Need to get the game on our terms in the clearances so we can control the ball movement better going forward.

Too often goes missing for too many quarters when the going gets tough.  Tends to look/perform better when we are on top.

You're talking about Jesse Hogan though right? Weids goes missing all the time in 2019 but played a couple of handy ones in 2018. Hoges dominated minnows in July.

Jack Viney always looked fine. I'd be shocked if he misses the rest of this game.

Geez chook I don’t know about that. I had a lump in my throat when I saw the image of him sitting in the bench.

    'Play on at all costs' is a terrible game plan.  Suicide against any half decent team. 

    Our delivery is already rubbish enough without the added disability of doing it blindly.  Brayshaw and friends = panic merchants.

    It looks like two teams of under tens out there.  How does Goodwin think this is sustainable?

    Our disposal efficiency is up significantly, particularly in 1st Qrt

    This is my biggest issue with our team, moving the ball too quickly too often. The best teams know when to put the accelerator on if they see the options but will seach for the link up ball that allows the forwards to get separation on their man. 

    ANB, Jones, Oliver, and Petracca from what I can remember of that quarter were all guilty of just banging it in there and the fact of the matter is that unless they hit the forward laces out it was always going to be rebounded.

    Gilbert McAdam is living his best life. Head to toe in a fancy suit on national TV, but wearing comfy sneakers at the same time.

    I'm not being facetious  but he needs to find a way to get himself involved

    Plonk Weid in the goalsquare. 

    And watch him get nudged off the ball repeatedly? If we want somebody to play in the goalsquare the better person would be Preuss but it’s been shown repeatedly for many weeks we don’t want to play that way in our forward line, so I don’t think they would consider it

    Viney not on the ground to start the quarter or am I wrong?

    Gawny saying a few choice words to Stef before the quarter starts.


    In Weeds' defense the game is being played at ground level. Hipwood has also had zero impact.

    We don't want to play that way in the forward line, but our midfielders want to play that way kicking into f50. There's your disconnect. Hopefully Goody's just soiled himself watching Gawn go down and we'll get some sanity next week.

    • 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.
