Slow start when we kicked badly and flat finish in the last where they kicked 4.3 to our 1.2 but on the whole we played well.

Good to see the switch across half back and the tempo changes.  We lost but a lot to like for the last few games of the season.

Huge game by Clarrie and Fritsch not far behind.

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

    Like last week and many other games this season no matter how competitive and strong we are during the game we toss it away in the last quarter. We rarely look like winners at the death.

    We had a really good stab at it, a lot of things worked for us. 

    An encouraging performance, but ultimately not there yet.

    Missed easy goals again. Petty, lewis missed 2 each they should have kicked and max again missed a sitter. 

    4th quarter we just couldn't kick goals

    The game was lost when that (censored) umpire gave a free against Max for trying to mark the ball. Terrible decision. Blind.

    We were ok but have lost the confidence to take the game on when it’s there to be won

    Hands down our biggest issue.

    This.

    Also, skills. Also, both of those: experience.

    Preuss.

    Laughable that some on here questioned the FD’s decision not to pick him earlier this season. The least fittest bloke on our list by a mile. Todd Viney would have beaten him in the 3km time trial.

    Fritsch up forward is a game changer.

    Begs belief why he was down back for so long.

    Wagner (Older) did well as well I thought, was hard at it in contests winning several.

    Brayshaw did well keeping Yeo quiet, maybe that was the trade off of him going back into the center.

    Petty worth continuing up forward, Lewis also. 

    Poor games from Preuss, Lockhart and female umpire

    To continue the theme of patting myself on the back: exactly as I said last week. Has ten thumbs. Not AFL tandem-ruck quality until rectified.

    I wonder what all the posters that were saying he would make a difference think now.

    Er, i didn't see it - what happened?

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      It seems like only yesterday that these two sides faced off against each other in the centre of the continent. It was when Melbourne was experiencing a rare period of success with five wins from its previous six matches including victories over both of last year’s grand finalists.  Well, it wasn’t yesterday but it was early last month and it remains etched clearly in the memory. The Saints were going through a slump and the predicted outcome of their encounter at TIO Traeger Park was a virtual no-brainer. A Melbourne victory and another step closer to a possible rise into finals contention. Something that was unthinkable after opening the season with five straight defeats.

    • 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.
