POSTGAME: Rd 09 vs Carlton



Recommended Posts

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.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo

    WELCOME 2024 by Meggs

    It’s been hard to miss the seismic global momentum happening in Women’s sport of late. The Matildas have been playing to record sell-out crowds across Australia and ‘Mary Fowler is God’ is chalked onto footpaths everywhere. WNBA basketball rookie sensation Caitlin Clark has almost single-handedly elevated her Indiana Fever team to unprecedented viewership, attendances and playoffs in the USA.   Our female Aussie Paris 2024 Olympians won 13 out of Australia’s all-time record 18 gol

    EPILOGUE by Whispering Jack

    I sit huddled in near darkness, the only light coming through flickering embers in a damp fireplace, the room in total silence after the thunderstorm died. I wonder if they bothered to restart the game.  No point really. It was over before it started. The team’s five star generals in defence and midfield ruled out of the fray, a few others missing in action against superior enemy firepower and too few left to fly the flag for the field marshal defiantly leading his outnumbered army int
