    Game will be over by halftime. Backline is weak as water.

    backline is less of an issue than the complete lack of pressure put on by mids and half-forwards

    their movement thru the corridor is completely unimpeded

    Geez May just stopped and watched opponents run past him a couple of times in that quarter.

    And....still yells at his team mates for not covering the space.

    Dead set

    The problem is the turn over up the ground and lack of pressure back toward them.

    Very good teams like Brisbane have the ability to rip open games very quickly. We would want to stop the momentum quickly after quarter time or this could get worse than Essendons performance last night.

    Contest and offence is alright, not amazing but alright, but gee our defence is horrendous.

    Cannot defend transition for the life of us.

    Hard to know from the tv what’s going on in defence, I suspect they are able to get an extra and use it the whole way down the ground ending in what looks like a loose player inside 50

    i don't get why sparrow is not doing this

    Perhaps because Oliver is a bit lost and it gives him a role.

    • GAMEDAY: St. Kilda

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      It seems like only yesterday that these two sides faced off against each other in the centre of the continent. It was when Melbourne was experiencing a rare period of success with five wins from its previous six matches including victories over both of last year’s grand finalists.  Well, it wasn’t yesterday but it was early last month and it remains etched clearly in the memory. The Saints were going through a slump and the predicted outcome of their encounter at TIO Traeger Park was a virtual no-brainer. A Melbourne victory and another step closer to a possible rise into finals contention. Something that was unthinkable after opening the season with five straight defeats.

    • 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.
