If only we can kick straight 

Frost in superb touch though 

 

ANB is turning it over at a world record pace.

 

Who is surprised that when we need him most, Gawn is going at 50% fitness, Oliver is nowhere to be seen, likewise Jones, likewise Lewis. TMac can’t buy a goal, and Sydney can’t miss. 

[censored] me why do I do this to myself? Why do I get my hopes up every damn year?

3 goals to half time is dismall. What has happened to Tom's kicking? 

Hey Melbourne we are playing for a top 4 spot today. How much do u want it


Sorry, is it full time or half time?  So many calling this over.  It's 14 points FFS.

Pretty terrible quarter by our standards, but lots of improvement left in us and we have 2 quarters to do it in.  We finish games strongly and I see no reason why we won't do it again.  Obviously, our use forward needs to be cleaned up as it felt like every entry went in Aliir's direction, but outside of that we are still getting plenty of shots on goal and good run going forward.

Why anyone thinks we're out of it is beyond me.

    Just shocking. Goodwin better fired the shitheads up. This is crap. We could have smashed them. We will lose against eagles and gws. Play finals what a frickin joke. 


    Jones just jogged from half forward to half back in no mans land with no opponent as the ball shot passed him time and time again.

    One good thing.  We are close enough if good enough.  Now show us what you are made of Demons!

    Man 3.12, the sky looking dark as anything. This just feels ominous as ever. We don't look up to it. When your two best spearheads miss routine shots it says a lot about the mentality and we aren't there yet.

    Jones needs a rocket. Looks slow and indecisive.

    Same old story. Dominating almost every stat except goal accuracy. It's maddening how soft this team is in front of goal under pressure.

    Need to clean this [censored] up if the team ever wants to taste success at the highest level. Blowing yet another golden opportunity today and it's entirely our fault.

    Get your [censored] together Melbourne.

    I actually thought we had learnt but we continue to kick to a forward line where we are outnumbered. 

    Are we the worst club for set shots or what 3 goals 13 behinds FML.

    This is terrible, stage fright, 6 goals allowed in a row. 

    Goody [censored] do something.

    Wake up Dees or another opportunity is gone. 

    I cant see alot of detail from where I'm sitting.  Did we change up the starting mid field in the 2nd quarter or did the Swans change and/or just started getting more of the ball out of the middle??

    We were much more dominant through there in the 1st

    What the hell has happened to Tom  McDonald? Hasn't kicked a set shot for 2 weeks.

    Honeymoon is over 

    Get him down back where he belongs 

    Pedersend fwd for rest of game


    Sydney showing why they've been up there and thereabouts for a decade or more.

    For us, once again, inexperience, both individually and together.

    I hope goody makes some changes in the second quarter. I'd put pederson forward and Tyson off the wing, Jayden hunt on the wing , avb on the bench

    This is doable.

    When we get our skates on and get the ball out from a contested pack situation, then we have looked a cut above.

    It's when we get set shots in front of goal, we crap our pants.

    If we start converting then this is ours to win.

    Kicking inaccuracy is well & truly going to be an issue for the remainder of this game. 

    & for the usually reliable McDonald... his set shot kicking has dropped off a heap over the past month.

    Need more composure going forward. 

    Lets see if we can make amends in the second half.

    • 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.
