Yet most weeks they call it every 5 seconds

    Terrible first quarter, and should be down by more, yet the only goal came from a bit of poor discipline.

    Yeah or incorrect disposal. No rewards for good tackles at all.

    Holding the ball clearly only going to be paid one way. We need to get the ball in quick and put it to grass, not in the air. They have got numbers behind the ball. Anything aerial will suit them. Birch is a liability at time. Loses here Head too often and often plays selfish football - I’ve never understood the hype.

    Demons should get the ball into the forward line quickly and try to get a goal or 2 over the back. Doesn't look much chance of getting a goal any other way.

    Noticed that myself.
    Get tackled, just lay down.
    Ball up.

    Lots of pressure.  Birch undisciplined, fumbly.  Zanker has potential but her hands are not sure which is a pity.  Hore has no leg speed and Crows defenders are all fast.  Bannan’s marking was great wasn’t it.  ‘Better forward of the ball’ says coach Mick.  Have to agree.

    Can't afford to lose maddie Gay. We need her physicality

    We've got good running power. I think we need to stop trying to kick through Adelaide's defence and start trying to run through it.

    Harris does not look 100% fit

    That's called the entire leg Sam.

    Adelaide keeping us in it, but we can't continue playing this way or we'll get smashed.

    • 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.
