Can’t see us coming back from this. 
Disappointing display. We look flat, we can’t win the footy at ground level or in packs or in the air. They’re all over us. 

 

Making a pretty slow and predictable team look very good. We are very flakey against top 4 sides and it's a major concern. Game over. 


Cats +13 in clearances. We’ve been beaten at the source tonight and then they’ve setup better structurally too.

Even if we get up from here, there’s a lot to learn from tonight. Need to improve come finals time.

    Gee we never go near the corridor. Slow boring play 

     

    Well we always have learnings ! WTFTM


    Too many non-contributors, they are cutting us up big time, we have no time or space with the ball.

    We have been massively outplayed this quarter so far.

    Kick a couple to close out the quarter and we might pinch it

    Lot of learnings from this game


    They are all over us

    Throw, We have so many players down. Not shattered if we lose this at that dump of a narrow ground

    We knew it was narrow and even the commentators knew at the start that Geelong would switch it and use the corridor.

    I'm grinding my teeth every time we leave them loose on the far side and then we just kick down the line. 

    It's so stupid and predictable and yet we have not adjusted.

    The cats are not playing that well, they're just using the ground so much better.

    I do think Salem looks slow

    We’re playing with heavy legs and the fumbles. Very few spills have gone our way. The width of the ground is affecting us. We can’t use the breakaway width, the boundary keeps spoiling it. Feels like one of those nights the bounce of the ball has had a huge impact.

    • 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.
