    How good to dominate the CCS again.

    Tommo has been good.

    Missed Langdon.

    Let's keep this up, kick straight and build some %.

    Steven May constantly coaching Tomlinson on where to run and where to kick. Unbelievable. 

    In a good way, you mean?

     

    This mob are actually worse than I thought. No excuse not to turn this into a percentage boost.

    Leigh Montagnia on the money re Saints dysfunctional backline. 20 goal haul should be in our sights.

    Love to see the day when we kick more goals than points during a dominant period.

    Something tells me you are a glass half empty kinda guy.

    Seems we have decided on a team rule to take the option if there's one just barely inside or on the 50, and accept the difficulty of shots from that distance rather than blast it in and risk the rapid turnover.

    I suppose even if the long-range set shot is a behind, there's plenty of time to set up to stifle the counter-attack.

    8 marks inside 50 in one quarter seems like a lot.

    Touch wood we keep controlling territory the way we have been. Very few clanger-level turnovers.

    Also, is it just me or have Oliver and Petracca been pretty in the first quarter? Hmm, quick odd stat - Sparrow, Nibbler, Oliver and Petracca have less than 100m gained between them.

    Fritsch's work rate seems to be back up.

    Thommo having a cracking game

    He usually does. He's unlucky that he's at a club with May and Lever as tall defenders. He'd get a game as a tall defender every week at any other club in the league.

    and people soccer is dull

    where has the last ten minutes of my life gone??


    Saints aren't good but we ain't that flash. We should pump them as we should have Eagles last week. We are flat flooted too often.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      It seems like only yesterday that these two sides faced off against each other in the centre of the continent. It was when Melbourne was experiencing a rare period of success with five wins from its previous six matches including victories over both of last year’s grand finalists.  Well, it wasn’t yesterday but it was early last month and it remains etched clearly in the memory. The Saints were going through a slump and the predicted outcome of their encounter at TIO Traeger Park was a virtual no-brainer. A Melbourne victory and another step closer to a possible rise into finals contention. Something that was unthinkable after opening the season with five straight defeats.

    • 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.
