The lack of pressure from the mids and high half forwards is the problem more than those missing from the backline. 

Yes that too. But Crows have also gotten more goals from clearances. I don’t think we got our match ups right. May needs to play high on Walker. 

It's half time. Take a chill pill. If we don't turn up in the 3rd quarter then I'll be worried. And then there's always the fourth.

    Yep especially in our forward half.  Kozzie & Spargod rarely sighted.  Both having a mare need to get VERY busy in the second half.

    Once again, Lever doesn’t take the simple first option and butchers it.

    They're in his head today.

     

    Getting beat on the outside back line seems to be not gelling tonight. Bombing ball into fwd 50. Just need to reset

    Not enough our small forward pressure players:

    Spargo

    AnB

    Pickett

    Need a ton more from them.

    It's the game we need to lose to beat the doggies next week.

    I'll show myself the door now.

    Signing off for the night.

    May be the slump we need to have. Can't see us beating Doggies on current form. It's all good.

    Just remember how much this mob were up against Hawthorn some weeks ago and still ended up losing. Look at how Hawthorn have gone since too. It was level-ish at half time when we played Adelaide last season and we ended up flogging them (even though it wasn’t a real season). Let’s see how we adjust in the second half.

    They are cutting up our zone 

    Their footskills having been really good for a bottom 6 side. Not allowing us to set up our defense.

    If there's any consolation, we played like rubbish in the first half and are level...

    Were we too confident dropping Brown?

    The bombing inside 50 in good weather would actually suit him. He has a great reach. 
     

    I don't think may has been all that great today either. Dropped a sitter not manning up properly and not being as reliable today

    the problem is starting in the middle Our pressure just isn't there. We need to lift because we've allowed the Crows to play their game, they're now up and about and full of confidence. 

    We do like a challenge but if you keep tempting fate eventually you'll come undone.

    100% Some of their youngsters coming through are really good kicks. If the ball is coming through that quick no defence will stop it.

    Considering Adelaide's transition and pace, I think it was the right call. Brown's defensive deficiencies are no secret.

    • 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.
