We won’t have the skill required to win this.

In the post-game last week a couple of the players made mention of what happened last year and that the players hadn't forgotten it.

 

Y didn't Harmes kick it short to Langdon in the forward 50 rather kick it to a Port 50/50

    Back to dominating inside 50s and wasting them.

    do we ever get clean entry inside 50? 

    No. 



    So much effort and energy burnt for no result, opposition rush down rick it neatly to their leading forward, goal!

    Harmes back in defence ?

    May kicks to Max from kick out every time so predicatable they get it and goal.

    harmes has gone from a regularly reliable kick to target to bombing it every time

    the zone defense is a MESS currently

    It looks that way as we are putting zero pressure on when the ball hits the deck in our forward half.

    For the zone to work, the pressure needs to be up down the ground.  It's non-existant at present.

     

    It's not looking good.  There's no spark there tonight.  They're going through the motions but the tackles are half-hearted, they're not crashing in to get the ball and disposal is loose.  We won't win this one.

    • 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.
