Well to Carlton’s credit they have played much better than us. Want it more. Great tackling 

Backline embarrassingly bad.

    This new crackdown is such BS. You have to be able to express annoyance once it’s not at the ump. Trac just yelled at the sky. The AFL can be so embarrassing and amateur sometimes. 

    How did the umpire know Trac wasn’t angry at himself.

    Constantly negative? Have a read of this thread.
    He is an MFC champ. Show him some respect and don’t question whether he is with us or against us. 

    My favourite number is 3 for a reason but I will call out his [censored] negativity when I want to. It's not a one off.

    All he has to do is pump up the other team instead. He has been better since we kicked 5 in a row.

    Carlton player expressed disgust at the decision for the push in the back against Viney. No 50. Not sure why.

    Not wearing red and blue. Yep, gonna be us versus everybody else this year.

    One of our best tonight, and one of the few whose effort has been somewhere near acceptable levels.

    Melb 12.7-79

    Carl 15.7-97

     

    For those without tv access.

    This has been "one of those games" when every bounce of the ball favored the other side, and early season fumbles abounded.

    Carltons new midfield looks improved and quite fast compared to us, but that always appears the case when you have first possession.

    Not sure this is a result to worry about too much.

    Think this one is against Peanut McDonald and not Tracc.

    8 50 meter penalties probably the difference.

    That and 80% of the team playing at 20% of max effort for most of the game.

    • 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.
