Really interesting watching this. Hard to tell how we are doing because the Saints are seriously struggling. Ross Lyon has a huge task ahead.

Our general game play, positional strengths and all-ground defence is looking good. Hitting targets across the ground looking good. Our choosing and hitting targets who are 25 - 40 metres out continues to be a work in progress. A bit disappointing.

Chandler, Hunter and McVee very, very  impressive. 

Grundy looking rusty. I am really wanting to see JVR, but TMac and Brown doing everything right.

    Kicking skills.  Will be our most exploited weakness yet again in 2023.

    May has 3 weeks to stop [censored] himself under high kicks. That was awful.

    Pickett’s ball use has been poor. I get he’s keen to impress but he has to take better options and not try to reinvent the wheel

    Lack of two way running now is costing us. I am giving them a break because it’s 900 degrees.

    A few real howlers in the past 3 mins going into half forward from people like Kozzie, Chandler and others.

    If you aren’t seeing May drop his head and spill marks when going back with the flight way too often then you aren’t watching close enough 

     

    Good to see we changed up our forward entries, we go to left pocket....oh wait

    Ground announcing saying 5Q’s to go. That would mean a full game for the Casey lads

    The old 'let's stop playing after we're comfortably ahead' never fails to disappoint! 

    Love how Richo said during the week that this was something the boys had been working on to fix over summer. 

    Let's see it then ey.

    I’ve been sitting comfortably in the shade and I’m finished. 

    If the Saints want to wake up and bust a gut now in this heat them all power to them.

    In any other conditions I’d agree but it’s [censored] hot.

    Saints definitely had the scoring end and we had Oliver at half back, plus a few ordinary turnovers. It’s not all effort

    The commentators keep saying it's 8 periods today, but all the early official info was only 6.  Anyone know whats actually going on?

    Petracca with a set shot early in the 4th. And he....  nails it.   73-38

     

    Kick to hot spot where there was lots of numbers.  ANB had kept his width though.  Ball got out to him who went back to Gus who had drifted forward who dropped it into Trac about 35 out.

    • 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.
