    Scores?

    That half was more of a stinking pile of sh*t than The Phantom Menace.

    Plus May. The other point that with May as the anchor, the other players back there have a reference point and can play and structure up accordingly - and do so week after week so they hone their systems. None of that on display today.

    First time ever i have been happy that nobody bother to post scores in Game-Day threads.

    Sounds like the umps are loving their new 50 m penalty power too.

    I legit didn't know Jack Martin was playing until the last 20seconds. Glad he refused to meet with us.

    It's a practice match. The scum are playing out of their skins and we are going through the paces.

    Has no relevance to the real stuff.

    Yep and we somehow lost to Adelaide last year when he was out injured.

    A 50 paid against Tomlinson for shaking his head and putting his hands on his knees.

    Why scrap them? They are good changes.  Speed the game up and stop backchatting the umpires

    The umpiring has been deplorable. The only thing that's been worse is our skill level. Glad we had this game now. Been too good for too long. Stop drinking their bathwater. Hunt has made sure he won't get a game for a long time has had an absolute stinker. Smith and Baker are not up to it.

    Say what you want about him (and I do), Fritsch is a man who knows how to kick sausage rolls.

    One team thinks it's playing in the Grand Final. Not concerned at all if fact we will end up winning this. 

    Carlton are having a go and we are not even bothering to match them Lazy football. It is only a practice match so is forgivable but they want to get their heads cleared up before the 1st round.

    It was a rubbish half aside from the first 5 or so minutes.

    It's like we came out and gave half a damn for the first 5 minutes to see if Carlton would roll over and let us have our way with them. When it became clear they are treating this match like the final audition for the part of young Anakin (keeping the theme of the thread), the boys just noped out of it and have been jogging ever since.

    The Phantom Menace is actually great. Recommend giving it another shot.

    Joel Smith on the other hand...

    Oh [censored] yeah.... tomlinson got done for shaking his head. 

    Can you imagine if that cost you a goal in a final.

    Pre game I thought Carlton’s outs were more influential than ours.

    However all are outs are from our backline whereas their stars are spread across the 3  units.

    That and we’re disinterested and comfortable where we sit as a side at the moment, while they’re going hell for leather to impress Voss (and they look impressive in fairness to them)

    Its also part of the afl plan to build up blues to get a big crowd and huge expectations.

    5 premiership backmen not playing. Hollywood football aside, let’s get get a little bit of perspective. 

    What's the definition of umpire abuse?   Clearly "youre a fckn [censored]" is abuse but is it not ok to say that decision was crap anymore?

    • NON-MFC: Round 15

      As the Demons head into their Bye Round, it's time to turn our attention to the other matches being played. Which teams are you tipping this week? And which results would be most favourable for the Demons if we can manage to turn our season around? Follow all the non-Melbourne games here and join the conversation as the ladder continues to take shape.

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
