    Fritter has been very quiet, really needed to kick that. So did TMac.

    We could really do with a forward right now.

    When Tom McDonald isn’t kicking goals we are a fraction of ourselves.

    He saved us so many times early in the year but his kicking has been way off.

    he and fritter just arent into it

     

    We’re winning playing poorly. 
     

    Need an efficient final qtr to set us apart. 

    It's very clear to me that this forward set up is not playing / performing to the level of most of the rest of the lines and needs a tweak.  Starting with BB to FF.  And FCS can someone pls learn to kick 40 meters or more and when they do learn, could they then learn how to kick accurately.

    Yeah but for a reason. Even a small reason. These bottom-feeders boo nonstop. 

    Don't know what they're complaining for, Jacko marked that anyway.

    Good kick Trac

    Why do they booh Hibberd?

    He left because the club designed and operated a coordinated drug injecting program that almost ruined his and many other careers..

    You think fans would have a bit of sympathy for him

    You’re referring to halfwits. I reckon most bummers fans would prefer the weapon to be coordinating the COVID jabs than Paul Kelly / Brendan Murphy

    Too many easy misses Harmes

    Our set shots are killing us....

    We'll gonna lose some important games because we can't kick 35-40 metre goals directly infront.


    [censored] me we can’t kick from any set shot and they kick one out of their [censored]. 
    They will win this game because we are playing like absolute idiots. 

     

    Our set shot goal kicking would surely have be close to the worst in the League.

    We aren't making a the top two or a PF on this rubbish.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      Hands up if you thought, like me, at half-time in yesterday’s game at TIO Traeger Park, Alice Springs that Melbourne’s disposal around the ground and, in particular, its kicking inaccuracy in front of the goals couldn’t get any worse. Well, it did. And what’s even more damning for the Melbourne Football Club is that the game against St Kilda and its resurgence from the bottomless pit of its miserable start to the season wasn’t just lost through poor conversion for goal but rather in the 15 minutes when the entire team went into a slumber and was mugged by the out-of-form Saints. Their six goals two behinds (one goal less than the Demons managed for the whole game) weaved a path of destruction from which they were unable to recover. Ross Lyon’s astute use of pressure to contain the situation once they had asserted their grip on the game, and Melbourne’s self-destructive wastefulness, assured that outcome. The old adage about the insanity of repeatedly doing something and expecting a different result, was out there. Two years ago, the score line in Melbourne’s loss to the Giants at this same ground was 5 goals 15 behinds - a ratio of one goal per four scoring shots - was perfectly replicated with yesterday’s 7 goals 21 behinds. 
      This has been going on for a while and opens up a number of questions. I’ll put forward a few that come to mind from this performance. The obvious first question is whether the club can find a suitable coach to instruct players on proper kicking techniques or is this a skill that can no longer be developed at this stage of the development of our playing group? Another concern is the team's ability to counter an opponent's dominance during a run on as exemplified by the Saints in the first quarter. Did the Demons underestimate their opponents, considering St Kilda's goals during this period were scored by relatively unknown forwards? Furthermore, given the modest attendance of 6,721 at TIO Traeger Park and the team's poor past performances at this venue, is it prudent to prioritize financial gain over potentially sacrificing valuable premiership points by relinquishing home ground advantage, notwithstanding the cultural significance of the team's connection to the Red Centre?

      After a disappointing loss in Alice Springs the Demons return to the MCG to take on the Magpies in the annual King's Birthday Big Freeze for MND game. Who comes in and who goes out?

      After kicking the first goal of the match the Demons were always playing catch up against the Saints in Alice Spring and could never make the most of their inside 50 entries to wrestle back the lead.

      It's Game Day and the Demons have traveled to Alice Springs to take on the Saints and they have a massive opportunity to build on the momentum of two big wins in a row and keep their finals hopes well and truly alive.
