Our backline was under siege because our mids let their mids walk it out of stoppage.

NM (mel)

Scoring from def - 38 (22)

From fwd - 44 (30)

From centre - 43 (14)

Scoring from Stoppage - 69 (17)

Scoring from Turnover - 60 (43)

My own opinion is that we have prioritsed ball movement (in this forum and the coaching staff) in the past 12 months and thats been a  SIGNIFICANT detriment to our turnover differential, where the game ultimately matters.  We just dont have the right players in the right period of their careers for this game plan.  Hope im very wrong.

    So, can there be a general round of 'ayes' for, at the very least, playing Fritsch one-out in the goalsquare?

    Nobody, literally nobody, can reliably beat him in a one on one contest with three seconds of time to pick the lock.

    Or the coaching staff haven't adequately explained/taught the alternative method that is easily understood by and that all players buy into.  So players are confused ... that is how they look to me.

    They certainly looked confused and bewildered in the second half v. Norf. 

    Is it the plan / coaching, or are they (nearly all) not very bright?

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

    • PREGAME: Carlton

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
