Mid season draft coming up.

We need to do what Richmond in 2019, years we need to find a diamond in the rough and it has to be an inside mid or a genuine key forward/Ruck.

That’s 3 games in a row against the Blues that insufficient goal review technology has cost us the match. One day a team will lose a Grand Final as a result of Soviet era tech. 

I used to sit in and operate a fixed camera for the AFL match day vision (the behind the goals camera) from 14-16 and back then the goal review system (run by Hawkeye) would have an AFL employee or a VFL umpire sitting next to a Hawkeye tech (normally from england).

And back then they had absolutely no F’ing idea what they were doing or talking about.

The Hawkeye tech who as there just to play back footage and certain angles for the goal review op would often give his [censored] uneducated view of what he was seeing. It was laughable. I shutter at the tough of who is doing it atm.

Keep in mind, if it wasn’t a VFL umpire it was just someone from AFL operations who got paid sweet F all extra to do it. Thats the kind of quality we are dealing with here. That was only 10-8 years ago.

 

Great show as always guys.  Both entertaining and insightful.  Thank you! ❤️💙

Were our centre stoppage set ups too aggressive in the first quarter? Even when they started putting scores on us, we never really reverted to a defensive set up, and continued to go for the clean break away clearance.

Whats that? Our midfield got punished? Didn’t see that coming..


Great show.

Don't know if I'm fully on board the proud of performance train but fantastic insights as always.

I didn't think Carlton were horrible for the entire second half either, thought they were pretty much in control with the game on their terms right up until the last 8 mins of the game where maybe the 3 games in 13 days kicked in. Quite often they replied with goals quickly to ours after a lot of hard work and from memory they started at least 2 quarters with goals in the first 30 seconds.

Proud of the fightback but no doubt in my mind the better team won on the night.

  • 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.

  • POSTGAME: Carlton

    A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
