Just looked our marking numbers this year. I know we are a game behind but our total marks for the year is the lowest.

 Not good.

 

With growing confidence from last week's performance, expect Demons to authoritatively take on Hawks.

Dees by five goals.

Jackson to surprise with 2 goals.

Weid to kick 3.

We will keep the Hawks to no more than six goals.

Yes, I'm probably partially drunk.  Maybe.

 

Goodwin just said in his pre-match interview that we're expecting Hawthorn to play faster today.

Let's hope he's right and they don't go the Geelong-style slow chip kick game.

Not sure of relevance. We're 13th for marks per game (higher than our opponent today).

Clarkson's MO is to let the 1st qtr unfold see what the op set ups are.  Move chess pieces around at qtr time.  Let 2nd qtr unfold.  Make more moves at half time.

Beware the coach that is not paying attention or is slow to react to Clarkson's moves.

All on our coaching box today.

    I couldn't watch a Melbourne game only partially drunk.

    You know how that goal came about?

    Brayshaw went to sleep on the wing.  His player ran forward, got the ball and then had an eternity to hit Gunston on the chest.

    Not good enough.

    lol Oliver ffs.


    Weiderman needed to clunk that. He looks like Jake Spencer sometimes in contests.

    Never looked like it.

    It's a shame as the effort from Pickett was terrific.

    Oliver’s disposal by foot is atrocious at times. 

    What do you mean at times.


    Oouff. Their pacing and spread is killing us.

    • 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.
