Gee it helps to win a clearance.

Well done Smith.

Pay attention Tmac.

Watch it again and just before the ball comes in Tmac gets body on Weitering and prevents him getting to the contest

    It's not the umpires' fault we are behind. It's our wayward forward line yet again. In an arm wrestle, the winner is always the side that converts its chances.

    Same strengths and same weaknesses on show. Bombing it to no one. Tmac can’t get off the ground at all. Well done Joel smith. Only for him we’d be in all sorts.

    no composure, trac the main offender. Struggling to move the ball.

    but we’re still in it. Hoping our superior fitness can see us home.

    come on dees.

    At this point I'd sun Schache out midway through the third for McDonald.

    Yep been saying that for ages. His hack kicks are meaningless 

    Are we talking about Petracca?

    Has been a liability so far. Hopefully he can light up the second half.

    Get TMac off and try Schache. Can’t be worse.

    Won't be better. I can guarantee. There's a reason he isn't on at the start when the heat is on. Soft as half-melted butter.

    I cannot believe what I saw that quarter. Never have I see such a blatant attempt to get a team back into it than that.

    I really don’t understand the rules of footy anymore. That was incomprehensible.

    Yes, TMac needs to retire. respectfully

    We're at 57% efficiency going forward. Our issue tonight is actually giving away territory on the flanks.

    Didn't see Spargo that quarter.

    Jordan ain't no Gus.

    Fire up Fritta.

    Anb too.

    Chandler and Kozzie ain't that much at all. 

    Smith a Lone hand fwd.

    Tmac see ya later. Tx for some memories . You should not have been there last week as well.  Could you just show a glimmer of gusto in perhaps your last game.   Fgs.

    Bring on the sub.

     


    The lack of foot skills in our team is glaring, isn't it?

    Pickett set the tone early by giving up the shot on goal Smith had early in the game.

    He will be suspended for his bump on Cripps and rightly so.

     

    Won't be much of a loss tbh on current form. Unfortunately the next cab off the rank would be Bailey Laurie and that fills me with very little confidence.

    Tries to be the tough guy too much too.

    Just get a kick first Koz.

    Undisciplined.

    They completely changed the momentum and also denied us getting the lead back. Disgraceful. But doing as they are told.

    Huh? I think without him tonight we’d be getting absolutely smashed!

    Mate he's had a putrid first half. Dinky little 5m kicks that gets directly turned over. 

    Running at 55% says it all along with just 2 tackles.

    It's Jake Lever, Petracca and May who are keeping us in it.

    • 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.
