Our 4th Quarter fitness is an indictment on Missons tenure at the Dees.

    Poor kicks poor football we are just not good enough in a crisis situation 

     

    This umpire is so so so bad. She needs to just go away. Embarrassing stuff!

    To be fair, we've been down on rotations in hot conditions. Not a fair game to be making that call on.

    If our DH coach says in the presser that was an honorable loss I'll spew up. They can sing for my membership next year, I've had a gutful of this BS they dish up week after week. Pathetic losers.

    True. But we are both a man down this quarter.

    We are not a 4 quarter team. Haven’t been all year. Just another problem to add to a long list of problems.

    Another superb kick by ANB, gives us a goal in the third! Great pass to Fritsch

    And that was about the last we saw of him other than a few cameos in general play Farmer....not good enough by a long way.   A bit like the MFC for many many decades.

    20 degrees, 28% humidity.

    It is a myth that Alice is hot, or humid, in winter.

    Poor kicking at goal has cost us another win.

    We are our own worst enemy.   They ran all over us again which is another issue that needs to be addressed.

    Kick straight and we would have been up by 5 goals at 3/4 time.  And with that sort of lead the legs find another gear.

    No stars and no genuine forwards able to finish of the good work 640.  All injured or didn't fire a shot all year other than T-Mac in one three quarter cameo.

    Well the Fritsch kick cost us the game. Stay forward!

    What a disgraceful comment. He was probably one of only a few players who kept us in the game.

    • CASEY: Sydney

      The Casey Demons were always expected to emerge victorious in their matchup against the lowly-ranked Sydney Swans at picturesque Tramway Oval, situated in the shadows of the SCG in Moore Park. They dominated the proceedings in the opening two and a half quarters of the game but had little to show for it. This was primarily due to their own sloppy errors in a low-standard game that produced a number of crowded mauls reminiscent of the rugby game popular in old Sydney Town. However, when the Swans tired, as teams often do when they turn games into ugly defensive contests, Casey lifted the standard of its own play and … it was off to the races. Not to nearby Randwick but to a different race with an objective of piling on goal after goal on the way to a mammoth victory. At the 25-minute mark of the third quarter, the Demons held a slender 14-point lead over the Swans, who are ahead on the ladder of only the previous week's opposition, the ailing Bullants. Forty minutes later, they had more than fully compensated for the sloppiness of their earlier play with a decisive 94-point victory, that culminated in a rousing finish which yielded thirteen unanswered goals. Kicks hit their targets, the ball found itself going through the middle and every player made a contribution.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      Hands up if you thought, like me, at half-time in yesterday’s game at TIO Traeger Park, Alice Springs that Melbourne’s disposal around the ground and, in particular, its kicking inaccuracy in front of the goals couldn’t get any worse. Well, it did. And what’s even more damning for the Melbourne Football Club is that the game against St Kilda and its resurgence from the bottomless pit of its miserable start to the season wasn’t just lost through poor conversion for goal but rather in the 15 minutes when the entire team went into a slumber and was mugged by the out-of-form Saints. Their six goals two behinds (one goal less than the Demons managed for the whole game) weaved a path of destruction from which they were unable to recover. Ross Lyon’s astute use of pressure to contain the situation once they had asserted their grip on the game, and Melbourne’s self-destructive wastefulness, assured that outcome. The old adage about the insanity of repeatedly doing something and expecting a different result, was out there. Two years ago, the score line in Melbourne’s loss to the Giants at this same ground was 5 goals 15 behinds - a ratio of one goal per four scoring shots - was perfectly replicated with yesterday’s 7 goals 21 behinds. 
      This has been going on for a while and opens up a number of questions. I’ll put forward a few that come to mind from this performance. The obvious first question is whether the club can find a suitable coach to instruct players on proper kicking techniques or is this a skill that can no longer be developed at this stage of the development of our playing group? Another concern is the team's ability to counter an opponent's dominance during a run on as exemplified by the Saints in the first quarter. Did the Demons underestimate their opponents, considering St Kilda's goals during this period were scored by relatively unknown forwards? Furthermore, given the modest attendance of 6,721 at TIO Traeger Park and the team's poor past performances at this venue, is it prudent to prioritize financial gain over potentially sacrificing valuable premiership points by relinquishing home ground advantage, notwithstanding the cultural significance of the team's connection to the Red Centre?

    • POSTGAME: St. Kilda

      After kicking the first goal of the match the Demons were always playing catch up against the Saints in Alice Spring and could never make the most of their inside 50 entries to wrestle back the lead.
