That's what a champion does. Let's win more footy out of the middle!

 
 

How many times are Richmond going to get away with holding the man every time we go inside forward 50 ?

    So Kozzie wins teh first clearance and has barely been back in there.

    Get him in there more.

    Funny how if you touch a guy off the ball it's [censored] city. But you can jump in to anyone and take them out

    Still a bit unclear on why Marlion Pickett is allowed to play matches right now. Will be very strange if he’s found guilty.

    Kosi has to play more in the middle. Richmond are cutting us up with pace. No Sparrow or Oliver is really hurting. 

    Poor defensive work all over the ground.

    As many as they do is the answer.

    Harmes just killing us. Hasn’t had an effective disposal and missed two sitters. Surely this is his last game

    Kozzie and Viney seemed very quiet that quarter. Pickett and Petracca needs to play more in the middle with Oliver and Sparrow out


    Need Kozzie in the middle 

    Melksham struggles to play constantly good. Chandler seems the same 

    Max lifted the last five minutes and it makes a huge difference. He's such a barometer.

     

    Everything coming off for Richmond, don't know how long that can last

    Tigers scoring 1/2 entries …. It is not sustainable - expect that to dry up.

    Also need a sweeper behind the ball at stoppage.

    A wide fast shootout against the Tigers is not the way to win. 
    We have to get on top in the contested possessions or we won’t win this. If we keep the game this open they’ll keep cutting us up. 
    I understand we want to play more attacking, but when it’s not working it’s not working. We know we can win a slog so make it a slog.

    Why, thought you are innocent until proven guilty.

    No composure. 
    we have none. So many dump kicks, hurried handballs. We need to compose ourselves. 
     

    When we have a clean centre bounce we need to keep the ball lower. So many long bombs.

    Need much more from Salem, JJ, Chandler all three need to get more involved. Hunter and Langdon need to win more contests on the wing.

    Bowey’s disposal hasn’t been great.

     

    We miss Sri’s and Clarrie on days like this when the opposition loves the contest as much of not more.

    Melksham being absolutely hung off of every single time the ball goes inside 50

    FMD you useless [censored] umpire. Blow your [censored] whistle 

    It's not the umpires who have continually fumbled and missed straight-forward shots at goal.

    • 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.
