We can win this.

 

20 goals from turnovers the last two weeks but let’s blame some of our defenders.

Sums it up really. ?


The easiest way to score against us is to just give the ball to us!

Are you an umpire? Or related to one?

Yes we make skill errors but we have to do so much more with decisions that are paid against and not paid for us. If the umpiring was better then skills would be the only issue to worry about but sadly that’s not the case. 

Quit while you are ahead.

Umpires have nothing to do with effort and skill.

 

Out scored by 147 in the Second half of games this Season

Ranked 17th

Are you aware of this Goodwin??

Inspirational Captains...

Been saying for ages now we need players with some silky skills. As soon as it got wet the skills of Tigers stood out. We are bad  enough in the dry however when wet it just gets worse. Endeavour etc. is there but we just lack players with any skills and for that mater Brains.

they won't escape that this week. the true downside is that we might have to listen to Viney speak.

Therein answers our questions. These 2 cannot be skippers next year.

Gosh even in Primary school my coach taught me to get the ball moving forward at any opportunity in the wet.  Surely all players who reach the AFL and play for us know this by now???  Or is it just the ones that come to our club??

We lucky in a sense that Richmond are either off tonight or are just in cruise control.

 

Should be 10 goals down

  • 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.
