If Oliver, Viney and Brayshaw get on top and the umpires shed their bias, we are seriously in this.

Yep, it's what has me quietly confident for the second half.  They lifted in that last ten minutes, so hopefully that has given them confidence.

I agree with others that we have been well beaten in some areas tonight, but the fact we are still in it is a real positive.  Our forward line has looked much more open which has allowed us to kick more goals and have those opportunities.  If the three you mentioned above continue to lift then we can get more of those chances in the second half.

    If Jones is to play it must be up forward - useless elsewhere.

    Hibberd is gone. Hore showing something.

    Wagners will never be any good.

    OMac just horrible.

    Your last two statements i agree with. I haven't given up on Hibb's yet though.

    Had a bit of a shocker.

    I've felt Frosty hasn't been too bad so far tonight, apart from one kicking blunder.  He has generally done some good things down back.

    U pairing is [censored]. Boundaries can’t throw the ball in. Field umpires always looking for a soft over the shoulder to the Swans and if we get a free they bring it back everytime allowing the Swans to manup. Front on contact to our forwards doesn’t exist. Anyway we are still in it. Petracca stand up mate!

    Sure, but the forward line isn't really the problem, it's up the other end of the ground where we've been leaking goals all season. Even against Essendon we managed 18 goals - which, incidentally was the 3rd highest score in the whole round.

    Long bombs i50 not hurting us as much. A few are thankfully looking shorter

     

    My God were in front!!!

    That ump will be sacked

    Front contact now but not in 1st quarter? Umpires are straight out idiots

    We simply can’t let the ball into our defensive 50 because it’s a certain goal. 

     

    Let’s put Spargo on the mark again.

    • 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.
