Howes impressive so far. Loving Salem in the midfield. Adds a totally new dimension outside of the bash and crash of Viney and Petracca.

    pity about the goal kick

    Unusual for him.

     Let's hope it hasn't spread


    Damn, hot happy, McKay is a Maynard, AnB useless, Schache is useless/weak,  what is going on? 🤪😂🤪😂
     

    I'm liking our system, kicking forward to advantage and keeping defensive structure

    Neal Bullen just stuffing it up there 

    Yeah, his kicking inside 50 is terrible. Such poor technique. 

    Oh hold on, I thought you meant Petracca.

    Bought a digital membership this arvo so I could watch. Think it gets sent in the post!! "facepalm".

    Anyone know if you can get the voucher code emailed to you?

    It isn't going to arrive in time for this game - mine took ages to arrive last season.

    The intensity from both teams not strong so hard to determine how hard they are all cracking in. Some rusty disposal but it is improving as the game grows. 

    Salem, Chandler and Billings are bringing some good F50 delivery.

    Windsor and Howes getting to the right position but not delivering well.

    The construction of our transition from defence to forward is looking OK.

    Is Bowey OK? No concussion?

    Doubt he's concussed. Contact looked mostly in the chest area, but McKay is a big [censored] so might have caught some of bowser's chin or lip too.

    I didn't watch last week's game. Watching tonight I've forgotten about the players we've lost through to trades or retirements 

    [censored] that's a harsh free against Riv. He was doing everything he could to wrest possession into a position to dispose of the ball.

    I know he's loved or hated but I'd seriously roll the dice and give Tommo a stint fwd if Tmac plays defence.

    That lack of a big body fwd then was glaring for us.

    3 minutes ago, whatwhat say what said:

    salem is excellent in midfield - both with his disposal and his defensive workrate

    Yep we need to keep him fit. His ball use is exquisite

    • 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.
