Joel Smith has been very unlucky with injuries but I have liked what he has been doing up forward with Casey. Hopefully he can bring that the the G tonight.

    Nullify docherty and Cripps’ influences and we will win by a lot!! Who shuts them down?

     

    Blue will come out hard and kick straight for once. 

    we’ll be down by 3 goals at Q time. 

    then we’ll turn the screw led by Gawn and Trac

    Guess your under docs orders no grog.

    Gawn is tired, he needs a break. He is captain, he might not let the coach know about it. I don't know BB's situation, he might not be able to play as a forward, could he be able to share the ruck work with Grundy? At moment, our Clearance did not do much favor for us, actually not even 50-50. Without quick ball movement, whoever plays the forward in our players' list, would be struggling. Another is an old issue, some of our players did not kick a drop punt correctly in the set shot. Last game, we had 3 good chances, should have nailed 2 of them, 3 behinds instead. Freo kicked better than us, they won.

    Do we really need the players announced pre game with Robbo trying to sound like an American announcer. 

    Telling people to make some noise when there's maybe 15k in the house doesn't work either

    What odds is McKay to kick the 1st goal? I'd back it.onky because it's typical he'd start kicking straight tonight

    • 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.
