Well I did open the changes thread last week with the comment that we should not play Lever and Smith in the same backline.

I got howled down

Time to find an interest in another sport for the season

    Execution, execution, execution. That Oliver turnover in the last minutes summed it all up.

    Nothing to do with Goodwin or the coaches, nothing to do with the system, everything to do with the players' failure to be able to execute even simple kicks/handballs, yet alone under pressure.

    Petracca one of the few exceptions.

    I was rolling my eyes at Dermott pre match when he suggested we have a couple of stat padders in the middle.

    Watching Oliver... ?

    Goodwin banged on that Harley needed to work on his defensive pressure.

    Melksham 3 disposal 0 tackled

    Hunt 4 disposal 4 disposal 1 tackle..

    We are a garbage football club. Something is rotting at the football club. We have the talent on paper, but our coaching is a shambles.

    We can play when we choose to. It is frustrating as all heck.

    May and Hibberd huge in the second half. Hibberd might be a bit of a butcher but his efforts are crucial. 

    Petracca is a star. If Oliver wants to be one he needs to fix those kicks under no pressure and do it yesterday.

    We can play when the oppositions ruckman and 2 others are out of the game.

    For the  most part, the effort was there.

    But skills - appalling. No excuses. Especially for that late kick by Oliver. No pressure, 15 metre pass missing by 5 metres when we had all the momentum. Sums up our day actually. 

    So often over the last 20 years, our skills have murdered us.

    It's an actual talent to take Oliver, Petracca and Brayshaw combined with Gawn and be useless.

     

    On paper that is the most talented starting midfield in the league, in practice on the other hand ?

    Finally Oliver Brayshaw and Viney are exposed.

    Footy is dead to me for 2020.

    MFC can’t select the right side. Can’t dispose of the footy. Terrible coaching. Low scoring. 

    We’ve had 2 years to correct this rubbish disposal.

    Only thing that would save the year for me is a new coach.

    • 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.

      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.
