Have to agree. How come they can take the ball the full length of the ground by kicking it to each other, when we suffer a concentration lapse after one short kick.

Goody seems to have shown a bias towards a "play on and kick down the line" method IMO Dimmy.

Thats ok if you have regular marking beasts that can take advantage and/or you are usually winning the clearance from related stoppages.

At this point we arent doing the former much at all and the latter is only about even vs the opp.

The outlet kick to a pocket is 'usually' a much better option.  Even if you can't link up you are at least an extra 20 meters further away from the opp's goals down the line.

 

Frost had to punch that to thr boundary 

 

Hard to believe Richmond let Lloyd go. He’s been one of their best.


2 goal turnround from Petracca once again missing an absolute sitter of a set shot.

Bloke will never be any more than a "B" grader.

Trade.

    Gawn pushed in the back..........play on. Joke of a game.

    We wont win this ... You can see the Dogs being all over it.

    We are too busy complaining to the umpires to actually make a contest.

    Go back to when a number 2 draft pick fluffed up a simple kick for goal. Game over. 

    Learn to kick Trac. You’re a bloody forward liability!

    • 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.
