Instead of talking about Weiderman coming in for Jackson, let's talk about Weiderman in for TMac.

Let's talk about Weideman instead. You clearly have a sharp eye for detail.

    Good to see truck has worked in his goal kicking.
    Seemed to be more confident when kicking for goal which is good to see. (Kicking his first goal also helps his confidence)

    I’m willing to give them at least another week or two given the circumstances, especially given the Eagles capitulated to the Suns which no one saw coming. Also seems rather pointless calling for the coach’s head given no club will be in a position to afford to sack a coach this year.

    Is this result a fitness issue?

    Its hard to believe not long ago Tmac was a contender for the Coleman.

    Petracca solid and kicked true.

    Lever and May need to pull up their socks.

    Can we play one of these guys up forward?

    The sad irony of this team is that we have a prodigious list of talent.

    We have seen many of these players really shine.

    That said how can we constantly explain the inconsistancy?

    Is it possible T Mac cracked the sads that his bother got omitted and hence came in with a poor attitude?

    This post is up there with the comment after round 1 that the players were "worried how they would get home from Perth"

    Give me strength this club can be pathetic. 

    How about we demand consistent effort.

    I can’t figure out if we are a good side coached poorly or just a poor side

    either way, it’s seems 2018 was the exception, not a trend

    I reckon TMac will come good. He has the turning circle of a truck right now for some reason. If he can get his body right, I still see him as a forward.

    Actually i agree with that. Watch it this morning without the emotion live & they definitely lifted especially the last two to three minutes !

    I've watched the last 2 minutes again. I haven't changed my opinion. Was shocking and very lucky to get away with it. Lever kicking to a two on one, where are the structures and players pushing across for the obvious down the line kick. Luckily, Carlton are just like us and don't know how to win.

    Again, some perspective is needed. In this round alone we’ve seen

    Are all of those clubs senior coaches [censored] like a Goody supposedly is?

    Fair enough point 

    i was after 4 goals a quarter wins most matches in any competition 

    consistent effort The thing. But I do take your point. It’s a different year and we are not Man Friday !!

    Pretty much nailed it with this post

    Yes he did with the negative twins,junior Mac and Clint, the negative twins, even after 10 goal wins, which by the way a can't wait for, hope they are round the corner. It's a pattern for the round, most teams have gone a half of footy with ever few goals, actually 90 % of teams have.

    If I had to choose between us bravely holding on or Carlton completely stuffing it up, I'd go with the latter.

    Heaven knows, as an MFC supporter, I know what a side choking in the final two minutes looks like.

    Let's put this round down as a preseason game with 4 points

    I’m putting the entire season down as that.

    Sounds like a good way to keep our sanity.

    Why do we have to be one of them?

    In clutch moments Jayden Hunt always seems to step up.

    Yesterday he was playing forward all day but runs past Brayshaw on the back flank when the game was in the balance received it and distributes it well. Then seconds later the ball is in our forward line and he is the one battling the contest.

    He's previously kicked a winning goal from a set shot.

    He's also created a contest, won the ball and kicked it to the player (I can't remember) who kicked the winning goal in another game.

    Plus the torp after 3/4 time siren.

    If anyone can remind me which games they all were I'll start a new thread

    First game back, hope they can iron out the creases this week leading into Essendon. Carlton are probably kicking themselves they weren't switched on from the start. 

    Goodwin showed us that when things go bad he can do nothing.

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
