Last night I commented on how the carlton forwards especially the smaller ones put a lot of tackling pressure on and chase.  I saw fritta and kozzie walking. 

Oliver needs to focus on the ball. At one point phillips was into him off the ball & koltyn ran in to help out.

    Chins up, Demonlanders.

    I am not normally one to try ridiculous player shifting mid game but I'd honestly put Oliver deep in the pocket and put Kolt next to him. Shift Petty back and McDonald forward. Leave JVR in the ruck and have Gawn play defensively exclusively. Pickett on the wing and Windsor playing a defensive wing. Give Langdon more space to run. Then sub Chandler and bring on Brown to play an attacking flank role. 

    Petty has been lively. Really unlucky not to have another shot on goal early in the qtr as he was taken high. Fritsch is our real problem. He needs to engage Archer.

    Do we have a forward capable of leading. Think it was Langford with a minute or two to go.. he's clear on the wing with clear space in front and we kick to a pack 20 metres out

    You do understand we are talking about North Melbourne? The worst team in the last 3 seasons? 

    After what we dished up against West Coast? The second worst team in that same period.

    It's not working though. Our season is on the line.

    same old bomb it into the forward line, what is there problem with players leading, if one of our forwards has two players on him where is our spare player.

    Good to see Kolt giving more than he was getting in that half-time melee. 🤣

    Not sure why Oliver is getting game time, sure he’s getting tagged but any other would have been dropped, perhaps that’s the issue, did he earn his spot after a poor preseason?

    Any danger of Ollie impacting ?? 

    Kudos... Petty having a crack.

    Thanks Tmac

    A lot need to lift ...

    Clarry's copping a heavy tag but just doesn't appear to have the leg power and speed to push through the contest and hit the ball at speed.

    Will need a huge pre-season to fix that and get back to his best.

    Playing him deep forward is probably about the only option from here to try n shake the tag and maybe hit the scoreboard or get involved in some score assists plus pressure i50.

    So we can't criticise their poor performance?

    We all support the team, but we are tired and frustrated of the downhill in which we are at the moment.

    why would north tag Clarry?

    he’s had zero impact this year

    • WHAT’S NEXT? by The Oracle

      What’s next for a beleagured Melbourne Football Club down in form and confidence, facing  intense criticism and disapproval over some underwhelming recent performances and in the midst of a four game losing streak? Why, it’s Adelaide which boasts the best percentage in the AFL and has won six of its last seven games. The Crows are hot and not only that, the game is at the Adelaide Oval; yet another away fixture and the third in a row at a venue outside of Victoria. One of the problems the Demons have these days is that they rarely have the luxury of true home ground advantage, something they have enjoyed just once since mid April.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.
