    We actually won the clearances in the 2nd but got smashed with our ball use.

    Sparrow's the one for me in the middle that needs to get going.

    Jv looks a little off, agreed.

    Yes forgot about Sparrow.Ā  His reaction time looks pedestrian against the best clubs at times under heat.

    Needs to speed things up and drive those legs out of congestion more.

    Not sure Petty forward is working. Our key talls look a bit lost and we usually play the 3 key backs.

    Petty needs a block of games to see if he can settle in.Ā  Switching him back now is pointless as you're admitting defeat before you've given it a decent go.

    Ok so if we're up by 15 plus with 3 minutes to go that's diff.Ā  Then you might throw him (among others) behind the ball

    I think throwing him back for match ups is ok.

    They have 3 tall forwards, although only started with two on field. If we put him back to cover the third, I've no problem with that change, wouldn't think it was admitting defeat.

    Ā 

    Sydney certainly had more control in that quarter. A small crumbing forward would be handy.Ā 

    good first half. Swans are top 4 team and have the wood on us.Ā 

    keep up the intensity and tidy up kicking and we will win this

    Its nothing to do with that its the clearance battle and the cleaner ball theyre getting into forward 50 vs our spasmodic clearances and dirtty ball going in thereafter.

    The day we can spread from a clearance then drive it forward finding a leading forward almost directly in front on occasions will be a refreshing change.

    Chandler, Spargo & Tracc really need to get on their bikes big time in this second half.

    JV's in pretty bad form so far.Ā  Looks sluggish, trying to do too much and getting caught....alot.

    P.S. Kozzy out is such a killer.Ā 

    Ā He should go back to late season 21 where his first option was pass it off he has gone back to captain tackled he doesn't have good footy IQ.

    Death, taxes and the person that wants to tell everyone if you read the gameday thread you wouldn't know we're in front.Ā

    I donā€™t think Oliver has had the greatest starts to the year but I feel much more confident in his set shot goal kicking.Ā

    Swans looking much better when they stop playing dirty football and just get on with the game. Losing it when they start their dirty, feux tuff guy rubbish.Ā

    And people complaining about Clarry not being damaging enough despite having heaps of it, leading our metres gained and contested possessions and scored involvements including kicking a couple of goals.

    • 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.Ā

    • 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.
