Gawn and Petracca senior leaders missing relative sitters (Tracs a bit harder but should be nailing those) absolutely kill us. Not good enough.

Chandler burning Fritsch open in the pocket. Not good enough.

Pressure for 2nd quarter back to rubbish levels. Not good enough.

They deserve a rocket at halftime.

    With how putrid we are at defending fast ball movement, I'm surprised we've won a game tbh.


    I'm not one to do my block but that was disgraceful. All that effort to set up chances and then laziness, sloppy work, even arrogance. They need the biggest spray of all time.

    Terrible game of footy. Half time score in good conditions what decent sides would post in a quarter.

    Our inability to capitalise on this clearance dominance is ridiculous.

    Watch Reid kick three in the second half just to add insult to injury.

    Did not take our chances. Then played liked heroes expecting it would come with half ar$sed efforts. Then a slight lift in pressure from a C grade team and senior players start to panic with the ball. So Melbourne.

    Playing one tall forward in Petty which is no tall forward when he chops out in the ruck is up there with one of Goodwins worst selection decisions.

    Be hard to win now they have their tails up. Over there its a different kettle of fish. Once you give them a sniff at home - its hard to swing back momentum. We wont win now. They kicked 6 points before they kicked a goal, then kicked 4, lucky for us Reid missed a gimme. Gawn playing well, Tracc playing well, Langford dominating, Windsor started well. Rivers sh*thouse, Tholstrup hopeless, Melksham - please retire.

    The Eagles just playing man on man ....

    That's enough to get on top of us and turn the match

    This reminds me of my fuel gauge when I was on the dole.

    No run and carry from our backline and our fwd line still stinks.

    Fritta and Petty just ain't up to it. At least tonight.

    Despite all the criticism of Oliver , we could certainly use him tonight because Kozzie and Viney ain't the answer today.

    Our transition into ourvfwd line in the first was fast and direct.

    That quarter was just indecisive and slow and into a quagmire.

    What has happened to the new gameplan

    That second quarter was the worst I have seen in decades.

    Goodwin either has no idea of a game plan, and / or cannot inspire his players. Either way he needs to join Dutton in retirement.

    That was a poor last 10 minutes but the umpiring in this game is an absolute disgrace. If we get within 40m of goal its an automatic free to the Weagles. First quarter we had their backmen cold dropping the ball, play on, for us Tholstrup and Pickett dropping the ball the latter an unbelievable decision. The non frees in front of goal and frees to them are to me cheating and not umpiring in the moment, I'm over it. add our poor kicking for goal and ridiculous unrealistic marking attempts forward and it is unwatchable.

    Followed by the 4th quarter where we are like 30-250 or whatever so far this season.

    • 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.
