    Just need to ride the momentum against better. Can let De Konning or others have such easy access to goals.. 

    we are switched on.

    Been one of our best.

    Too many bad decisions, almost costed us a goal there in the last 10 seconds of the quarter.

    Langdon and Salem just don't have the energy for finals.

    Should have got more reward for effort but still a much better start.

    Was TDK second goal a dive?

    The umpires helped Carlton. That wasn’t a free kick that resulted in their last goal. Whoever wins tonight I think will go far. But I love seeing daring football. There is an opportunity to switch the play and run and gun.

    Langdon started well. Salem needs a rocket.


    It may have only taken 5 years, but I'm glad we're learning to lower our eyes going forward. Should be further in front considering the general play, but it's only quarter time and I'm happy enough with a lead.

    Salem has the energy, but uncontrollable.

    Too many brain fades 

    Umpireton as I expected 

    To Kozzie, your mistake was not good, you let your team down.

    Mistake

    Not a fan of Max's centre bounce tap work tonight - he's letting Carlton have first use of the ball.
    Clarry's up and under kicks are also killing us.

    • 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 a disappointing loss in Alice Springs the Demons return to the MCG to take on the Magpies in the annual King's Birthday Big Freeze for MND game. Who comes in and who goes out?

      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.
