    The only thing missing from this game is Phil Gibbs and Ted Henry on commentary.

    And it's just gone 8:30 - what's on SBS?

    The ads are nearly as bad as the commentary. 

    FMD, how many betting ads are there these days? Disgraceful

    Go back 3 years and Dusty would have torn this game to shreds. He is starting to warm up, but looks 4 or 5 games away from doing what he can do.

    Both midfields look so pedestrian and workman like, but with no excellence, or burst away player. 

    I am a huge fan of Charlie Curnow, but he is playing a very Sam Weideman ish game - getting to everything but not completing a mark, or a play. 

    Cotchin is shot. 

    Shai Bolton - yes please. 

    Yeah great call about Dusty.

    The pressure isn’t off the charts and like you said, 3 years ago he would probably have 2 goals and 3 goal assists by now and Richmond is up by 30.

    He could still explode this year but I’ve always felt Curnow is very inconsistent. 
     

    He has the potential to dominate but it feels like he goes missing for 2 games at a time then explodes and kicks 5.

    If it’s not ‘his day’, he’s a middle of the road forward. 
     

    As much as I hate to say, when Hawkins has a terrible day, he’ll still be involved in at least 2-3 goals.

    Tigers defence non existent

    Carlton has defended well. Something very familiar about their defensive structure...

    How has no one fixed McKay's ridiculous kicking style yet?

    • PREGAME: Rd 18 vs North Melbourne

      After four weeks on the road the Demons make their long awaited return to the MCG next Sunday to play in a classic late season dead rubber against the North Melbourne Kangaroos. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.

      It's Game Day and the Demons are back on the road for their 3rd interstate game in 4 weeks as they face a fit and firing Crows at Adelaide Oval. With finals now out of our grasps what are you hoping from the Dees today?

    • WHAT’S NEXT? by The Oracle

      What’s next for a beleagured Melbourne Football Club down in form and confidence, facing  intense criticism and disapproval over some underwhelming recent performances and in the midst of a four game losing streak? Why, it’s Adelaide which boasts the best percentage in the AFL and has won six of its last seven games. The Crows are hot and not only that, the game is at the Adelaide Oval; yet another away fixture and the third in a row at a venue outside of Victoria. One of the problems the Demons have these days is that they rarely have the luxury of true home ground advantage, something they have enjoyed just once since mid April.
