Something that summed up our day up to 3-quarter time

I believe it was in the second quarter. On the southern-stand side wing, Brock was chasing down a ball. He had 4 Kangroos players all running at the ball as well. He practically beat out all 4 of them, working tirelessly before the ball went out of bounds.

The next 3 players to arive to the vacinty for the throw-in were Kangroos players. The Melbourne players, the entire time, were jogging towards the area.

As the ball went over, Brock turned around and, not to the umpire but rather to his teammates, threw his hands in the air as if to say "where the **** is my help?". It was clearly directed at his teammates because the direction at which he was facing and yelling to there were no umpires, only Melbourne and Roos players running towards him.

Jones, Bell and Johnstone all went up to him to pat him on the back, but he, quite obviously, ignored their encouragement.

Don't know if anyone else saw this, but while it was happening, I remember yelling out "who's helping him?"

    • 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.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
