Yep that flick was far too cute. It's times like this where we're prone to complacency thinking it's already all locked up.

I think the flip has worked well the problem was the lack of a melbourne player running through there.

Bad last 5 mins

We slacked off a lot more than five minutes it was just that the kicked their goals in the last few mins. They had lots of the ball just kicked inaccurately during the quarter.

    Servicable

     

    We were outplayed for most of the second half of the quarter. It's actually a relief they didn't score more against us. Hopefully we can get back on top through the middle.
    BTW I really like Rivers - he looks a keeper.

    Melksham and Jones quiet, need to do more.


    Disappointing that we let them back in the game. We are up by 5 goals a comfortable lead but not a match winning lead. Lets hope we find our first quarter form.

    Quiet with good little bits, hasn’t really been in many contested marking situations. I’d like to see a bit more from him in the 2nd half.

    Rivers looks very good, Jackson has wow factor!

    Rivers does look good. Jackson is thereabouts. It's a big ask to have a first year player chopping out in the ruck. I'd love to see him snag a goal.

    Struggling with the pace of ball movement so fumbled a couple but he is getting into the right positions and hopefully the nerves settle. 

    Thanks, lets hope he can get in the the game?


    41 points up only a small big lead lot easier to come back from, after the first 7 goals ever side is certain to kick the next few goals fact of football.


    Knuckle up Melbourne 

     

    Whats with the fumbling

    • 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.
