Neither hogan tmac or weeds were close to a pack mark. If we keeping bombing it like we are, then whats the point?

We lack footy geniuses. 

We get plenty of ball, but we have to get smart with the way we enter the F50.

Anyone else at game, watch where our players are when they come out of their def 50 and go up the wing. Stuck in the square 20m behind.

 

Been happening all game.

Lazy


Umpires? Seriously, they're the least of our problems.

    Gross half of footy. Feels like we’re wrestling it forward, all compete for the same ball and then it vanishes down the other end for a goal. Errors galore, dreadful umpiring and nobody looking like taking a mark.

    Need to come out a different side if we are to get this back under control. Frustrating.

    Saints have exceeded their average total score in one half.

    [censored] this. If Melbourne don’t ruin the game with their stupidity, the mother [censored] umpires do. 

    Sick of watching games ruined by half cocked fame [censored] ametures. 

    Cant blame umpires we a mentally weak side.  A bottom 4 side absolutely smashing us.

    needs some structural rethinking perhaps ...it's been much the same for three weeks now

    Don’t think I’ve ever seen Hogan take a pack mark.

    Defining game. Lose this and it’s goodbye finals. 

    Petty is not AFL ready. Feel sorry for him. Bad call giving him a game

    How Petty & Joel Smith get a game ahead of Frost is unbelievable. Wake up to yourself Goodwin we are pathetic. 

    Agree both are liabilities at this stage


    They have had so many free kicks plus two dubious 50 metre penalty’s resulting in goals.

    im a fair person but this umpiring is terrible. I feel like going home - they are ruining the game for the spectators.

    Also lol at Trac and Hogan promising a return to form. Touched the ball 13 times between them for zero return.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      Hands up if you thought, like me, at half-time in yesterday’s game at TIO Traeger Park, Alice Springs that Melbourne’s disposal around the ground and, in particular, its kicking inaccuracy in front of the goals couldn’t get any worse. Well, it did. And what’s even more damning for the Melbourne Football Club is that the game against St Kilda and its resurgence from the bottomless pit of its miserable start to the season wasn’t just lost through poor conversion for goal but rather in the 15 minutes when the entire team went into a slumber and was mugged by the out-of-form Saints. Their six goals two behinds (one goal less than the Demons managed for the whole game) weaved a path of destruction from which they were unable to recover. Ross Lyon’s astute use of pressure to contain the situation once they had asserted their grip on the game, and Melbourne’s self-destructive wastefulness, assured that outcome. The old adage about the insanity of repeatedly doing something and expecting a different result, was out there. Two years ago, the score line in Melbourne’s loss to the Giants at this same ground was 5 goals 15 behinds - a ratio of one goal per four scoring shots - was perfectly replicated with yesterday’s 7 goals 21 behinds. 
      This has been going on for a while and opens up a number of questions. I’ll put forward a few that come to mind from this performance. The obvious first question is whether the club can find a suitable coach to instruct players on proper kicking techniques or is this a skill that can no longer be developed at this stage of the development of our playing group? Another concern is the team's ability to counter an opponent's dominance during a run on as exemplified by the Saints in the first quarter. Did the Demons underestimate their opponents, considering St Kilda's goals during this period were scored by relatively unknown forwards? Furthermore, given the modest attendance of 6,721 at TIO Traeger Park and the team's poor past performances at this venue, is it prudent to prioritize financial gain over potentially sacrificing valuable premiership points by relinquishing home ground advantage, notwithstanding the cultural significance of the team's connection to the Red Centre?

      After kicking the first goal of the match the Demons were always playing catch up against the Saints in Alice Spring and could never make the most of their inside 50 entries to wrestle back the lead.

      It's Game Day and the Demons have traveled to Alice Springs to take on the Saints and they have a massive opportunity to build on the momentum of two big wins in a row and keep their finals hopes well and truly alive.
