    Only ourselves to blame. Trac huge.

    But it's the old forward-line woes again, it's still a work-in progress and was always going to get found out by players like Weitering.

    Carlton are ordinary. We just needed someone to stop the rot in the first quarter, and sadly no one did.

    Viney was the only one from start to finish. Thank goodness.

    Petracca absolutely huge. Very proud of the comeback and another minute we would have won. After giving up 6 and looking completely lost it was a fantastic fight back. Not often proud of a loss but that’s as close as I’ll ever get. Umpires can eat a bag of you know what’s.

    Left it too late. 

    More scoring shots.

    And ultimately lost by a cheat dangerous tackle call. 

    Really gutted this could have been ours.

    So who would you blame if he missed the goal then.

    Worst 1st quarter I have seen since the Neeld era, just dont get it.

    Should have beaten these clowns.

    Been a work in progress for 3 years. Did love Roos and Traccs aggression forward. Petty and Fritta should watch the tape

    Geez that was frustrating to watch. Diabolical for periods but whilst the margin was six goals still thought we were a chance if they tired. Then when the momentum swung our way we went back to our one wood of missing easy goals before having enough possession to win two games of football in the last quarter. Only Melbourne.

    Not sure it’s the “forward line blues”. It’s more the entry into the forward half that was pathetic tonight.

    Where was that urgency from the start?

    Sounds stupid given a 0.0 to 5.0 first quarter but I really didn’t feel like the score reflected the effort. It was our usual arm wrestle first quarter but the score somehow didn’t reflect.

    This game was a freak anomaly for mine. I write it off as a disappointing loss that we should have won and move on.

    Cheated. 
    actually cheated and dudded 

    i [censored] hate this league 

    Thanks GC Dee.

    I thought the 11 frees in the first was an utter disgrace.

    An actual blight on the game.

    Ok we played poorly but take away Mays touched ball the only one the video can't decide on and that cheating effort that got a free for dangerous tackle and we Won by two goals.

    So the umpiring did cost us a game no matter how we played.

    It's a absolute poor effort by the umpires tonight.

    Maybe the Afls needs to ask questions about this one and how the blues lead the free kick differential by so much.

    It really is disappointing to see a game ruined by such poor performances from them.

    Dock their pay or check if they have betting accounts.

    AFL will come out and say they made a mistake on that sling tackle free kick

    Which means we won, again, against Carlton, except for the umpiring.

    unbelievable.

    Yes they will, would have most likely made a difference.

    But the first half was shocking in the forward line. Were their defenders just have an amazing game or we wilted in the rain? 

    Too often we all went fort he ball with no players behind the pack in the wet,, that is where Kozzie and chandler should have been.

    21 scoring shots to 11 after one minute into the 2nd quarter. That’s so disappointing to not be able to have someone stand up early.

    We miss Gus. I know it sucks but we are clearly down a quality midfield rotation.

    • PREVIEW: Fremantle

      The dominant storyline coming out of Round One for Saturday Night’s clash at Optus Stadium centres on the influence of the big men. The spotlight naturally falls on two elite ruckmen who, five years ago, shared the stage in Melbourne’s memorable premiership triumph.

    • THE STATS FILES: St. Kilda

      As part of the effort to trim the runtime of the regular podcast, we’ve been looking at which segments could be reshaped without losing what makes them valuable. One segment that naturally came into focus was Binman’s Stats Files. Not because it isn’t important; quite the opposite. It’s become such a substantial and much-loved part of the show that it deserves a little room to breathe.

      After a stunning victory over the Saints in the first round of the Season the Demons head over to Perth to take on the Dockers who choked in their first match against the Cats. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      One of the big stories of the AFL off-season was the spending spree of Melbourne’s Round 1 opponent, St Kilda. They splashed out heavily, first to retain Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera - the hero of last year’s epic come-from-behind miracle victory -turning him into a $2 million man. They then effectively took out an expensive overdraft to recruit a string of expensive players from other clubs. It was a risky investment strategy and, although it’s still early days, it certainly failed to pay off in Sunday’s season opener, with much of the glitter turning to fool’s gold.

    • POSTGAME: St. Kilda

      Never in doubt!!! In Steven King’s first game at the helm of the Melbourne Football Club, the Dees outlasted Saints in a wild, momentum-swinging thriller at the MCG, running out 13-point winners.
