OLIVER GET INVOLVED!!!!FFS, THIS IS THE 2ND WEEK IN A ROW HE HAS PLAYED LIKE A VFL 2NDS PLAYER IN THE FIRST HALF.

 

FRISTCH HIT A BLOODY TARGET GOING INSIDE 50! JACKSON YOU TOO. FFS.

TERRRRRRRRIBLE QUARTER!!!

Try the decaf?

 

So many attempts to hit up short targets, and shallow ones, coming inside 50 into a crowded zone.

Need to use the short ground and get it deep to the front of the goal square more often to mix things up, put pressure on the defenders and give the talls are fair chance to mark/smalls to crumb.

The short stuff is too often, too predictable and in such a crowded forward line, spoiled too often.

Go longer.  And this is where BB would have been slightly harder to defend had he been instructed to play deep IMHO vs the Weid whose DNA sees him more likely to play higher and on the lead.

Jackson - 6 marks in a quarter of footy. Nice.

don't care. turned it over going inside 50m multiple times. ****house

 

The pies are bringing us to their level. The challenge now is to get it back on our terms.

Oliver needs to lift. In a quarter where we had 113 disposals for the quarter,  he only had 3.

Oliver was far from our only problem that quarter.

Jackson, ANB, Jordan and May good so far.

Weeds hasn't got anywhere near the ball.

Oliver quiet.

Our first quarters have been so often underwhelming. We're ahead. Confident we'll smash them.

well, OK.

Oliver 3 touches. Needs to get on his bike. 

Clarrie got on his bike!!!



To Collingwoods credit they are doing exactly the right thing. Not letting us move the ball cleanly and blocking the outlet on the Langdon wing. Well done to them. 

How does Kozzi do what he does and then drop a chest mark?? Absolute sitter inside 50

 

Block on Petty not paid

  • 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.
