Kinda felt like Carlton played better that quarter.

What a damn shame they're 7 points down to show for it.

    Our zone is starting to kick in. The Baggers were picking through us way too easily in the first 10 minutes.

     

    I take it from the comments that BT is being BT. You can't go wrong with the mute button folks


    You can see with Chandler coming in why they prefer a settled side. Can't question his effort, but throws a bit of a spanner in the well-oiled machine. Unless I'm reading it wrong, they wanted Jones in for Melksham, and you can understand why.

    Chandler is off the pace at the moment so I'll cut him some slack. You'd expect it'll take him a quarter or two to get in to a rhythm with the game and the team. The Gawn/Brown one was a shocker though.

    Great mark from Weid at the end of the quarter, and great kick to TMac. 

    The part missing for me is the voice from Brown on the first one and then other fwds for Chandler to stay down. 
    Better voice all round and it’s 2 shots on goal or goals.

    I love how we've finished, and paced games this year but gee we look a little slow out of the blocks. I hope it's not complacency. 

    The Blues are NOT THAT BAD. They only lacked polish and experience against the Doggies, and we only just scraped past them last year (I know we are a different team know), so they should not be underestimated.

    Yes we should beat them, yes we're a much better side, but these things often mean nothing. Got to keep up the pressure today.

    Yep...two rookie errors there.  He'll learn but wouldn't want to make too many more this match

    Yep - I swore at Gawn in the first instance but then thought maybe it was just a lack of player talk; Brown's job as the leading in forward to call Gawn in or out. Happy to apportion equal blame to two experienced players though.



    Looks like the holding the ball correction starts today

    How is a push in the back deemed HTB? I hate these [censored] umpires. Fair dinkum!

    • 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.

    • 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.
