    Umpires need a crowd baying for blood to pay a HTB apparently.

    8 metre kick paid a mark. To them of course.

    That's being generous! I thought it was about 40cm. What a joke.

    We are so unclean by hand and foot. 

    As we've seen many times opposition looks better but don't get away. Will turn I reckon we've done it often

    The crowd is too small for Petracca which is why he only has his 9 touches to half time.


    They’re playing better footy. Positive is we’re still very close due to their inaccuracy. Need to be tighter with ground balls and tidy up the kick before the entry into 50. Can’t bang it long due to their spare behind the ball.

    Inside 50 efficiency - them = 51.9%, us = 25.9%.

    We need a proper forwards coach, instead of Stafford doubling up his duties.

    Well, we're not playing well and certainly have a lot of improvement left in us for the second half. In that context we're doing well to be within 4 points.

    I don’t understand the holding the ball rule. Hawkins took on 2 players and got caught red handed.

    Its the one rule the AFL need to fix as there’s far too much interpretation based on context and player involved.

    Outplayed, insufficient first options, turnovers. Remarkable that we’re so close on the scoreboard.

    • 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.
