Has Kossi done anything the last three games? will need a big last quarter or it is Casey for mine.

 

Not sure why Spargo was subbed and not Pickett

Hope he does something in the last because so far he has been well beaten 

Nothing surer than Collingwood pulling this off now they don’t know how to lose we will need to play some crazy footy to win this

Umps have been great imo letting them play

Yea agreed. They missed a couple soft ones both ways. Hope they don’t ruin it in the 4th.

Our defence was impeccable that quarter. That being said, our kicking into the forwardline needs a lot of work. We can't just rely on our defence to win us this game.

Always kicking to double coverage on Max. Some very bad habits.

Yep, even wasting some inside 50 balls. There was one passage of play where he elected to kick out of our fwd 50 🤷🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️

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.

Well we really worked hard to contain the overlap and spare man than quarter. Pushed them wide but cut off options back in board.

We dominated possession that quarter, +14 contested possessions, +30 disposals, for the quarter.

 

6 more scoring shots. Those first half misses may come back to bite us.

But honestly I want to see Pickett contribute something. He just doesn't do enough for me

 

Kozzie needs to stand up. And I don’t mean to attempt some ridiculous mark. Somebody. And likely some of our guys will need to do special things to hold off the notoriously fast finishing pies.

It would be nice to actually walk out of here and not deal with Collingwood scum 


Umpiring has been ok. Joel Smith’s “dangerous” tackle was a garbage call though.

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

Yes for Spargo.  He's slow as since returning from the head knock

Tempting though.

Having said that, a goal each from Chandler and Kozzy this quarter might just get us the chocolates

One of our best that quarter

he was good. 


Cracking game.

12 point turnaround there


missed tackles

come on dees. get the next one

 hopefully that’s not the difference

 we miss a similar opportunity, they take theirs. Got to take chances against the pies

  • 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.

  • 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.
