Memo to players .... don't cough up goals in the first and/or last minute of quarters.

Memo to mids....dont get jumped again.

    My message to the team would be run, run, run.

    That swarm has beaten others, and we do it all over the field.

    We aren't doing stupid things when we have the ball, so don't start today. Do the basics well and take your opportunities.

    Hoping for a stylish high skilled game with a lot of effort and 1 percenters.

    I still want them to be angry and not to ease up on a middle of the table team.

    Need our accuracy and centre clearances to improve.

    We must have confidence, which helps in game planning and  the ability to implement the things they work on during the week, plus having a smile at their workplace, I expect continued improvement.

    Agree about getting jumped early and coughing up junk time goals.  Don't allow it.

    Go Dees

    Addit:

                Who is the med sub?  Melky's the sub. Great to have experience around the players and if called on.

                How is the weather?

    We're playing one of the only sides comparable to us for poor starts: both us and them have only won 3 of 8 first quarters this year (North, Fremantle, Adelaide and St Kilda are the only other sides in the competition less than 4).

    They're 6 of 8 in third quarters, but only 4 of 8 in fourth quarters (we're 7 of 8 and the only loss was last week to Sydney by a point).

    Is anyone behind the goals at the Punt road end singing "Youll Never Walk Alone?"

    A W in the W/L column is all that's required 

    I reckon we'll have that covered halfway through the 2nd quarter, and really turn it on. A 10 goal win is there for the taking.

    Also, since sacking Brendan Bolton in mid-2019, Carlton have lost 20 games. But of those 20 losses, only two have been by more than 5 goals (a 68 point loss to Geelong in the last round of 2019 and a 31 point loss to Hawthorn last year).

    So they don't always win, but under Teague they rarely get well beaten.

    Would love to see a big first quarter today. 
     

    We’ve only won the first quarter in three matches this year, and with the exception of Rd 1 against the Dockers, not by much at all.  
     

    Of the teams we’ve lost first quarters to are the Hawks and the Roos. 
     

    Our slow starts can’t become the norm.

    Gerard on 360 said that May needed the scalp of McKay today in order to be seen as sitting alongside Andrews, Moore and Weitering in the elite fullback club.

    Although that is garbage as he already sits comfortably alongside them, and it’s one game, if that’s what he and others need to allow him into the elite club then so be it.

    I’ll take a win and Maysie giving Harry a nice bath.

     

    Shallowly assumptive of the star qualities; just look at the points against for the team across the ladder. That will tell you who is most likely to be the most effective at fullback, holding the whole defence together and initiating plays into attack. May is already up there and simultaneously, ahead.

    We have to get off to a great start. The past few weeks the teams have jumped us by kicking the first few goals.

    • PREVIEW: North Melbourne

      Can you believe it? After a long period of years over which Melbourne has dominated in matches against North Melbourne, the Demons are looking down the barrel at two defeats at the hands of the Kangaroos in the same season. And if that eventuates, it will come hot on the heels of an identical result against the Gold Coast Suns. How have the might fallen? There is a slight difference in that North Melbourne are not yet in the same place as Gold Coast. Like Melbourne, they are currently situated in the lower half of the ladder and though they did achieve a significant upset when the teams met earlier in the season, their subsequent form has been equally unimpressive and inconsistent.

    • REPORT: Adelaide

      The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.

    • CASEY: Coburg

      The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

    • PREGAME: Rd 18 vs North Melbourne

      After four weeks on the road the Demons make their long awaited return to the MCG next Sunday to play in a classic late season dead rubber against the North Melbourne Kangaroos. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
