Say what you like about Melksham (I’ve said a lot) at least he can kick the ball which is something we need.

Bowey looks like a 100 game veteran, didn’t see that happening so quickly.

    It’s disgraceful umpiring, but we know that’s 90% odds-on to happen over there, worth about 6 goals a game. The bigger question is why we’re slowing the game down at the wrong times. No run-past, no quick decision making to expose their lack of speed. They also beat us in contested ball that quarter. Don’t correct that, we don’t win, particularly not with their crowd umpire advantages. Simples.

    Great finish Pickett!!!

    Need Tracc and Fritter to get more involved

    Frisch doesn’t like playing in the rain, he gets wet. 
     

    Gawn needs to stand up big time and lead this team to a win. Been in a slump for too long.

    Frittatas opponent is wearing him like a glove.

    They would’ve identified him as our leading goal kicker and put some work into him.

    We are completely and utterly reliant on Tracc and Oliver. We are an absolute rubbish football team without them being switched on. It really concerns me.

    If either of them gets injured or suspended, we are a mess.

    Those two need to pull us out of the hole again because the rest of our midfield are pluggers

    Name a team that isn’t completely reliant on their two best players? It’s an odd thing to be annoyed about.

    Luke Jackson is close to BOG. This is close to the best game I've seen him play at AFL level.

    the second quarter was pretty poor. our players are too slow at moving the ball on. May needs to look for open players rather than kicking down the line all the time. we need to lift and lift badly. The umpiring has not been great, but what do you expect in eagle land. Too many of our players are not chasing and putting pressure on the eagles defense or midfield.

    The more I see of Bowey the more I'm impressed. He just does not waste the ball. 

    We just need to get back to what we did so well in that 1st quarter.

    One thing about Max.. he gets intimidated. Wouldn’t play him in the middle. Jackson a much better ruckman 

    Ridiculous comment.

     Clarry and Trac need to lift otherwise we're not winning this game

    To be fair, so does the rest of the midfield and forward line.

    Have notice that. Has had no space. Sheppard is a good player.

    His improvement has been great.

    He's about 6 inches shorter with wet hair.

    But we need to make sure he doesn’t get isolated in a one on one coz there is nothing of him and he won’t win many.

    Not sure I like Kossie and Spargo milking free kicks Selwood style. 

    No way Kozzie milked that - maybe Spargo.

    That’s some kick by Pickett.

    Yeo tackled him high, ended up on the ground beside him. Rolled on to him and held him down for a good fifteen seconds.

    It was a fantastic goal but geez that should have been fifty but the umpires are too gutless to call it.

    Yet the 100 gamer wastes it when he has to think.

    Needs to get a few tips from Cotchin. His hair hasn’t changed for 10 years

    Jackson and Bowey have been terrific.

    I wish a few others would follow their lead.

    • 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.
