Interesting watching May. He's brilliant, but needs time to recover. 

If we can get it clear and there's repeat efforts he's going to struggle.

Can we sneak him out there with a green whistle down his jocks?

 
 

We have not got out of second gear in that quarter with not a lot of work or cover out of our midfield. Defence is standing tall with May just amazing with the game he has played so far. I hope he holds up.

gave away that late goal which is a bummer but generally not too bad given our lack of pressure and lack of drive from the middle.

I expect us to step up in this quarter and get the game on our terms.

No panic. play our game.

    Last week's game was almost finals like.

    I fear we are flat

    Just what the Afl wanted.

    Five day break after that game is a joke .

    Midfield getting smashed again just like against Port. Surely we’re due to turn this around?

    They were always going to come out firing

    7 shots to 2 and we are 5 points down 

    i’ll take that!

    Though Adelaide inside 50 is dreadful. Low quality entries.

    6 players with 1 possession or less for the  quarter

    Need to reset on how we go inside 50.

    Get the smalls to the fall of the ball and get it in quicker, flood or no flood, defences wilt if you get it in quick.

    Also need to stand up in the midfield, as we’re getting monstered with the inside 50 count.

    Midfield need to lift bigtime


    This game is for Adelaides season survival essentially. They aren’t good on the road so can’t really afford to drop many home games. They’re coming hard but we got this.

    They are clogging us up

    Did well to stay close

    Suspect their is s 3-4 goal breeze to the cheer squad end

    Go Dees!

    Getting belted in clearances and inside 50s 

    really pathetic display so far 

    Settle down 


    Settle people, if we had got reward for our tackling we'd be 3 goals up

    Started well but intensity dropped off mid way. Terrible kick from Rivers at that stage of the quarter. 

    McVee has been great despite one  Rankine goal. 

    May some great marks. 

    Can we play BBB out of the square? Looks unnatural him chasing down defenders.

    Rivers back into the corridor with less than 20 secs to go - big brain fart.

    Grow a brain mate!

    Really poor from rivers

    • 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.
