Boy oh boy do they want the hard ball more than us. They’re shepherding, getting in front, making smart blocks….all the things you do in a wet game to create the advantage.

5 scoring shots each but don't convert & they do.

2 goals out of their backsides         typical  we cannot hit a barn door scoring

it’s wet AF - one up, one down waiting for the spoil, and if we are playing the ‘hammer it forwards from the ballup’ game can you please put a red and blue jumper 15-25m in front of the contest?

The chances were there early, didn't get them. That's enough to cost you in a dry game. Even worse in the wet.

I know i rabbit about the maggots but seven to two on a night like this is fourteen to four.

Cheets cheets and cheets.

Dogs half backs controlling the game. Pushing up and thrusting it back inside their 50. Spargo and Pickett need to lock them down if we’re any chance tonight.

Half forward line getting thrashed need to lift

But our mids have to run with the ball deeper and deliver to give our forwards a chance. Just bombing and hoping from forward of wing at the moment. 


My God the umpires love the Dogs. 
Lever virtually  tackled round the head going for a mark - play on!

Dogs get touched free kick.

Dog just drop ball nothing!

Frees 8-2 joke on a wet night 

Max Gawn has NO  IDEA AND CAN GOODY PLEASE PUT A DEFENSIVE PLAYER ON THE FUGGIN DWARF DANIELS

Worth putting Kozzie to play a run with on Daniels?  He's running hot and setting up so many plays as per usual.  Ideal conditions for him but Kozzie might be able to kurb the damage

Brown's set shots have been a worry lately. When he was at North he would've nailed that set shot 100/100.

Has he shortened his run-up or something?  He looks so much more unsteady prior to kicking.

The more a player spins or wiggles the ball around while walking in for a set shot, the more likely they'll miss. I knew BBB would miss just from that!!

BB and Kozzi's misses were just terrible misses 

 kozzie over rated at present but shows promise in next few years

yeah and umpires on side of course

Kick it to or in the vicinity of Kozzie. Only one who looks dangerous atm.


Not surprised. Think we have more capacity to lift than them. They got lucky with some of their goals.
Get the handball receives cleaner and then we will make space for transition. 
Gawn also needs to play the percentages, to many hit outs or punches went straight to them. 
Looking forward to a big second quarter. 

What is wrong with Viney? Just loses himself in every contest.

  • 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.
