    I felt it didn’t look like a Melbourne game the first qtr. We got a few flukey goals and a couple from first half turn overs, we didn’t get too many through our conventional method which was a worry.

     

    Our kicking for goal has been crap again - Dogs got a couple of lucky ones in comparison.

    Gawns shot looked a goal. We  must have had a crap camera angle.

    Petracca , Salem , Max , Brayshaw trying their hearts out.

    Why Does our defense all of a sudden look so fickle?

    Gee May is a liability, not flying for the ball, caught well behind, fumbling the ball. 

    That fumble in the first quarter was a shocker too. He doesn't look right at all.

    Why didn't we even see a review of that? It looked like a goal on the broadcast. Very confusing.

    I jumped off the couch when he kicked it looked like it went straight through. Gawny thought it was a goal.

    Fritsch has been poor the whole finals series. His kicking inside 50 has been shaky, keeps trying a kick running parallel to the goals and has missed it multiple times.

    Seriously? He kicked 6 goals in the first two games of the finals series. He was poor this quarter but to say that he's been poor the whole finals series is just wrong.

    The Melbourne of 2021 turns it around and regains control this quarter. But Grand Finals are different. It is definitely the Dogs' game to lose at this point.

    May carrying his injury? Whatever it is, he isn't himself.

    And we SHOULD have kicked 7 in the first.

    Can't let Bont mark uncontested, surely someone can get a fist on the ball

    Petty is our only tall defender, May looks injured and Lever has been really scrappy. Also, we don't have Smith as an emergency to cover May. TMc hasn't fired a shot up forward. If May can't play we need to get him off, move TMc forward and put JJ on the tag.

    Huge effort needed from here

    we got ambushed in that 2nd Quarter

    I feel sick right now. I'm scared to see what happens next, especially if the Dogs get the first goal in Q3.

    It’s all on the line this quarter 

    Have we got the balls for it ?

    How was the pie?

    But yes. Premiership quarter coming up. Carn Dees


    Need some Kozzie magic

     

    Our wings have been ordinary

    Our fwds are struggling

    Our defence is in complete disarray

    Our mids are missing

    Grounds balls are being won by the dogs

    Viney and harmes need to clamp someone.  TMac WTF?

    Goodwin has an opportunity to show the world what he made of. 

     

    Our leaders need to lead

    We missed some great opportunities in the first quarter too, that really burns.

     

    It should be easy to stop Bont. He is setting up space to run into to mark. Just need to block it.

    I feel like we are doing nothing to counter the Schache tag. What should happen is May should line Schache up and run right through him at the start of Q3. Make him think twice

    • 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.
