Like last week, they're walking it out of the centre.

Thanks mate. She’s currently getting some rest after a prolonged labour. Still looks more likely than our half back line.

Is 100 points a chance?

I was at Waverley sitting next to Brent Croswell (injured) who went down to hear Barassi's 3/4 time spray. On return, he reported the great man's inspirational speech was "don't get done by 100 points".
 

High tackle, throw. Play on.

This club is an embarrassment we should have let Trac and Oliver go last year should do a full clean out now none of them want to be there hopefully we drop fritch he is about as useful as an ashtray on a motorbike

    I can't see us avoiding the media blowtorch this week, especially if this margin pushes 60-70 points.

    That was a 126-1 live bet at half time.

    Very difficult to see any upside here. Kozzy, Lever, Judd, Windsor all will help but you'd really think some of the team out there would show a bit more than they currently are.

    It's a changing of the guard though. Suns and Roos will both be good this year

    Smartest thing I’ve done this season is back the Suns to beat us by 60+.

    Dumbest thing is I only put $10 on it at 16-1

    wont be 60+, they'll give us hope then choke

    Your grandfather is in labour 😮😮??

    And if he was. He’d still beat Howes 1 on 1.

    Can you show me the way to Fumbletown?

    We are experts at handballing at either the feet or well above the heads of players.


    Thanks anyway MFC for the last seven years....

    Skills aside, are our performance staff getting off easy? How can a whole team be so slow against multiple teams?

    • CASEY: Sydney

      The Casey Demons were always expected to emerge victorious in their matchup against the lowly-ranked Sydney Swans at picturesque Tramway Oval, situated in the shadows of the SCG in Moore Park. They dominated the proceedings in the opening two and a half quarters of the game but had little to show for it. This was primarily due to their own sloppy errors in a low-standard game that produced a number of crowded mauls reminiscent of the rugby game popular in old Sydney Town. However, when the Swans tired, as teams often do when they turn games into ugly defensive contests, Casey lifted the standard of its own play and … it was off to the races. Not to nearby Randwick but to a different race with an objective of piling on goal after goal on the way to a mammoth victory. At the 25-minute mark of the third quarter, the Demons held a slender 14-point lead over the Swans, who are ahead on the ladder of only the previous week's opposition, the ailing Bullants. Forty minutes later, they had more than fully compensated for the sloppiness of their earlier play with a decisive 94-point victory, that culminated in a rousing finish which yielded thirteen unanswered goals. Kicks hit their targets, the ball found itself going through the middle and every player made a contribution.

    • 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?

    • POSTGAME: St. Kilda

      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.
