Our decision making and skills are killing us. Midfield getting beaten, but where in front if our midfield lifts in the second half we should win.

    Half time couldn't have come soon enough.

    Time to readjust and realize not everything is one for the highlight reel.

    Our short passes have been criminal.

    If we don't fix it (and improve our inside 50s), we won't be so lucky, because I doubt the Hawks will miss those chances in the 2nd half.

    We've been given a lifeline here. We don't really deserve that lead, but we have to make it count!

    From our defensive 50 that quarter most times we kicked it out back to them. Need to run it out with handball or kick to a one on one, not an outnumber.

    Classic clash of game styles.

    Lot of players need to lift a lot of work to be done yet.

    Forgot Tyson. I think ANB May be on Smith who has SFA

    They’re tagging Gus. 

    We need more from Milkshake and Trac. They’re giving us SFA.

    Oliver did not stage. Commentators are morons.

    It's all over Twitter. Fox footy saying he dived, AFL Nation asking people if he flopped. 

    It’s Whorethorn pressure we have to beat. This is not Home and Away Footy...

    We can get better

    Anyone who thinks that Oliver flopped, I’m very happy for them to stand with legs evenly apart in front of me and I’ll hit them front on.

    Tyson is so bad.. jogging to contests and when in the action, looks slow. Vanders looks stuffed!

    Hard to fathom we are winning. I dont think we have plkayed anywhere near our best. Lets hope we do our 3 quarter blitz and not ay pn their terms.

    Make space. Hit the targets. Don’t kick to the outnumbered player. 

    Do the above and we will win.

    I agree was basically a basketball charging foul situation.  I don't think it should have been a free in AFL football, but it would have been very hard for Oliver to stay upright.

    Would rather be in our position than theirs. Run them into the ground this quarter.


    Anyone wondering if Mitchell will win the Brownlow- I can confirm the umpires notice him.

    Lucky to be in front, need to lift across the board really 

    Yep! We're playing very ordinary footy, and we're winning (thanks to Hawks wasting chances), just imagine if we get our ship together!

    Oh well, we are ahead. Melksham and Hannan need to lift. And Tyson is useless

    the Hawks setup took the running early and they have controlled most of thre play IMO.

     

    I'm glad that Goody hasn't shown his hand YET.  by making panic moves...  I feel like we've started to adjust to the hawks setup and intensity.

     

    I think we can lift from here... but as Lew said, we have to get in harder & lower for the ball, and win the contests... bang more bodies D's.

    • 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.
