Dusty won the game for Richmond and Oscar kept Carlton in the game.

 

[censored] you Richmond.

Why do they do the little things so well? Doesn’t even take talent. But they do them better than anyone.

Dusty is an absolute freak though.

Is there anything worse than a player that kicks a goal rubbing the hair of the defender. Complete lack of respect and class. 

you have to respect your opponent 

 

Last half of the final quarter very important

Yes but take Dusty out of that contest and they probably lose. But that is why teams win multiple flags there is always a  great player driving the success. Barassi, Matthews, Hodge, Hird, Dusty.

Sam is not soft. Never squibs a contest and plays the ball hard. And doesn’t crap his pants when he has a shot on goal

Weideman is soft as [censored]. Often gets monstered by the opposition key back

What price you get through the next 48 hours?

Good luck

Lost it already and I don't even follow either of these teams.

we are going to get absolutely smashed this season, call me reactionary whatever. there was not a single around the ground ball up all game, boundary throw ins sure but pure ball ups - none. and that's all we're good at...

Blues #duds. Bottom 8 Oscar seriously

Well, one things is for sure.

BT & JB along with Jobe and Hodgey were appalling.

Fair point. If there’s less stoppages as a result of the new rules and game styles, then our strength (stoppages and contests) is taken away and our weakness (clean kicking and maintaining possession) is magnified.

Sorry OD didn’t mean to offend. I know you are a big Blues fan

No problem I have a thick skin.

They got closer to the Tigers than we did last year.

Yes i was thinking about that

Goodwin has coached a different game style. 
we need players who spread and shepherd each other!!

Carlton played into the tigers hands and nearly won.

Good on them but playing that way against Richmond you will lose four out of six.

Not sure what style is required but the slow maul is pobably better.

I noticed the importance of fast hands tonight, teams who handball the quickest will do well (bulldogs come to mind) 

Thought Carlton did the overlap handball  really well. Wonder if that is coming back into vogue.

Harry McKay really needs to convert better. He has all the tools!

Noted that tonight, they played a different style, fast direct footy which was great to see, made them look like a far better side than us

Might be tougher but had zero composure and can’t convert. 

imagine if the Weed played the 3 quarters McKay played. He’d be crucified on here 

Haha McKay can't convert,  but yet Weideman missed a simple goal 25m dead in front against Adelaide to win us the game..

You say it's poor list management we delisted McDonald and now you're saying Weideman is better then McKay?? You really are a Doozy..

McKay is everything I wish Weideman was at. Weideman has done nothing since that Geelong game. That's nearly 3 years ago now..

  • NON-MFC: Round 15

And which results would be most favourable for the Demons if we can manage to turn our season around?

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

  • PREGAME: Gold Coast

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

  • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
