    Drink every time we kick it straight to a West Coast player on the wing.

    If I do this, I will be legless motherless drunk by the 3rd quarter.

    Can our forwards play im front when coming up to the stoppage pls.

    Their backs have taken front position in that space so often and intercepted the pressured kick on too many occasions now.


    Reid fends off, tackled by 3 players and 360’d plus prior = not HTB..

    Chandler no prior, handballs over his head = HTB.

    Pavlich can shut up.  And Oliver can learn to tackle

    Our lack of depth will kill us this year. There's no-one who can replace Billings but he simply doesn't deserve a game.

    Spargo is my only hope.

    T-Mac needs to raise his vision at times.  He's too focussed on always hitting a short target whichvis fine under little pressure but not so good under a fair amount as he is too slow to execute.

    How did McAdam not make the distance?

    McAdam is Garlett 2.0. He'll kick 5 goals when we pump teams by 10 goals but he'll get found out against decent opposition.

    Wish Jack sunk the boot in, last year's Carlton final all over again.

    No complaining about the umpiring here. This is abysmal effort from us.

    Jeez nice if we could hit a target for once. West Coke can’t miss…

     

    You just know Viney is going to turn it over when he gets it.

    It's a West Coast home game OMD ... i'd expect nothing less.  They've been doing it for decades

    • 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.
