Viney and Jones zero tackles is just disgusting, Brayshaw has at least had 7 tackles, viney should not be captain of this football club he is not upto it, Jones at least has runs on the board 

 

Trading/delisting our depth has really affected us this year.

Jkh Wagner Pruess Omac hunt dunkley petty should only be in the same team at Casey. 

Wow we just get brushed aside in one on one battles of strength as if we aren't even there. 

This club is playing at a completely different level after half time and once the rain hit.  Dr Jeckyll specialists!

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

    Im starting to think likewise.

    Certainly Nathan as hes getting on and if plays will hgave a very different role.

    With Jack I still feel he was good last year and given how many other players considered leaders have had shockers this year maybe he gets a pass.

    If he is still boss he must share it with Max.

    Although too many captains.....

    Viney only attacks the ball, Jones cruises the outside for the easy lay off. Both played a pathetic second half.

    Yes RN the wet brings out who wants the ball and who doesn't. Unfortunately most of our players do not like it tough and would prefer to play in the stands.

    • 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?

      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.
