    Look even more average!

    Yep, correct !!

    Team of average skilled fumbling footballers.

    Cant question effort, but need polish 

    We need to offer Burgess kids jobs and a house to move to Vic and get him back.

    Saints have a two player bench.
     

    If we don’t win this game it is time for some serious discussions at the club. 

    Stoker has been off injured for the last 15 minutes so they only have one on the bench

    Poor choice by Trac, either have the shot or that’s gotta go 10 meters out.

    Poor choice to kick it to Grundy?

    i know what you mean

    Do we have another gear?

    It's not a motoring show...

     


    If we lose this it will be as a result of losing the 2nd ball to the Saints .

    Very few crumbers at the drops,  shocking at loose ball gets and contested ball gets.

    Can't maintain a chain beyond about 3 or 4 possessions

    Still cant find targets inside and not enough forwards lead or time their leads at all towards the ball carrier.

    Talls / mediums continue to sit back at the top of the square or just outside the goal line.

    Where are the short shallow kicks (on occasions) to a leading forward around 40 to 50 meters out to at least maintain possession, have a shot at goal, eat up the clock and give our mids a rest and HBs more time to set up an effective wall??????????

    The Saints were dominated for most of that quarter and we could still barely convert after so many entries.

    Forward craft Pffft!   CRAPPOLA!

    Might be time for Kossie to have a spell at Casey. He's been underwhelming for weeks

    Time was about three weeks ago.

    Our coach clearly is from South Australia, constantly behind the times.

    That was due some time ago.

    I am surprised you didn't notice.

    Smith to come on - a couple goals in the last please….

    We all honestly know we are a bottom 8 team.

    We all wish we were a ruthless, team oriented smart team.

    disappointing performance, lack of running and chasing by a few players are keeping the saints in this. even though they are tired they are committed i wish i could say the same about all of our players.

    Poor choice to play Grundy

    I'd much rather have JVR down there.  Or Smith!

    Grundy is not the answer.

    Tap bros experiment should have been killed off three or four weeks ago.

    Grundy sub (at best)

    This is the dirtiest Umpire effort to make one side competitive i have ever seen.

    It's just so one sided. We are not playing well, but they are just a dirty side, and a lot dirtier with Jones in it.

      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.
