NON-MFC: Round 8, 2022

Some holes appearing in the Swans game. Really struggling to score, and too easy for opposition to rebound out of their forward 50. They need a couple of small defensive forwards to help keep the ball down their end.

I think Casboult has been outstanding for the Suns. His kicking might still not be great, but he keeps on presenting and is such a good mark.

    Problem is they get right on the edge about to explode and be raided again by Victorian clubs.

    That's fixable though, Brisbane were in the same boat not so long ago, winning games really helps with retention. 

    I would imagine the AFL will move heaven and earth to get Clarko to the Suns, if he can convince a couple of quality veterans to go there and retain their out of contract kids, i'd nearly back them to push for finals in 2023

    Nice touch for the players to acknowledge the eight supporters that travelled down from Surfers.

    That is a very good win by the suns. 

    Now we just have to win tomorrow and we will be 3 games clear ahead of sydney. 

    Collingwood fall out of the 8 

    Now just need the hawks to put more misery on the bummers and it will be a good day.

    I’m stuck on two lines of thought right now. 
     

    Tigers 2018 preliminary loss.

    Barring major injuries were playing in another GF.

    Swans  having a forward line revolving around Franklin is starting to look like a mill stone around their neck.

    Isaac Rankine taunting an opponent as he got a free kick at defensive 50, what a stupid [censored]. Try running both ways for a change you over hyped nobody!

    You cant count a Bloke walking his dog past the ground that stops to sniff a post as part of the crowd Rab!

    Pruess only played 22 games. Good to see him play solid footy. Looks like a 100 gamer already

    One thing that I really noticed in the Port win was their kicking to a leading forward inside 50. I think they had nearly 20 inside 50 marks. It's something that Melbourne has really lost. We kick long to à big pack and rely on Ben browns reach. Would love to see us delivering to a leading forward out in front. I don't think it's our forwards. All of our forwards are capable of a strong lead. I watch and they just hold back and wait for the long bomb. Probably why our forwards aren't kicking bags atm. Thoughts? 

    All our taller forwards can mark and kick but their leading patterns are all [censored] about at the moment. 
    Keeping something up our sleeves for finals?🙄

    Dew was a long time assistant at Sydney.  Probably proves that Longmire hasn't changed much over the years since Dew left.

    Giants just not working hard enough. Whitfield with 7 touches? Create run and overlap and they should win easily.

    I excluded him from my head count Picket. Incidentally his dog has a coterie membership at Hawthorn.

    Yeh i agree they looked better earlier in the season taking multiple avenues to goal.   Become a bit predictable when Buddy's in.

    That free kick to Hogan was ridiculous. No contact, or minimal at best.

    Why don't the commentators call it?

    MRP peer pressure

    Aside from the form of Cameron i don't really see much change in either team vs last season's general output 🤷‍♂️

    Danger starting to look his age.
    32 and 290 games taking its toll. Still a gun but lost some explosiveness

    • 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.
