This short [censored] has to go

 

Chipping around half back and then creating a path through seems to be used a lot more than previous seasons.

Tackling and pressure excellent.

An uninspiring game, with few highlights, lots of spilled marks, lots of fumbling, and missed shots at goal.

May and Langdon excellent. Trac and Clarry looking really good.

Goalkicking - grrrrr...

Johnson looking handy.

Flat and uninspiring so far.

Our skills are appalling. Really hope we’re lulling them into a false sense of security only to switch it up in the second half.

    Billing’s can’t handle pressure. Gameplan is still a mystery, looks slow and uncertain 

     

    Dee Spencer is correct - we just don't move the ball. Zero run and carry....other than Koz there is no speed or dare. Devoid of ideas at half back because no one has the speed or creativity to create any space. 

    Very vanilla and boring so far

    So I assume Windsor is not playing HB?

    Slow ball movement = no space up the ground = turnovers = mounting scores against = lose the game.

    How can billings make that kick but miss two relatively easy shots on goal?

    How many psychologists can we fit in the soft cap?

    1.8 in nearly two quarters. 

    Not only is that woeful but who the hell is our goalkicking coach??

    I thought we were going to be more aggressive with our ball movement?

    This is uninspiring. A praccy is a perfect place to trial dash and dare! If we lose, we lose, it’s ok, but if we lose playing safe and boring like much of last year, what’s the point? 

    Freo embarrassed us TWICE last year.

    What’s the point of this? 

    What’s the message?

    We've made zero adjustment with our ball movement.  It's the same as 2024.

    Look at the way Freo transition off half back compared to us.

    Another year of slow boring football.

    He's never done it before....

    Horrible kicking in front of goal to have 1.5 from set shots inside 50, how do you coach for that

    I was hoping to see at least a glimmer of a new game plan

    We are getting towelled up again

    • 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.
