Next two weeks will determine whether we have had an improved year or not, to improve you need to better your position on the ladder, I don't care who you beat to do this, at this stage we are looking at 9th and out by a game.  last year 9th out by percentage.  

Our ability to score has improve, but our ability to defend has gone backwards 

Agreed 100%.

Losing Lever so early was a huge knockout punch. 

But at least we have discovered a role for Frosty

    Not by the margins we have this year, which is why losing to the Saints at home was such a dark day

    I said "better" opponents. This year we've beaten no "better" opponents.

    Adelaide and Nought were “Better” than the MFC last year

    Too many people went into Sunday's game expecting Melbourne would roll Sydney just because.

    Look at the facts.

    Sydney has an organised defence.

    Melbourne struggles against an organised defence.

    Ipso facto, Melbourne would struggle against Sydney.

    Including the media experts.

    And yet they’ll chew you up and spit you out, when things don’t go the way they think they should.

    A lot of you guys are a bit guilty of drinking your own bath water. It would be nice if you could own up to some of these pre game statements as mistakes. Sydney are no pushovers and we waltzed in thinking we would win, but didn’t.

    • 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.
