Some very soft frees being paid

Umpires have gifted Carltank 4 goals but this looks like Dees in 1971

    There's going to be a lot of 50m penalties if thats the threshold

    That’s the rules

    Learn and stop doing it. It’s obvious they’re hot so why keep talking? 
     

    The issue is we are getting smashed in the middle.

    How much of a lead are we giving them?

    The frees were there: it is more our arrogance and I’ll discipline l reckon. I hope it is not indicative of the rest of the year…

    Smith running into Lever is exactly why I cannot with him.

    It is ridiculously hot in here. 


    Finally Fritta hits the scoreboard.
    There's 9 minutes left in 2Q, so that's about 26-27 goals.

    Joel Smith has talent and a potential role but it’s got to be being used in space and on smaller opponents. He has elite athleticism and movement.

    He doesn’t have any idea how to use his body to shift bigger forwards who can out reach him.

    As a 7th defender who does a bit of everything he’s interesting. As a full back he’s hopeless 

    Hate the high Viney tackle ! the pinnacle of [censored] umpiring player dives forward into what can u do? It’s not dangerous! Yet they let it go when he got ridden in the back in the first 😡 

     

    We are thinking like Hollywood Millionares pity we are playing like Paupers

    • 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?

    • POSTGAME: St. Kilda

      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.
