Playing corridor footy with the MFC list against better teams = Despondency

    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

    we're going to have defend the corridor better or we're looking at a shellacking here

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

    • CASEY: Southport

      The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

    • PREGAME: Sydney

      Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?

    • GAMEDAY: Brisbane

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are back on the road with a massive challenge ahead — facing the reigning premiers, the Brisbane Lions, at their Gabba fortress. The Lions are licking their wounds after a shock draw in Tasmania last week, while Melbourne’s season hangs in the balance. Can the Dees defy the odds and pull off a miracle to keep their razor thin finals hopes alive?
