    I wish our players would communicate better .

    Some are going podcasts.

     

    Hopefully May runs through Ben Keys. He has a hugely punchable head.

    I think Adelaide have caught us off guard here. I don’t think anyone expected them to play so defensive and have an extra down back. We will adjust.

    Quarter riddled with mistakes and poor decisions 

     

    Poor execution and sloppiness will cost us here. Need to sharpen up and hit our targets.

    And then sit out for 3 weeks?

    Too many small forwards in this team.

    And yet still no influence.

    Good work from Max , Tommo, Jvr, Viney and Mcvee.

    We look a little exposed for leg speed here, getting wrapped up a lot

    5 crows leading the tackling stats tells a story

    Kossie started strongly, I like seeing him up the ground a bit more; getting amongst it.

    The thing that strikes me comparing this game to last night's is the pure structure of Melbourne's play. It's really professionally done, and I think even the dodgy looking forward entries are built to reinforce and enable this structure.

    Whether it can hold up and outscore your Collingwoods and Port Adelaides in finals remains to be seen but it's definitely different than their gamestyles.


    Adelaide’s pressure has been very good. They know their season is on the line.

    1st. 

    🤮Dees terrible kicking. Kozzzzy. Trac. May. Bad turnovers 

    🤔Mcvee struggling on Rankine (keep the faith) 

    🤔Lever brain fade deliberately out of bounds

    I think you’ll find it wouldn’t take much for him to drop.

    • 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.
