Front on contact. The rules are as clear as day. 

 

Melksham v Hurley summary: High, high, high, holding, push in the back.

No free play on.

 

But yes our problems are still there. Such an easy goal to McD-T Goody's contention is probably that it doesn't matter when all our stars are dominating. But when do ALL a team's stars dominate for an entire season?

    4 unpaid free kicks in a row to Melksham.........unpaid....Disgraceful   .

    That's about 4 throws out of congestion from the Bongers so far...NONE spotted!  

    Mustn't have gone to Specsavers!

    Make that 5!

    Turn around due to spark from C Wagner and Lockhart

    Be careful they’re going to come at us with everything in the 3rd

     

    We are getting hung on to, smacked, pushed, and are getting nothing from the umps.

    In the meantime, if we even breathe heavily near and Druggie player they get the whistle out.

    Disgraceful

    The lift came suddenly! All started with that bit of confidence from Clarry to Melky. Keep it up!

    It feels a little similar to the same game last year.  We struggled early, then everything clicked and we ran over the top of them.  Let's hope the second half is similar to that one tonight.

    What a great quarter. Defensively looked 10000 times better, seems our mids got back and supported a bit more. Its funny what happens when you run and make space for your team mates. 

    Umpires missed a few frees close to goal for us there. Need to keep the peptides in it somehow 

    Wagner and Frost have been our 2 best defenders.

    It’s nowhere near as congested as I was expecting it to be

    T Mac being forced off actually created space i50 - putting him on the wing upon return kept that forward line open

    Now keep going Dees

    you are kidding this phthetic

    Theres a heatbeat...


    Shiel is destroying us. Curtail him and I reckon we can win this. 

    We still look miles off, but they worked hard this quarter and finally got some decent ball movement happening. 

    Salem and Oliver are class.

    Wow, what is happening?! I did not see this coming the way we were playing 

    we weren't playing that was the trouble.

    Now they decided to have a dip, and maybe the bummers thought they have us.  easing the pressure off

    We are away now, and should be able to find some faith again.  Our season is just starting now, still rusty, and tactics need a tweak.

    With KK, Lockhart, Wagner x2, all relatively new to team, it took the first to gel. Was much better in second. Pieces starting to click, end to end.

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
