Last 6 minutes a bit more encouraging. A bit more run and carry

Very flat after those two games in succession in Adelaide. Carrying too many blokes who are sore or underdone or non existent Oliver, Brown, Petty, Chandler,jvr, billings, woey, Salem (inj) ,fritsch 

Is Brown playing ? Is JVR ever going to mark it ?? That’s 15 dropped marks in a row. 

Any ideas coming out of the coaches box this evening? have not seen any positive moves they might have made. 

How about swapping petty and Tmac for a quarter? we might get a bit more out of Petty at least.

 

In the last 8 minutes we actually won a lot of ball at half back, only to totally stuff it up with poor disposal and/decision making. 

JVR, Fritsch, Petty and Brown have been as poor as I have ever seen them. No influence, and losing contest after contest. 

Not sure what to do here - it feels like we are mentally and physically fatigued.

Forward line: do we have one?

Midfield: laughably slow and cumbersome.

Defence: Chaotic.

Goody will need to produce a miracle from here. I'm not holding my breath.


Had to log in for the first time in 2024 just to say what the [censored] was that.

 

Oliver shouldn’t be playing.

Ben Brown offers nothing.

Petty to worried about getting into niggle.

Billings unsighted.

Fritsch does nothing when the chips are down.

Windsor can’t get the run going.

Missing Kozzie big time.

Edited by david_neitz_is_my_dad

Smashed around the ball. Zero defensive pressure in the forward half.

No Kozzie no Melbourne.

We look tired;  BBB, Petty Billings nothing

 

 

Trac and sparrow getting in each others way then just summed up the night.

Maxy got them together before they went off. 

But gee a lot need to lift


I have said it once and I will say it again JVR has cricketers hands when the ball comes in at pace his wrists are cocked back to far and his hands are facing the ball on impact.

Why do forwards always start from behind or stand on the wrong side of the incoming ball and stand flat-footed hope they change it after half time.

If we're tired after being up for a month, you have to wonder how the coaches didn't see it through the week. If we thought we'd just turn up then the players need to get their heads checked. This is last year's grand finalists we're playing.

Lost this at the selection table

Petty doesn’t give a stuff. Looks like he has checked out. Only positive is Rivers.

Must admit, I've thought that for a while. There's no way we're getting a first round pick based on tonight's effort.

Half time and Petty.  Bbb .....Fritta and Jvr a grand whole collective total of five touches.

Absolute disgrace

Had 3 chances. Zero goals. Never looked likely.

Very Bizarre about JVR, you can't just forget how to mark. Confidence issues?

2 goals in a half yuck, I thought the lions might win but didn’t expect it to be over at half time, I’m glad I took the lions at $2.80 they are better than what the odds were saying

MAX GAWN is a poor ruckman, Ive thought this for a while, rarely feeds our mids. Great around the ground marking etc but a poor ruckman at centre bounces!

this is an awful post 


Look very flat, 2 hard games with 5 day breaks … not sure why we never  have tall fwds  when the ball is going fwd

No it's his marking technique full stop.

Only positive is that we just could not be worse. It looks like the two games in Adelaide have taken too much out of us. Total lack of effort. 

That’s absolute bullocks. They have had 7 days since their last game.

What's disappointing about that is that he used to clunk everything for Casey.

  • 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.
