Think the most disappointing thing about this game so far for mine...

... is all those empty seats!

We'll get back on track. I have faith.

30 degrees at the MCG.... fitness will be a big factor in this second half

My MFCSS tells me we're not the fitter side.

Hope our skills make up the difference

Feels strange sitting at the G watching the footy and wearing a singlet.

Sorry Eddie, it’s not a very silvertail singlet either.

Cmon Dees, get your system back.

    How many times have we seen an NQR Viney come back too early in the last few seasons?

    Can't say I am surprised. We looked exactly the same in the JLT. We look very one paced in the midfield.

    Still in it. Just need to start being a bit cleaner with the ball and get it back on our terms.

    Yeah been pleasantly surprised about Sparrow, thought he'd take time settling in VFL before debuting.

    Has not looked out of place.

    Off track may be part of the issue.  The Met off track that is.  

    Imagine the prospect instead of a crowded train after the game, a bus ... how many will be needed and how many will be available.  

    I know people who did not come for that reason.

    We’ve had a great run with the umpires.

    Thought they've been generally poor overall, despite the numerous rule changes and clarifications

    If we can't win with them playing J. Watts in the backline then I'll be really worried. Only a kick in it and we've not played well with lots of the side down. C'mon lads lift.


    Gawn should come out for the first ruck contest stick the leg in and win the contest. 

    Im sure Goodwin will structure us back on track. 

    Big big 3rd quarter coming up

    18 frees to 8 our way. Once the eveners start getting paid we might find ourselves in some trouble. Our guys look very tired already and they are fresh. Not great after the first 15 mins. 

     

    Time to lift boys 

    It's probably even already from when we last played in Adelaide

    Harmes just had a spew on the field when he came out after half time

    That's a good omen he's sick to his stomach with what we dished up that half.


    Great kick from Trac, and smart from Melksham.  Let the captain kick the goal to get us going.

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      It seems like only yesterday that these two sides faced off against each other in the centre of the continent. It was when Melbourne was experiencing a rare period of success with five wins from its previous six matches including victories over both of last year’s grand finalists.  Well, it wasn’t yesterday but it was early last month and it remains etched clearly in the memory. The Saints were going through a slump and the predicted outcome of their encounter at TIO Traeger Park was a virtual no-brainer. A Melbourne victory and another step closer to a possible rise into finals contention. Something that was unthinkable after opening the season with five straight defeats.

    • 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.

      The Demons come face to face with St. Kilda for the second time this season for their return clash at Marvel Stadium on Sunday. Who comes in and who goes out?
