He’s not on his Pat Malone mate. 

Exactly. But he is a current captain out there.

He just [censored] balance out in the midfield. Get him out of there and get Petracca in there.

No one is on him. 

He is a smart footballer.  They just showed Libba flicking him a handpass on the outside - Sparrow got sucked in to the contest, which we do way too often.  The bloke knows where to position himself and we need to be better in this regard.

I know it’s early days but we all know when we don’t turn up switched on, we don’t win.

73/27% time in forward half. Losing CPs, closing clearances.

This is not how we want to play (Goodwin said before the game we want it to be in our forward half, Mahony just now in an interview said it's not how we want to play).

That's this teams biggest problem. We don't know what to do when the game is not played on our terms. 


Get the ball out wider once we gain possession and play a shorter kicking game where possible with this fickle breeze

    Viney needs to start having some awareness and do the team thing

    Quit taking on every single bloke 

    Viney has no pace and can't hit a target so please go in hard and then give it off

    We are putting zero pressure on them in our forward half. 

    hope AVB gives the team a lesson how to pressure and tackle at Q time

    I accidentally read that as ANB and it takes on a different meaning.

    WWEEEEEEEEEDDDDDD!!!

    FRITSCH = SOFT

    Yep, seems afraid of his own shadow. Does nothing most games, except a few behinds before snagging one late. 
     

    But who do you bring in?


    Great pick up from Hannan, and super finish from Weideman in the conditions.  Love the confidence to kick it!

    6 inside 50s for 5 scores.  At least we are being efficient.

    Hannan you legend.

    Can't argue with this guy's attack on the ball.

    Classy goal from Weid.

    Downfield was a joke. Ball had not even touched the boot.

    Just had to check the AFL rules to make sure I wasn't mistaken. They say the free kick can be awarded where the incident take place or where the ball is. Considering they were both the same spot it shows that the umpire literally didn't know the rule. For me that's worse than most regular mistakes

    when playing footy the first thing to learn is how to kick the [censored] thing ,guess our players skipped that page in the instructions

    Beautiful pickup by Hannan and great goal Weed

    Well done Hannan

    I wish they would stop calling Pruess a makeshift ruckman

    • 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.
