Is Langdon any chance of ever contesting an aerial ball?

Defence has sucked tonight

Bit our midfield has let Carlton walk it in unencumbered.  Add an impotent three talls fwd in Petty, Turner and Jvr and we were always in trouble.

Since we have gone down fighting I'd suggest we need to fix our pregame routine.

Why were we so flat at the start?

Jard to account for that start.

Exactly the same as lions and tigers ( ha ha) games.

Shocking sleepy start with fightback later.

Not good enough

This is the Collingwood QF all over again. Dominate the second half in inside 50s. Bad kicking.

This game was over at quarter time. Nothing like the QF

Who told Max Gawn he's a good kick? 🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️

Max

 

Our field kicking tonight has been shocking. Feels like a big drop off. All throughout the game, kicks to disadvantage regularly. 


carlton going to flood their defence for the rest of the game. we're just going to huff and puff and not blow their house down

Carlton supporters booing. Turn it up

They have no idea - clueless [censored]


No one hitting uo the leading lane there for Billings on the wing.

Max finally clicked but way too late and ended up short of the contest and lost the battle.

Horrid forward craft.  Sorry but you aint making a PF doing that let alone a GF

Centre clearances 13-8 😡😡😡😡

Yep. 

We are supposed to have the best midfield about. I know Traccas fwd but it's really struggling this year. 

Gee the umps make up the htb rule hot and cold 


Should be fun at work tomorrow, cop the usual ‘pretenders’ from colleagues.

Still can’t believe we were 5 goals down at quarter time. It’s just not good enough.

well done JVR

carlton to win the clearance and respond immediately

  • NON-MFC: Round 15

    As the Demons head into their Bye Round, it's time to turn our attention to the other matches being played. Which teams are you tipping this week? And which results would be most favourable for the Demons if we can manage to turn our season around? Follow all the non-Melbourne games here and join the conversation as the ladder continues to take shape.

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

  • PREGAME: Gold Coast

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

  • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
