Looks like they have work experience kids directing tonight, if only they would let them do the commentary.

    Surely with JVRs competitiveness both in the air and on the deck he is a logical replacement for Weid next week.

    I think you may well be  right, but whatever, Sam is in OUR team tonight and bagging him here really achieves nothing.  C'mon Sam, kick a bag in the second half.

    It all comes down to 'the want' and imposing yourself into a game regardless of conditions LN.

    Hopefully he can turn it around in the second half and contribute.

    Weirdly, reckon his game is opposite to  last week... Go lots of reward for less effort last week, this week he's having a crack, going hard in packs, laying tackles, but not getting near the pill.

    Camera work is as bad as the playing surface and the umpiring .... can we please see a bit of perspective and show is where the ball is headed.

    THIS ⬆️ !!!!

    Really looking forward to our opportunity to make sure we don't replicate our earlier meeting this year. The Dockers will take hope from that. Scores were very similar.

    I want us to crush that hope.

    Very quickly.

    Very good quarter and half but gee that last Walters goal was absolute p*** and I'm not happy with it. Goals are at a premium in this game and you can see this because even though we are pressuring like crazy up forward the looks at goal aren't easy to get. 1 entry for the Dockers and they kick a goal. It will give them something as they go in for half time.

    This is the test now, as far as I'm concerned the game starts again 0-0. We've blown these leads too many times this year and loading or not we need to take this one as a psychological boost.

    Our small forwards are working tirelessly. Oliver is being sat on by Aish, but he does tend to have great second halves so expecting something similar. Aish will have his work cut out. Trac hasn't been bad but just want to see a little more polish from him. One of his trademark big time goals would be handy. Viney killing it, just loves this kind of weather.

    Must come out firing in this second half.

    Poor one on one work from Lever when the dump kick came in.  Doing ok but still out of sorts.

    Good first half. We controlled the game and probably should’ve got a few more goals tbh. The real test is not fading away in the second half as we’ve been doing this year. Time to run our four quarters and kick off the run for another premiership.

    Yep I miss being with the Demon Army tonight. One kinda gets used to being surrounded by REAL fans. 
    I’d plumb forgotten how mean-spirited DL can be during a match. Shameful. 

    Enjoy, WCW, another comprehensive victory coming up.  


    Their pace and space killed us last time - that Colyer is crazy quick. We seem better organised tonight. Good opportunity for a few players to play 4 quarters (Fritter 👀)

    Fingers crossed that Weideman stands up in the second half and clunks a couple of goals

    Great mark Jake

    Just had a look at the radar and looks like a shower coming through which can’t hurt.

    • 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?

    • POSTGAME: St. Kilda

      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.
