Expected score at half time 33 - 27 our way.

Inaccuracy letting us down again.

Other stats supporting that we have a small edge in a close game, leading tackles, takes inside 50, marks inside 50, contested marks, clearances, and contested possessions.

Collingwood with more disposals - 20 more handballs. 

 

There is a tactical battle with structures, Collingwood trying to get an overlap on the outside, which they then seem to use to cut inboard while we work to man back up. When they get it, they have scored. When we've denied it they have struggled to move the ball threateningly.

Scoring a couple of goals from stoppages early was a real boon for them.

Evenly poised, and it might come down to individual brilliance or team fitness.

    Ok this half we'll kick straight.

    Petracca, smith, Spargo and van Rooyen need to do something.

    3 goals in a half is not great 

    3 Goals and a zillion pionts is shizzen footy

    Lucky to score what game are you watching.

    The one where we have kicked 3 goals in a half, and packed our daks when a score is possible. If that doesn’t change, we’re done. Simples. 


    Have a look at this tweet, we all get excited about the footy but imagine wishing death upon someone fighting a terminal disease

    Should we have bought in Melksham as another scoring option because Spargo and Chandler aren't offering much

    Kozzie needs to stay down and be at the fall of the ball.

    You know………….be a small forward

    Serious rocket.... that shouldve happened after the first attempt.

    Max & Fritta need to have a word or Goodwin.

    How this hasn't been rubbed out of his game after 12 rounds is astounding and a real blight on the forward line coach.

    Why ... you gunna run out and snag a few !!  Fmd.. this lot are throwing it away.

    Just do it Melbourne.. squandering the ball.

    My strong advice is to give up Twitter - it’s a sewer. And, who are these people and who cares?

    Smith is not a forward. But I guess the cupboard is bare unfortunately. So much on young Jvrs shoulders and he's having a quiet one. I'd try and leave Grundy there for the rest of duration. 


    Maynard is a houso thug.

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      It seems like only yesterday that these two sides faced off against each other in the centre of the continent. It was when Melbourne was experiencing a rare period of success with five wins from its previous six matches including victories over both of last year’s grand finalists.  Well, it wasn’t yesterday but it was early last month and it remains etched clearly in the memory. The Saints were going through a slump and the predicted outcome of their encounter at TIO Traeger Park was a virtual no-brainer. A Melbourne victory and another step closer to a possible rise into finals contention. Something that was unthinkable after opening the season with five straight defeats.

    • 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.

    • 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.
