    I'd sub Brown dog for Petty here 

    Petty OFF.
    Brown ON.

     

    Why is Goody delaying the sub with Petty's foot like that? Honestly, Goodwin's boneheaded use of the substitute does my head in.

    Disco's best game in the red & blue so far.  Taken two fabulous contested outlet marks on the wing so far pushing up high as a 3rd tall forward.

    Didn’t quite maintain the dominance from Q2 obviously but kept in it and made sure we have a base to work from in the final quarter. Had petty kicked that one he really should have kicked it would have been pretty much even for that quarter, which would have been fair.

    Need to take our chances in the last and keep up that pressure.

    Petty rucking is insane 

    Yep you'd be better off not nominating and just have an extra medium or smaller speedy player like Brown dog around the stoppage than Petty going up.

     

    We really needed to take those chances to Langdon and Petty. They are coming and we just need to throw all we have left at em and take our opportunities to hang on. Come on Dees. You can do it.


    Umpiring deplorable.

    May said to Umpire 12 “ you are a senior umpire how could you pay that”.

    That is 2 goals from blatant howlers again.

    When are we going to get a few mistake goals our way?

    Blatant holding the ball against Bailey. Shocking not decision

    BT mistaking Sweet Caroline for Country Roads just about sums up his commentary.

    We got this. You can tell they're hungry.

    I hope we win from here but even if we lose I'm so incredibly proud of our effort. If we keep playing hungry like this we won't be a write off. 

    Those bagging out Clarry I hope you hang your heads with shame. He has been so good tonight.

    • 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?

    • POSTGAME: St. Kilda

      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.
