Tracc has to have the worst awareness of any of our players, how many times does he kick into an oppo player for a spoil!!!!!?????

    Viney has lifted this quarter. He has been impressive

    I’ll be shocked if he doesn’t miss next week for that tackle of Rowell. Lucky Rowell has the head of a rock.

    Loved the review of the point. Clearly play on but a clear throw 1 m from our goals

    Yep very poor!


    Regardless of the first quarter, going to be uphill with 2 men down, especially as one was our back-up ruck.

    I soiled myself a few times in that opening quarter.

    No matter what the outcome that first quarter lack of effort was totally inexcusable. We basically threw the game away then.

    He’s just a horrendous ball user, for someone so powerful he should be a weapon with baulks and changes of direction, not to mention taking tacklers on to release to free opponents.

    If he doesn’t have a straight line to goal he’s practically useless

    you can cancel out the first quarter. No one was getting a possession in the forward line

    Gonna be annoyed when Max Gawn trots out the old "We can't be giving up 6 goal starts to teams," line again after this game. No s-- Sherlock. As captain what are you doing about it?

    Trying is heart out, as usual….. 🤔

    But Rowell not forced off for a HIA check

    Good quarter.

    Shame we were sound asleep in the first.

    The umps were not as heavy on the whistle and it showed.

    Actually missed a few opportunities with Tracca burning a few but he was good on other areas.

    Well down in marks but at least we showed some intent finally.

    Need more from Fritta and Sparrow.

    Really getting tired of the same script every week. If it isn’t inaccuracy, it is slow starts that eventually kills us.

    Slow starts against St Kilda, Essendon, Geelong cost us the eventual match after trying extra hard to get back into the contest. Looking like another slow start will cost us again today.

    Such a frustrating “nearly” season. Could have been top 4 best case scenario.

    A decent quater from Melbourne work rate wise and some in-roads made.

    I could have and probably should be another goal or two better though. If you're one of those people than gives us a pass and bemoans bad luck then more power to you. Salem's pass then Melksham wasn't quite able to mark, Trac's brilliant intercept followed up by kicking it 2 metres into the man in front of him, good teams don't do these things on a regular basis.

    You need to create your own luck in this game. Instead of Clarry sitting on King's back in defensive 50 and whinging about it you need to be first to the ball so some spud from the other team can make that mistake.

    Probably not skilled enough to mount a serious challenge today but might see some good stuff if we stick with the process and attack the middle.

    And what's he doing before the game to motivate his team to switch on? What's he doing during the week. We all love Max but he has been captain the entire time we've nosedived since 2023. "Trying his heart out" is for followers, not leaders.

    Viney being a difference maker when he’s all but shot as a player is an indictment on our midfield group. Especially Oliver.

    Same for Melk forward really. Although they’ve hardly had a chance.

    Gold Coast's pressure has been elite the whole game. Hopefully they have a bit of a drop off.

    • 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.
