Another poor coaching performance.

No answer for the Giants handball game.

Tmac on Hogan made no sense.

Another poor coaching performance by McQualter too.

Exactly Hogan is the best key forward going round - May was the obvious match. May was moved after the damage was done. A repeat of the West Coast game when Waterman killed us.

    We lost by 2 points to a side many on here said pre-game we wouldn't beat, who played champagne football from clearance for 20 minutes and kicked 5 goals, and who kicked beautifully all night. If anything, it was the coaching that kept us in it. It was our inefficient playing list, unable to capitalise on momentum and unable to execute under pressure, which kept us out of it.

    A lot on here are really overblowing how good the Giants are. They lost to Richmond and the Suns on expected score and only won off their accuracy. They’ve lost to the likes of Essendon and Adelaide (both teams we’ve beaten). I fully expected to win last night but the fact is after the Giants made some tactical changes after qtr time we had no answer.

    I also thought we’d win for similar reasons. 

    They’ve now won 3 straight off the back of playing efficient football. Last night they weren’t flawless (other than the first 5 minutes of the fourth) but they took advantage of any momentum they had and we are adept at squandering momentum we have.

    Not specifically having a go at Goodwin, but what’s the upside in not having your premier defender in May on their premier forward in Hogan?

    That was the point.  May on Riccardi. Why?  Hogan is their main key forward.  It was a mistake to put Tmcd on Hogan, and it was one of the reasons that we lost the game.

    Goody will not make in game coaching changes unless the game is already lost.  That is my biggest criticism of him. He is stubborn and sticks to the system rather than tactical changes to maximise individual strengths.

    • 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.
