Game over. Umpiring is a [censored] disgrace, but we missed our opportunities.

We desperately need to improve our goal kicking accuracy. We never kick more goals than points and it’s directly costing us games now.


FMD.  Salem held without ball - no free - goal to Dogs who just cannot miss

Our forward disposal is just disgraceful.  Thanks Goodwin Williams and Yze 

We will win this.

    We look awful. Viney Langdon Harmes Salem Spargo ANB giving us absolutely nothing. 
    Once again relying on too few to do too much.

    great we give away another goal in the last minute - great defensive football

    they have 10 scoring shots to our 9 and lead by 19 - brilliant. Gotta love our forward coach.

    tough conditions, but we are nowhere

    Not a chance in hell we get close to winning the flag 

    we don't have enough outside class

    Been saying it for years 

    Not to mention our forward line is trash

    Time to start injuring them to compensate for the unfair umpiring.

    Move onto next week. We cannot win this.

    Typical shizen goal kicking and the umps have 100k on the doggies

    Yep. All over. Disgraceful umpiring, rubbish football. Not within a paddock of finals-worthy intent.

    How exactly?


    Don't believe the stats our mids are getting smashed, our forwards are woeful.

    There is no question which team has dealt with the conditions better and the best team overall.

    The scoreboard absolutely reflects that.

    Umpiring not good but not the difference.

    We will see what our players are made of after half time.

    When TMac is quiet we struggle big time. But the umpiring and missing 3 sitters we coud be still in the game.

    our goal kicking is our downfall unfortunately we lack skillful kicks like Breust for Hawks

    First off our kicking for goal is what’s made us be 21 points down. BUT FAIR BLOODY DINKUM THE UMPIRES MIGHT AS WELL BE WEARING BULLDOGS UNIFORMS. THEY ARE THROWING, THEY ARE BEING TACKLED BUT DON’T DISPOSE OF IT, THEY ARE BEING GIVEN AN ARMCHAIR RIDE THIS ENTIRE MATCH. Chalk at least two goals against the umps. 

    On our side, we have to take our chances. 0.2 from Brown isn’t only disappointing, it’s deflating. Not just that he misses but that they are supremely gettable kicks, you would expect ANY AFL player to kick it let alone a FF who’s job it is to do exactly that. We actually had quite a bit of territory and decent opportunities but yet again butchered them. We have regressed back to what we did most of last year. 

    Worst part is, I’m still in hotel quarantine after watching us have they great run earlier this year and I’m genuinely wondering whether it’s impossible for Melbourne to be a decent team while I’m in the country.

    Seriously if BBB doesn’t kick a match winning bag in the second half he needs to be dropped.  Paid the big bucks and hasn’t looked remotely like kicking either of those set shots.  
    Those misses are just totally and momentum killing

    • 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.
