Absolutely [censored] me that Petty and AJ give away some of the most unnecessary free kicks. Unless AJ has a remarkable last 3qtrs, then there's surely no way he plays next week.

JvR actually worried Moore a bit last year so I'd definitely bring him in.

Not enough pressure on the Saints ball carriers. They're moving the ball too easily, leaving our defenders panicking

This.

Our defenders back themselves to close space but they can’t do anything with zero pressure in the forward line and midfield

Play this at the MCG and you get the same turnovers and lack of effort

Suspect that unless there's a rapid improvement it'll be Jeffo or JVR for Petty next week. Not marking is one thing, but getting constantly outworked and pushed off the contest is something else.

He has no body strength in the contest most of the time unless he's on a favourable match up. Not enough to hold down any key forward role at AFL level anyway.

There's no burst speed off the mark either.

That lack of strengh / power off the mark means he is most often unble to get separation to hold / create space or lead up.

Generally he just isn't mobile enough or powerful enough in any form to hold down a KF role and be effective at it.

Not sure what the FD are seeing in him as a KF.

He's also well covered as a Tall Defender by the likes of T-Mac at the moment. I just wouldn't play him at all and instead look to the likes of Jeffo, JVR (if he hits AFL worthy form at some point) as forwards and if we need another tall defender, start blooding Adams instead.

    Don't blame the ground, we're on the [censored] beach right now. Smacked in the middle, smacked in 50-50 balls, some of the weakest efforts going round.

    Classic case of thinking it will all just happen, the overconfidence was on full display when Kozzie decided he was better than the system. Handed the Saints the momentum and barely had an I50 for the rest of the quarter.

    But believe it or not, while the damage should be done it's not quite yet, have to do it the hard way but please come out with fire.

    Bowey gets a shove in the back. Umpire 22 on the spot, play on! Why am I not surprised? 🤮


    Has the game gone past Lever? I feel like he never wins a one on one.

    Tom `Mac for Lever? Hard to see, but bleeding goals/scores with Lever at the moment.

    Goal kicking coach has to be the highest priority at this club.

    skills coach required

    how choc has held onto the role for as long as he has given our regression in ball use beggars belief

    AJ's goal kicking no good

    Not just his goal kicking, all of his kicking. Mr. Spray.

    • 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.
