I 100% disagree, a little out of it that quarter, but his attack on the ball is light years ahead of TMac

Happy with his efforts. I know others want Brown but I can see what the coaches are seeing.

    Highlight is McVee. Quick, clean, sure handed. Kid is a star.

    At the very least it seems like we can have confidence in our future on the D50.

    McVee, Bowey, Petty very good line-up to take over May, Lever when they retire. And Disco Turner growing season after season.

    Hopefully now we can focus on KPF and some more polish and class with the foot in our midfield.

    Goody will have a good talking to them and they will get it together in the second half.

    We are ahead on the scoreboard as it stands yes. 
    But our game plan and skills are those of an Aussie rules team playing in Canada.

    It’s less about the score and more about the quality on display. It’s really ugly to watch. We are a lot better than this. I hope.

    +9 clearance against a great contested team, a bit more polish and spread and we will get a run going

    My 3 point half time PowerPoint slide headings:
    1. Carlton are rubbish
    2. Dees lack class & polish
    3. Rubbish game of footy with almost no highlights.

    I am so very bored watching this.

    1st half

    Ditto. Terrible suburban league 4 type footy. Turnovers and missed targets by both teams. Rubbish footy. 

    🤮Spargo free kick and goal (ridiculous umpiring even beyond a Ginnivan level) 

    ✅Kozzzy goal but needs to do more 

    ✅ clearances 23-14 stoppages 19-10 

    ✅JVR goal 

    🥔turnovers 37-38 

    🥔umps - free kicks 5-11

     

     

    Remember at half time when you could sit and chat to the person next to you who you are with or enjoy watching the kids play little league. Now we get rubbish techno music and dance cam. Honestly shut the music up

    Those calling for Brown to play need to watch him at Casey. He’s more cooked than a GF snag. Done, finished, retire now.

    I don't like when people just focus on the scoreboard or the ladder.

    As you have said Jaded, we look terrible against a subpar team in Carlton.

    Same. As it is we struggle to keep the ball inside our attacking 50. Smith is a lot more athletic and able to give us better coverage at ground level. 
    Tmac and BB missing is not why we are playing this poorly.

    I’m really hoping we can win the next quarter and then have the game won heading into the last where we can hopefully play a few players into form.

    Awful disposal from both teams. Luckily Carlton have been even worse than us. I wouldn't want to watch the slaughter if we produce this standard against Collingwood.

    • 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?

      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.

      It's Game Day and the Demons have traveled to Alice Springs to take on the Saints and they have a massive opportunity to build on the momentum of two big wins in a row and keep their finals hopes well and truly alive.
