How does the coaching staff justify Smith in the side? 

Say the same about the staff.

    God I hate the camera shots of that zombie in our coach’s box.

    Spot on.  Some fool on here will blame Joel Smith for the smother goal, however, under no pressure Oliver handballs it on his shoelaces and the defensive forwards of Richmond thrive on that type of error. 

    I've been taking notice of Oliver,  and to a lesser extent Braysaw over the last few weeks.   Oli consistently flicks the ball off and when the ball leaves the area he stops.

    When Oliver has to tackle, often the tackle slips off.  Allowing the opponent away.

    So many of Oliver's physical efforts at opposition are impotent.

     

    He has allowed his game and efforts since 2018 to just jog along, like he does.

    He needs a big attitude change.

    The bright side is that because our Essendon match was postponed this is not season ending.... yet

    Yes it is DJ. Well if finals is our goal.


     

    Simon has his bag packed but he won't be leaving the building.

    Well we've done our good deed for the next team playing the tigs.

    They are all the walking wounded.

    Hibb, Tracc and Fritta can hold their heads up

    Fritsch has been poor, cost us multiple times with poor disposal especially early

    Agree MFM. He's got huge tickets on himself and is just about our laziest player. He could be a much better footballer, but he chooses not to be.

    Actually a lot to like about this game.

    So much better than last week.

    Because I knew we had lost at selection I've been able to enjoy the good parts of the game.

    1-4... we are alive..just

    1-5.... no chance

    So obviously Smith out for omac next week

    Weid and Jones in for Melksham and Vandenberg

    Jones in for Viney

    Brian friggin Taylor and the fake crowd’s over the top efforts to inject some excitement into this rubbish is just plain insulting.

    • 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.
