Mmm, everyone notice how good the hi-def video slow mos are in the Olympics.

The tech is available but nope.

Put a fork in us!

80 Point thrashing coming up


Oliver to be managed or Casey.

His disposal work is terrible and decision making even worse.

    We genuinely should be 50 points down.

     

    How the [censored] are they walking thru every tackle? Are we made of paper?

    What's happened to our tackling over the last month or two? It feels as though opposition players break out of them way too easily.

    We are reacting.

    So many tackles where we are moving towards a dog's player.

    Easy to step around or shake.

    And not low enough...easy to shrug.

    Our tackles tonight have been so bloody soft it's embarrassing.

    Deplorable


    Clarry doesn’t want to be out there. Missed tackles, overrunning the football, just getting rid of it at all costs. He’s a liability. Would’ve much rathered seen Kynan Brown get a gig. Desperate for tackles that stick atm

    So much dumb footy, after the slow play finally worked we went back to max speed stuff.

    We’ve got a young backline and a midfield that can’t run. Slow down and play some tempo.

    Yeah unlike us.  

    Oliver a shadow of himself. Sad to see, end of the season can't come soon enough for him.

    I hope Binman can finally stop the delusion and accept this season is a bust.

    Looking forward to March 2025.

    Goody needs to put a [censored] big rocket up em at the huddle. I want the towels rushed out after to wipe the spray off. I can forgive some play but this is not good enough.
    No wonder [censored] all rocked up last week. 

     

    It’s like we don’t want to get suspended from tackling them. 
    Just get in there FFS

    • 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.

      It's Game Day and the Demons have traveled to Alice Springs to take on the Saints and they have a massive opportunity to build on the momentum of two big wins in a row and keep their finals hopes well and truly alive.
