    Has been a big bear of mine but when did they take the chopping the arms rule out of the game?!?! 

    Feel like we need to get a big lead by half time as we’ll fade out.

    ps there are some Dogs players I really enjoy watching play footy. And like to see Schache playing some good footy too.

    14-4 clearances Dogs way. We really took notice of the first time we played them. 

     

    Jones is angering me now. He is the main 'handball to someone under the pump' guy and he turns over by foot. He genuinely is an issue, a Melbourne of old player. His defensive running is outrageously slow too.

    How is that not under pressure?

    Oscar McDonald is playing way too far up the field for a fullback IMO.

     

    Based on the evidence thus far, we will come second today.

    Umpiring gets worse every week if that is possible.

    We are just pumping it into our 50M with zero reward.

    How long can we keep doing this?


    Carbon copy of our game Vs Saints atm. Dogs working harder to win the ball.

    This. 1000 times this. 

    Don't know if it's effort or structure or talent, but they killed us there last time.

    Gonna be an offensive slog today. Just gotta win it, and the best defensive running team across 4 quarters will get the win.

    Glad I pay for WatchAFL and woke up early (UK) to watch a screen showing me how many minutes I'm missing

    If ever that happens, try coming in through Channel (in the middle up the top), rather than Matches.


    More certain than death and taxes is that Melbourne will blast away inside 50 with long kicks not to advantage

    Just figured that one out, thanks! Good to know next time these muppets can't get their website working. Looks like I didn't miss much

    Its rinse and repeat isnt it.

    There is no poise or class. Its spray and pray.

    so much crowding of the wings when we have the ball, who the he'll coaches these Muppets, creating space is a junior footy tactic 

    Garlett, JKH are both cooked. Garlett's lack of forward pressure is infuriating. He's "throw the hands out to show you're making an attempt to tackle" stands out so much.

    throw him in the middle.

     

    doggies just like the saints moving it by hand fast and opening us up in the back half. Already been discussed how sides can do this to us. Saints openly talked about it after the game...SURELY they have something up their sleeve?????

      The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.

      It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?

    • PREVIEW: Geelong

      "It's officially time for some alarm bells. I'm concerned about the lack of impact from their best players." This comment about one of the teams contesting this Friday night’s game came earlier in the week from a so-called expert radio commentator by the name of Kane Cornes. He wasn’t referring to the Melbourne Football Club but rather, this week’s home side, Geelong.The Cats are purring along with 1 win and 2 defeats and a percentage of 126.2 (courtesy of a big win at GMHBA Stadium in Round 1 vs Fremantle) which is one win more than Melbourne and double the percentage so I guess that, in the case of the Demons, its not just alarm bells, but distress signals. But don’t rely on me. Listen to Cornes who said this week about Melbourne:- “They can’t run. If you can’t run at speed and get out of the contest then you’re in trouble.
