    Its the first game of the season and we look done.

    I don't think it has anything to do with speed, dazzle.  It's more to do with workrate.  Lots of commentary around how we're coming off stuffed, while Port come off looking fresh and ready to roll.  At the moment we don't have the legs to run with them, speed or not.  That's a worrying sign.

    [censored] pathetic Melbourne! Nothing has changed over the summer!

    We are so slow and have gone into survival mode.

     

    Why is Viney playing if he can’t get around the ground? 3 touches and 1 tackle.

    Good composure from Wagner there.  

    And Trac kicking a set shot?  Is that a good sign?

    Wagner has been pretty good

    He has certainly shown that he could play more senior footy, and good senior footy, for us this year.

    their transition out of defense is destroying us. people say speed or lack thereof is our Achilles heal. It's not. The MCG is.

    sounds more like the problems of last year where for most of the season we pushed our zone too deep

    Getting bullied and killed on the outside by a bunch of [censored] kids!

    For how poor that second quarter was, outside of the last 5 minutes or so, we're still just 3 points down.  There is an absolute bucketload of improvement still to come from a variety of players, and a bake from Goody will surely rev them up a little.

    Their transition from defence has been terrific we we've generally had no answer for it.  We will need to find that answer quickly, otherwise we will find ourselves in a hole we can't dig ourselves out of.

    Salem has been excellent across half back, Fritsch is an absolute gun and Melksham is such a good player.

    We need Viney to life, Trac to get involved and to fire up as a whole for 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.
