It’s very hard to watch a game when I have my view obscured every 4 seconds by “fans” carrying $800 worth of mid strength beer 

Did you get one then?

 

Good: Steven May, McVee, Viney, Petty and Lever.

Decent: ANB, Jordon, Langdon, BBB and the Melk.

Terrible: Max, Pickett, Rivers, Angus (40% disposal efficiency).

    Saints down 3 men makes it very difficult for them. We should run over the top of them in the second half.

    A few players down at half time, Petracca, Salem, to name a couple, but rapt in Woey jnr, JJ, Sparrow and Viney

    We look average for mine I’ll be happy if we do enough to hold on forget winning big…

    And what is Tracc doing? Is he being tagged closely?

    We seem so slow. No dare or run. By the time they move the pill forward, Saints have us covered. We look so ordinary to say the least. 

    Also, getting in each other’s way / not giving each other space / trusting that teammates will win the ball. Hand balling to stationary teammates. Often no overlap.

    I don’t drink beer. Much less the [censored] they sell at the footy. 
    Besides beer doesn’t go with the cheese platter.

    The viewing experience at this ground is atrocious 

    I will never understand why you bother coming to the footy only to spend half the game going in and out of your seat to drink. Like why not get drunk for free at home? 
     

     

     

    Kozzie to kick six in the second half…

     

    or five

     

    or a couple… 😁

    I didn't go tonight either. I go every week, pay $1000 in memberships, sort of didn't feel like paying more to go to to a concrete jungle and get home by midnight again.

    Bring on next fri though 

    Edited by layzie


    We are 13 points up = total positive.

    We have more players playing well than playing poorly, but the poor ones like Kozzie and Gus looking a mile off.

    Love seeing BBB back.

    Good to see our F50 entries looking cleaner, and our  general forward play looking organised.

    After a good start, Woewodin looking off the pace.

    We need Trac and Viney to stand up big time in the 2nd half.

    Our reserved seats at the G are in a dry area!

    It is bliss.

    Not great but not bad. 10 possies, a goal and 5 score involvements.

    We are top four but only because the other 14 side are very ordinary.

    • 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.
