That was generally a good first quarter but here's my question: can someone please sort out Charlie Cameron?

    Please put a man on Rich.... he creates top much of their play and reads the ball too well to be left as a spare

    Joel Smith has dead set lost the plot.

    Would it actually hurt him to ****ibg stand next to Cameron!?

    According to the commentators Salem had Cameron for those goals and Smith has been shifted on to him after the third.

    Sort out the defence and we've got this. Commentators saying Salem had to be switched off Cameron

    A jittery first quarter from a few. Hope we settle.......and for Lever to not give up the ball.

    Keep going Dees

    We are in front, showing up the Lions defence. Getting beaten around the stoppages, and groundball in defensive 50 is a huge worry so far. Great to see Bowey step in for last 5 mins at ground level. Cover Cameron, we win.

    Need to start getting on top in clearances. And we need to start controlling the ground ball in defense because when it hits the deck we are all at sea.

    Hibbo in for Smith

    Having one of those moments you know where you ask yourself why why do I put myself through this. 

    all good now. Just needed a minute.

    That was frenetic.

    Gave up some silly goals though.

    I hope Tmac starts to get going. Cant afford him to have another poor game.

    Gee it made a difference when Oliver got going.

    Joel Smith was standing next to him just before the ball was bounced.

    Smith has zero football IQ and it's showing.

    Should have played Hibberd.

    Salem isn’t a lock down defender, so I agree with this.

    Not a chance in hell. Salem is there to make the play not take the best forward. It was Smith who went to him at the first bounce.

    Think Smith is getting blamed for others errors

    • 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.
