Petty is woefully out of form. Maybe just not a forward I guess. It happens.

You can't say that!!

EVERYONE has saying he was " the answer" after about 3 games last year.

Hilarious

    Poor last quarter.

    The 3 goals against cost us 3rd spot on the ladder by %.

    Sounds trivial?

    It isn't and wont be come final time.

    Lol we are at 28 points, Port at 32 - enjoy the win!

    Positives. 4 points and Tomlinson

    Negatives. Too conservative again and slow moving ball.

    St Kilda were pathetic.

    Running and contesting is a great thing

    Not a perfect win but still a good one.

    No it didn’t. Port are a game ahead of us.

    Pity we got smashed by the 2nd worst team in the comp last week ain’t it

    Might be the catharsis required to shake off the mid-season lethargy. Top four you need fight to stay up there.

    To say nothing of the rubbish they served up last week.

    Letting them get the last 3 was soft

    BURY THEM

    Meanwhile the Crows are destroying the Eagles, normal transmission resumes

    We are Jekkyl and Hyde level footy

    Great to see a dominant 1st quarter. We've been too slow out of the traps recently.

    Set shots better but still room to improve. we were 4-9 at one stage but thankfully found our shooting boots after that.

    Good last quarter from Clarry. he hasn't been his normal beast mode self recently. hopefully that's the springboard to return to top form.

    All in all a good days work at the G.

    Go Dees

    Enjoyed the awe in Dangerfield’s voice when talking about Gawn. Marshall is meant to be one of the elite rucks going around and Max treated him with disdain.

    It shouldn’t get lost that we are watching an all time great every week.

    This win gives me confidence we're still a contender. Liked having Salem back in his old role given he'd been pushed into the middle with an extra defender in the side. Defensive unit had the right balance, Tommo is a great Lever insurance but probably just that. Hunter had a strong return showing. Gawn is still scarily dominant even with an injury niggle. On the other hand, don't know how the Saints have managed to go downhill this much in such a short time.

    Would love to have gotten a bit more out of Petty and McAdam, but ok to persist with this forward set up until Melksham comes into the fold. Langdon's got a bit of unutilised forward craft.

    I agree, we can’t keep trying to find positives, give Jeffo a go or Tmac forward or Thommo forward, let’s face it 5 possessions a game would be a bonus

    He is approaching GOAT. Without a question .

    Anyone who has been going to the games noticed how nice Tmac’s kicks have been looking? Hits the ball at its lowest point, and its resulting in absolute bullets.

    The fact that Port have won an extra game would have made that difficult Einstein.

    For those laying into McAdam, it’s a bit rough. 2nd game. It’ll take time to find his feet and rhythm at this level, in a new team. I thought he got into some good spots. He’ll be fine. Got to give these guys some time! Even if it was smart strategy to drop guys after 2 rounds, we don’t have the depth for that!

    Agree, containing Gawn is a whole team effort. Just on another level to his peers. Didn't think he'd be doing this 3 years after the flag

    Nibbla 27 @ 74%, 12 contested and 2 goal assists, 11 centre bounce attendances, he’s above a role player now 👏🏻 

    would’ve been nice to win by 50 instead of 38 but we’d put the cue in the rack and benched Max and a couple of others. Did what we needed to do and comfortably beat a weak opponent.

    Am I convinced we’re back? No but it’s better than last week.

    Gee the saints are SH eeee T.

    Thats the softest AFL midfield I’ve seen since we got called Bruise Free in 2011.

    Hard to take much out of that. If we were any good we would have been 8 goals up at half time.

    Stafford needs to go at the end of the year. Can we get an actual modern day forward coach?

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?

    • 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.
