Yeah but Petty every single time finds a way to drag himself and his opponent to a one on one contest, just work with the space!

We have dropped numerous marks inside 50

All the talk about this game on radio was how close it was going to be… MFC “hold my beer”

    Wow game over at qtr time. 
    We played like [censored]. Umps want this so badly and it ends up in a 5 goal to nil quarter 

    that was gross 

    HQ could not have the Brown Papers out of the 8. Ump 22 performing as asked.

    The footy world will be saying “here is the Melbourne underbelly again’

    Pathetic not to score

    Woeful through the middle.  Smashed in all clearance battles including around ground stoppages.

    And why would you rest Max for so long and allow the oppo to dominate further after giving up the first three goals early.

    Terrible coaching decision

    Can't play in wet / greasy conditions.

    In wet weather you need to move the +1 in defence into the middle or even add an extra winger in as well to even or outnumber around stoppage and start winning the contested battles.

    Leave it as is and it'll be the Blues how far.

    They are making a very ordinary team look like Premiers honestly.

     

    I guess Chris Scott was right. Geelong were off.

    Premiership teams don't get smacked around, let alone 3 times in the first 9 games.

    Watching that MCG grand final dream disappear.

    Game completely on Carlton's terms. May doesn't want to follow Curnow and wants to play goalkeeper. That's fine but Curnow is happy to get up the ground.

    Our I50s stink. Coming straight back out. Blues have setup well, matchups are perfect for them.


    They pull the trigger quickly because they know if they turn it over we will move it so slow on the rebound, we ain’t gonna hurt them.

    ANB back to his average I fear.

    Petracca .... Have no words

    Premierships are not won tonight. I think the effort is there. Few poor decisions. That's AFL

    Come back Deez

    we need to pull our finger out before this gets embarrassing.

    my office is infested with Carlton supporters. I won't be able to show face for a week if we cop a hiding

    • 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.

      It's Game Day and the Demons have traveled to Alice Springs to take on the Saints and they have a massive opportunity to build on the momentum of two big wins in a row and keep their finals hopes well and truly alive.
