Did I miss some very obtuse attempt at irony, or are you really an absolute <person who tosses things>?

    To be honest all of our disposal, decision making, and forward craft skills have been atrocious tonight'

    Dogggas definitely still injured

    Hasnt leapt at it all night


    I absolutely loathe this ground. It’s the worst football ground in the AFL. I’d love to know how many throw ins there are per game.

    Bear in mind this is approximately the time last year where we had a flat couple of weeks (vs Hawks and the loss to the dogs) that is widely reputed to have been due to our training loads. The flatness we are showing here is almost certainly for the same reasons. 

    That’s what it looks like. Slow off the mark tonight

    Geelong just seemed to be working harder than us. Better running contest to contest and have more numbers at the drop of the ball. Also helps they're winning clearances. Are we loading again?

    We could pinch it but have to up our game around the contest. Been very sloppy all game, our touch seems a little off.

    Gawn battling on but looks very under done.  Not sure why we dont just rest him at CHF from here and push all in on Dogga on the ball!!

    Happy if we just take it on and play fast and loose by 5 than play conservative and lose by 2-3. We really shouldn't be this close

    Cmon we’re better than than that. 


    It all comes down to the midfield. If Trac, Oliver, Viney and Gawn can’t run over the top here, the game is done.

    This can either go two ways. We lie over and this game is 6+ loss. Or we give it a crack and take on the game and we can steal it. 
     

    First 2 mins will tell all. If the Cats kick the first , game over.

    Smalls need to lift. Kozzie and Spargo fire up please. We don’t deserve it but we could pinch this.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      Hands up if you thought, like me, at half-time in yesterday’s game at TIO Traeger Park, Alice Springs that Melbourne’s disposal around the ground and, in particular, its kicking inaccuracy in front of the goals couldn’t get any worse. Well, it did. And what’s even more damning for the Melbourne Football Club is that the game against St Kilda and its resurgence from the bottomless pit of its miserable start to the season wasn’t just lost through poor conversion for goal but rather in the 15 minutes when the entire team went into a slumber and was mugged by the out-of-form Saints. Their six goals two behinds (one goal less than the Demons managed for the whole game) weaved a path of destruction from which they were unable to recover. Ross Lyon’s astute use of pressure to contain the situation once they had asserted their grip on the game, and Melbourne’s self-destructive wastefulness, assured that outcome. The old adage about the insanity of repeatedly doing something and expecting a different result, was out there. Two years ago, the score line in Melbourne’s loss to the Giants at this same ground was 5 goals 15 behinds - a ratio of one goal per four scoring shots - was perfectly replicated with yesterday’s 7 goals 21 behinds. 
      This has been going on for a while and opens up a number of questions. I’ll put forward a few that come to mind from this performance. The obvious first question is whether the club can find a suitable coach to instruct players on proper kicking techniques or is this a skill that can no longer be developed at this stage of the development of our playing group? Another concern is the team's ability to counter an opponent's dominance during a run on as exemplified by the Saints in the first quarter. Did the Demons underestimate their opponents, considering St Kilda's goals during this period were scored by relatively unknown forwards? Furthermore, given the modest attendance of 6,721 at TIO Traeger Park and the team's poor past performances at this venue, is it prudent to prioritize financial gain over potentially sacrificing valuable premiership points by relinquishing home ground advantage, notwithstanding the cultural significance of the team's connection to the Red Centre?

      After a disappointing loss in Alice Springs the Demons return to the MCG to take on the Magpies in the annual King's Birthday Big Freeze for MND game. Who comes in and who goes out?

      After kicking the first goal of the match the Demons were always playing catch up against the Saints in Alice Spring and could never make the most of their inside 50 entries to wrestle back the lead.
