Umps not giving us much

That's an understatement.  17 frees to 10 their way.

 
 

The only thing I don't like so far is our pressure in the forward line when he ball hits the deck.  They have run it out far too easily this term.  We need to be better with this.


 

[censored] I love Jetta! Awesome mark!

    I wish every player on this team had the same attitude & effort as Neville Jetta.

    Went through like a freight train!

    As for Smith, got injured through his own stupidity. Decides to play and after marking and have his kick smothered when he should've gone back and given himself more distance over the mark.

    Lewis has been good today.

    Said Fritsch off injured and said nothing else since. Useless commentators

    I don’t know if you guys follow the NBA, but as Boston fan, Jetta reminds me so much of Marcus Smart.

    Again TMac and Weid spoil each other. 

    That's what happens when you just bomb it in long. A bit more clarity from those delivering the ball would make it easier for our forwards.

    An easy chest mark dropped by Spargo and puts us immediately under pressure the other way.


    This has been a great contest. But both sides need to put it away for the past quarter. Players are dropping like flies. It's a practice match ffs!

    We can't stop them running out of defence. 

    To me, that's the only thing that I've been disappointed with.  I can handle the skills, fitness etc. at this time of the year.  But our pressure when the ball his the deck hasn't been great, and for the game style we have it needs to be better.  We bomb it in and if it isn't marked then we keep it in there and set up the wall.  Hasn't happened nearly enough today, although you would expect it to improve when the real stuff begins.

     

    Fritsch with a hip. Don’t think he will play again today. 

    Our defence is all at sea. Can’t say I’m full of confidence at the moment. It is just a practice match I know, but between our horrible form and the injuries, I prefer it be over already.

    Have to agree Wise. If that is indeed our gameplan, then keeping the ball in once it hits the deck has to be our biggest contingency plan should we not mark it.

    • 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.
