Haven't watched the game due to being overseas, what's happened to Salem? Says he's injured, AGAIN?! 

Have said nothing on tv about it so far. He was in the midfield and then disappeared so possible. 
He is too fragile to play midfield.

    I am not saying it’s working. Or a good strategy. Just answering the question. 
     

    Midfield and defense should be ashamed of this performance. Senior players an absolute disgrace with lack of accountability and defensive effort. 
    No excuses and I love May but Jesus stop carrying on like a pork chop, you’ve been embarrassed today. 

    Yep, I gotcha.

    We seem to be quite amazing at coming up with a strategy and sticking with it ALL game even when it's clearly not working.

    10 mins left and there's still loose Freo players everywhere in their f50

    It's that same old question mark about our lack of flexibility and adapting mid game if something is not working.

    Hasn’t been mentioned on the TV. Will let you know when I hear.

    This was never a team that was going to challenge for the flag. I had us making the 8 even with Gawn and Trac. Gonna be tough from here on out.

    After really fighting hard last week, did not expect us to be as soft as we have been today.

    Billings with 15 and a goal in a Q has been better than most

    I'm not sure what it says about our steam when Billings has already had more possessions in a half than about 3/4 of our side.

    Also I think we can dispel this is our 2nd home [censored]. Yes I know the significance of the ground but we are hopeless here.

    It was going to be hope for the rest of the season Murdoc. I'd like to change it to 'hope I've still got a little Scotch left from last week'

    Not that it makes any difference to the result but why does Sparrow continue to 'walk on water'? Seriously, when was the last decent game he has played? 2021 GF? So did everyone. Please don't give me 'he's playing a role'. [censored]. OK, midfield cupboard is fairly bare but make an example this bloke. Promote Brown and let Tom kick off the dew at Casey.

    And too slow off the mark.  Too often second to the ball.  He is simply NOT a mid fielder in any sense of the role and brings nothing to the table other than handing the oppo another opportunity at first use.

    Another terrible coaching decision from Simon today.


    Our shape around stoppage has been diabolical today along with everything else.

    Div 7 type positional awareness.

    Because something something he plays good defensive rubbish

    Lever embarrassing -  leaked goals all day.  Honestly can’t believe how lose he’s been and when he has won the ball he’s turned it over consistently

    Yes Turner, handball it back to Fritta so he can get gang tackled. 

    If a bloke of Turners size can’t mark he shouldn’t be in the team. That dropped mark was amateur hour

    • 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 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.
