3 times they've tried the kick over the top to Lewis, 3 times it has failed.

This has to be by far the worst game I have watched all year.

We are absolutely [censored] atrocious.

 

Salem can’t hit a target. Our disease has finally got him.

    mmmmmmmmmm

    perhaps we are tired... no wait.. that was the 2017 excuse

    This year it's injuries is the buzz word and the year before the year before it was we were too young

    Goodwin needs to do something about Oliver... 2 touches in 40 minutes odd of football.. hello Coach

    Salem 30 metre kick directly to Coffield's chest!!!

     

    Can't handle the pressure

    Where is the midfield? MIA.

    We are the worst skilled side in the AFL by a mile. 

     

    Both teams have had horrible skills, Saints have smashed us in the clearances, and that's where we need to start to turn things around.

    Salem and Jones are having shockers.

    Clarry tagged out of it.

    Baker is poor around the contest.

    Forward line is still disfunctional.

    Yes and no. Yes disposal is crap but we’re not really setting up fr easy movement of the ball either. Everything looks hard. We’re SO [censored] ... structures, skills. So hard to believe we’re back here again so fast.

    Schoolboy errors at this level is just embarrassing. I doubt we'll win if this awful brand of footy continues. Absolute shizenhouse

    Salems always been overrated.

    what a pitiful example of football. missing passes, handballs, tackles, no chasing.... actually its pretty much like we have been playing all year, so i guess we get top marks for consistency.

    Losing:

    contested possessions

    uncontested possessions

    inside 50s

    tackles

    marks inside 50

     

     


    well that all turned to [censored], viney, brayshaw, oliver 21 possessions combined. what's going on?

    The more I watch us this year, the more I think that it's not the injuries and the interrupted pre-seasons, or the 6-6-6 that has caught us out. It's the lack of having a runner out there the whole time. The collective footy IQ of this team is about Auskick level and without an onfield coach (ie. Runner) we're literally clueless out there. We are a joke.

    Oliver can’t handle a tag and he’s clueless as a forward.

    Brayshaw is an absolute worry.

    Gee we are lucky to still be in front. 

    Why hasn't maxy just stuck his knee up into this young kid? Show him who is the boss

    They have shut down Oliver completely. Our midfield need to regroup. 

    Its a shame we didn't try this Lewis experiment earlier. I don't mind it. 

    3rd quarter will be interesting.

    that's a coaching issue... and let's face it.. our guy ain't top drawer

    I hope we spend more time trying to drown our players with weird training exercises instead of working on our skills.

    Maybe dropping bricks on their heads might work this time...

    Getting wacked at the stoppages and on the outside.  Nothing new here as we send too many to the contest and don't maintain outliers for the receive.

    Forward line cactus ... inside 50 efficiency 45% to a whopping 63%.  Marks inside 50 .... 3 to 10!  To be expected given no T-Mac but we have the worst worst forward list (or equal with GCS).

    If we dont address the forward line flop we are toast again in 2020.  Takes pressure off defenders/mids allowing them to recover a little and set up behind the ball meaning a more effective wall/press and more repeat entries.

    Also are we still playing a spare behind the press?? I cant tell on the tele.  If not why not??

    • 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.
