    Petracca is having a bog of a game and not the good kind.

    Worst game since he had the flu game last year.

    Odds are his second half will be better seems to be a pattern

    I wouldn’t trouble the word “seriously” in this instance. 
     

    But I am more and more of the opinion that a lot of Kozzie’s issues stem from not being coached well enough.

    Of course I’m not happy. 
     

    But the modern league is very competitive these days, and even teams who are low on the ladder find pockets of excellent form. I don’t see it as “Demons are being showed-up by duds”

    I agree with you completely. The comp is probably the most even it has ever been. 

    BUT they lost their best mid just before the game, we are nearly full strength. A top 4, recent premier, hopeful premier again. The only reason this is an arm wrestle is because we have been very poor, not because they have set the world on fire. If they had, I’d agree that we are just battling with a team on fire and nothing to lose. 

    We likely win this, and should, and tbf will need to as I’m not confident about beating the swans over there in the last. So it’s super important we come out in the second half significantly less bad. Hopefully good! 

    But you’re right. The hawks ain’t bad at all they’re building a good team. I just remember many, many losses to them, and would very much like that not to continue for another 5 years at least haha

    This has just been sloppy by us.

    Mids getting crushed except for Jvr.

    Poor skills and some very poor decisions.

     

    God i hate this Hawthorn dirt bag of a team....hope we beat em by 1 point.

    Oskar Baker and Hugh Greenwood story made the throat lumpy..

    Really think that goes for the forward line....

    Hawks cutting our zone up with deft short kicks and good delivery I50. They've been doing that to us for years

    We are guarding grass and their chip kicks are making us defend. But it's hard chasing tail all day. 

     

    Need to go man on man for a while,  control the footy,  make them run AND KICK STRAIGHT FFS

    Spot on but it's not a good pattern .

    Laurie has contributed way more than Kossie but guess who will get dropped first.


    Just observing our lack of pressure when the Hawks have the ball. The umps call play on & our players don't move. 

    Then some of our players haven't bothered to man up and are just walking along the ground

    Hope it wafts into the Hawks dressing rooms. 

    We would have been better with Grundy instead of Gawn today so far. Reeves is cleaning him up.

      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.
