We played [censored] football. Too many passengers. Dreadful disposal. Outnumbered too often.

Also we gave them a couple of Junk times so if that is Geelong's best on their own dungheap, I don't fear them on the G in September.

    We were run ragged.  Mid field over run.  Talls ineffective.

    Smashed in the clearances. maybe better with Weid and Mitch rucking. Gawn and Jackson more or less useless.

    Loading 😉 Every loss can be blamed on loading 😉

    Geelong made us look slow.....

    That wasn’t Geelong, it was the game plan and the narrow ground. It’s not rocket science why they make finals every year and then bomb out.

    I guess only tie will tell but maybe it actually is this "loading" stuff.  It coincided with the time of our slump last year.  I realise the whole season training schedule has been set back by 4 weeks due to our success last year, so maybe things will improve at the business end..

    Interesting Selwood said they feel like they were running on top of the ground. Sounds like they’ve timed their loading well. Better than us, anyway…

    They won’t smash us like that in the midfield again so not going to panic. But we’ve got some work to do if that’s our strongest team.

    Some players were a bit slow to the ball and we did not move the ball with enough purpose. If we play like that next week, Port will beat us.

    • 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.

      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.
