couple of seasons ago.

    • 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.
