Just give us the 4 points so we can go home and never speak of this game again.

    Woeful half of football from both sides 

    Looks poor here how does it look on tv?

    He will fit right in here then. 

    Do we know his username on DL? 

     

    Fox footy are on the mark with us.  Out of form, out of confidence.  Forward connection is terrible, don’t kick to space or advantage, bomb it in.

    Selfish plays either not taking the best option, or not hearing it or expecting them to be there

    Good players missing easy targets.  Dropped marks.  Gawn seems either underdone or disinterested - there’s no fire there, no angry Max.

    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. 

    I just want to win tonight, don’t care how or by how much

    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.

    I think I've just got low expectations of our skill level right now anyway so I just want an ugly win. 

    But if we kkkeep plugging away tje confidence will return and we'll hit more targets.

    Worse, very mundane. What strikes me the most is how quiet the crowd is... Doesn't look like a Friday night game crowd.

    Yeah geewhiz that was ordinary viewing. 
     

    Time for another blunt.

    Not much better.

    Get our disposal right and it will be better.

    No, it's a Dees home game

    There are some on this forum who appear to have social health issues. MFC is well infront of bluebaggers. Relax . Most sides are winning  below par games. Relax or we might lose. Shut up.

    Max looks like he’s playing injured, and we are missing Oliver big time, get him back and we will be ok!

    Will Viney miss next week with his illegal tackle early in the first quarter?

    It's touch and go for me 

    It is a very hard game to talk up. But Judd McVee has looked the best he has for a while and looks to have so much room for improvement.

    Just gotta get the four pints tonight. This game is absolute trash. Unbelievable this is modern day AFL with the best athletes and players in the land. The talent pool isn’t big enough it seems.

    Nice finish Van Rooyen.

    Not sure Joel Smith has justified his selection 

    Hasn't played at this level for ages.

    Needs at least 2 matches at this level to find the pace surely.

    He's got to a few contests and a decent chase down at one point.

    Needs to hit the scoreboard a few times in this second half though.

    A few other regular campaigners up forward in the NQR mix in that first half also.

    He plays for Melbourne. So yes.

    Our field kicking entries into 50 are deplorable, none of our forwards double back enough to accept that easy hit up.

    Friggen frustrating as we are in these positions so often, this game should be iced and put to bed.

    • 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 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.
