    we should not be relying on free kick to win this, we need to rely on our field kicking, our kicking is pretty poor. The team is putting in the hard yards around the ground but then turning it over. we need to stop that switch, quite a few times they switch to langdons wing they get a kick at goal. Where are out players on that side of the ground where is their accountability. We need to strong last quarter to show then who is the better team. we have a few players who are down who need to lift, ANB is certainly one.

     

    Confident?

    Not really. The Pies have their tails up and we looked under serious pressure for pretty much that whole quarter. 

    But I'm holding hope that they spent all their tickets in that quarter, and rode their luck. It has to run out, right?

    WE HAVE TO MAKE THE MOST OF OUR OPPORTUNITIES INSIDE 50!!!!

    Momentum has turned big time. Pies made up their tackle deficit in one quarter. Their pressure is immense and we are crumbling. 


    I'm getting really sick of our players stopping, trying to take on 2 tacklers, then handballing over their heads. Collingwood's pressure is too good for this and we are turning it over to their runners too many times. ANB in particular is driving me nuts.

    Also Max, and BBB should be allowing midfielders to pick it up off the ground. 

    And if I see the Pies get 1 more mark  within 20 metres of goal I will freak out. 

    Having said all that I still reckon we are the better side at this point. 

    Nibbler is garbage. Everytime we try and transition our way through he feels the need to completely stop in his own tracks and take the tackler on. 

    So infuriating

    Pretty sure Nibbler has a bit of calf soreness.  Harmes time

    Yes ANB is seriously [censored]. Fumbles is his new nickname. Of turnover king !!!

    Maxy please stop kicking mate

    Stop kicking to pockets, open the forward line up, Jesus we are predictable.


    We are in trouble here. We won’t win this in a close one. Pies are full of confidence. We are playing what can only be described as brain dead football. 

    If you were a neutral you'd say Collingwood are poised to pinch this. We need to raise our game to change the narrative.

    Can't remember Viney's last touch.

    Double the inside 50s yet only a goal up. 

    Get it in quick and our defence is caught napping, They are always on the move.

    We need to be willing to risk a few things this last quarter. Our system is seemingly choking our instinct atm, we have very little dare.


    Answer the challenge Dees

    Has Quanore been on Kozzie most of the night?  If so he's probably had the better of him so far

    Yes I think we need one set of fresh legs 

    This why I never post that we will smash a side.

    Demons just need to take a few of our opportunities and we will be okay!


    We are slow and stodgy. We need to lift big time otherwise we lose this game

    We never win these games.

     

    .....but would love it to stop tonight.

    We are toast I think, pies evened out the contest which was our advantage, now they getting more supply they over run us

     

    Anb and others are forcing a stoppage by receiving the tackle. Creates lots of stoppages and clearances 

    But not using it well at all

    • 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.
