We need to change to black and white jumper to get a free. 

 

2 things (under 12 sort of stuff);

 

- make it look like you’re trying to get rid

of the ball in a tackle, even if you’re not

- when you take a mark or free kick, get back far enough so you can kick the ball easily over the man on the mark’s head.

let 10 HtB ho that would've been called 10 days ago

Then ping Harmes

Total Bu.... S4It

Absolutely.

Jackson looking good for a 3rd gamer


Holding the ball only applies to one side it seems.

Weid had been good apart from goal kicking

Absolutely.  He's beaten Andrews a few times already.  Just needs to kick the goals, but very happy with his output so far.

Jetta looks concussed, hope it's not that and it's minor.

We started poorly but settled and our defence of the ground improved. They've only scored from a turnover and a free, we're otherwise doing well to limit their scoring.

Up the other end we're doing a lot right but Weid's two misses are frustrating. He should have 2 goals and we should be 1-2 goals up.

Weid, Jackson, Hannan and Melksham all looking dangerous. Jones looks a step off the pace, hope he picks that up soon.

Embarrassing wasn't it?

How many decades have they got this wrong. It’s embarrassing and frankly it’s a little bit racist. 


What’s wrong with Jetta?

Went off down the race.

He is attacks it and can follow up if he doesn't clunk it.

Jones looks like a deep depth VFL player.

Brisbane is very flash in the pan. Put a body on them and the link is broken. Extremely beatable.

Also there was a blatant HTB in our forward pocket where Neale/Rayner (can't recall who) was spun in a tackle and threw it out.

When those aren't paid, and then the Harmes one is paid, it gets frustrating.


Our forwards are working hard, just need to capitalise.

Mids doing a good jobs. Oliver's kicking is nearly costing us.

Cmon boys! We got this.

Would love to get a goal in a manner other than off-the-ground-in-the-middle-of-the-goalsquare style, but I'll take being level right now.

Weideman and Oscar McDonald giving us a great deal of structure. Weid needs to figure out how to kick a ball straight when it's dewey.

Jackson will be some player. I thought he would show nothing this year, but the fact that he's doing everything he's doing with so few games and so far off his ideal body shape gives me a lot of faith he'll be an amazing, one-of-a-kind type player over the journey. A true "every position" player.

That white goalpost looks racist to me

I was yelling at my screen and scared my daughter with that one in our pocket.  Then Harmes gets pinged and it's all over.

Both teams had chances and both would feel like they could’ve got better reward for opportunities. 

Weid is taking grabs which is a plus but bugger me that miss was god awful. I hope there’s someone giving him pointers on what he’s doing wrong. Can’t be coughing up opportunities like that. 

Clayton’s kicking is becoming a liability. Twice he butchered it to give them an inside 50. 


Anticipating an "honourable loss" here. They have too many players who make you pay when the mistakes come - and we still make plenty of mistakes.

Still, can't question endeavour, and setting up well.

 

Also. Trac's vision is the best I have ever seen from a Melbourne player, bar none.

  • 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.
