Harmes gave them momentum. 

Seriously dumb footballer. He literally had to kick it in front of Melksham and completely missed him by 20m.

By 20 m more like 50 he just lacks composure in critical times.

Really should have gone to Spargo

    And throw a punch.

    It would be better towards the opposition though.

    Evidence as to why Harmes is my least favourite player. 

     

    Has too man brain fades sadly. Can be costly

    Still worth his place though, hopefully he picks up form again

    Harmes is having a stinker so send him to run with smith now I reckon. 
     

    i reckon the dogs are playing really well tonight so if we beat them it should be seen as a good sign of a return to form.

    C'mon Demons big 2nd half

    Weid was good in the 1st but went missing in the 2nd. Needs a big 2nd half

    It's a tough call bw who is Better....Lever or Petty.

     

    Petty is better one on one. Lever is better at reading the play. Both are elite defenders. 
    Petty will be an AA defender soon.

    Lots of positives, but Salem still a concern.

    Great to Sparrow having a decent game, he was pretty ropey last week.

    I agree.  Salem has completely lost confidence. Three weeks in a row.

    This game will come down to fitness. If we get it out to 30pts I’d expect it to be shutdown, but that is unlikely. 
     

    Dogs will come out revved up.
     

     

    As we chalked up at 27 point lead we were on our way to winning another clearance out the middle and a tiny bit of Hollywood crept in as Trac handballed to a marked Clarry and then somehow the Dogs got a quick goal. Another instance Gus takes a brilliant saving mark and scuffs his short pass. And then we get the howler of a Harmes kick. I felt the Dogs got back those last two because of our errors.

    It's a shoot out, we don't want one but that's what it is. We're doing OK but the Dogs have shown they can score and score quickly, we have some work to do to get this done and we have got to find another way to score other than centre clearance and we need more sustained periods on top.Must tighten up through the corridor in transition defending, their quick chaining through the middle is getting some results.

    Hopefully we start the 3rd with a sustained period locking the ball in our 50 then score a cheeky goal.

    it been a pretty good game so far, we have played some good football, but been a bit lax at time. I think we need to do more about when the opposition kicks in. we do not put pressure on the player kicking in we let them run and bounce the ball and gain another 40 meters. by that time they are kicking over our players heads. I wonder if harmes was trying to kick the goal rather than pass it. we are doing pretty well, time to come out and do what we do in the second half kick away, add some percentage so that we can take back top spot

    Need a big third quarter. Come on guys grannie repeat. 

    I think we play better at Marvel than the MCG. Salem looks like he’s struggling with what is role is at the moment.

    i do wish sparrow and Jordan would move the ball on quickly after taking a mark. they seem to ignore short passes that look a certaintly and go down the line to a contest.we play some of our best footy when we move the ball fast.

    We are seeing a different game tonight. Faster ball movement  creates scoring opportunities but we are being exposed a lot on the turnover. 

    .. as are the Bulldogs

    Let's see a 3rd qrt replay please.

    Seriously what has Harmes done tonight?

    Weid not sighted that quarter. 

    But it was a good quarter. Just can't let the dogs back in it.

    So it's only 1/2 time and we have already outscored last nights pathetic score. 

    Gee doesn't Fritta love playing against the dogs.

    No surprise Dogs leading the free kicks. Both quarters we let them in for late goals.

    Have we ever played them when they don’t get at least double our frees?

    • 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.
