Merett 21 uncontested possessions. Shut him down.

But regroup & have a big 2nd half where hopefully we kick straight & roll home

Does anyone still think we shouldn't be playing BB in / around and out of the goal square?

Kozzie at the drop front and square.

Yes. BB would be handy tonight. Would be leading to the right spaces and competing on the dump kick

    Where McDonald? Fritsch? Pickett? ANB?

    Our forwards are completely non existent for 2nd week in a row. 

     

    Always outnumbered. The system or the execution is wrong.

    Sometimes footy is too simple for all the coaches and their ‘game plans’ in the FD to figure out.

    The heat on Oliver in this thread is quite unexpected. 

    3rd best on ground for us after May and Langdon IMO.

    Goodwin will blame our “connection up forward” , but it makes it much harder for the ball carrier when there’s barely a tall target to kick to. BB surely has to come in next week

    Anyone else think that goal kicked by Jones was already in the front row when his boot connected? What a joke to show a blurred ball on the replay as apposed to the real time. Blatant effing cheating.

    I fully realise this could be our only chance for a tilt this for the next sixty years but it’s fascinating to hear the commentators referring to Luke Jackson ‘as the big man’

     

    To quote Redgum

     

    I was only nineteen

    Clayton needs to get his head out of the clouds and mind on the job. Poor decisions costing us. Hoping he can turn it on for the second half

    We're kicking to a designated spot as if we had three talls. 

    We need to hit up some individual targets.

    It is though. Look at the UP stats.

    I was thinking this as well, unfortunately the goal umpire isnt going to pay anything against essendon in front of their cheer squad and then its hard to overturn the goal umpires call from there.

    God it’s a trial watching this. 

    Certainly not as much fun as it was earlier in the season.

    I think folks struggle when he tries to draw 2 tacklers and free up a teammate with a hand pass. His handball to Harmes got us a goal out of it, but when he doesn’t nail it everyone’s on his case.

    Jones needs a game at Casey

    it's just stupid to not play BB

    I get he might take 2-3 games to gel but give him a block of 4 games to be involved in our system

    • 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.
