What’s worse? The umpires, our forwardline or our inability to play without May?

Doing an Amber in the bed when we get out to a 25-30 point lead.

    Our supporters barely make any noise. Hasn't all year.


    For a team that prides itself on its contested ball we are doing a lot of ball watching. Bowey twice has watched a swans player claim a mark that was clearly touched yet no tackle laid. General lack of intensity and poor by hand.

    Great idea dropping the Weed, this is a joke.

    definitely feels like we are outnumbered here tonight

    Tackles 26 - 44

    Not enough pressure

    Missing May badly, not just in what he does, but in how the backline sets up. He's the anchor point, around which all the others play. Not helped by Salem being rusty and Thomlinson being reminded that it's a bit of a step up from the VFL.

    As for up the other end ... Van Royen can't develop quickly enough. 

    Our forward line and movement into forward 50m is really bad.

    Better off playing 16 men than the Brown Brothers thus far,


    Midfield not clean. Stepped up the pressure on Jackson and he hasn’t handled it well at all.  Salem looks out of it.

    This is really interesting now. We get to see if we are up for the fight.

    Being outworked all over the ground, not sure if the Swans can maintain that sort of effort. geez we are struggling to organise without May back there

     


    Petracca and Oliver well down. All disposals mainly junk.

    They will. They finish strong. 

    The bye really couldn't come soon enough.

    So many of the teams we've played thus far have thrown absolutely everything at us. Almost every game has been a grind. We just look so tired.

    It's really quite concerning how we look though. Don't think we win tonight. Sydney look just as Freo did.

    Seriously I love how every team is suddenly made up of aerial superstars whenever they play us. Sydney hasn't looked this good all year.

    • 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.
