    Roo should have handballed then

    Ya reckon? I thought it was a pretty good pass.

    Fritsch has no physicality and body work to make that work.

    It was a pure one on one and it was a good kick.

    We keep sending our big body forward right up the field but I get it.

    The kid needs to keep getting the ball in his hands to build confidence.

    But Kozzy has to roll back too, so apart from Melksham. We really don't have anyone.

    I'd seriously think about trading Fritsch at end of season. I say it wilth sadness too because he has been great but not for the last two seasons.

    We are so frustrating to watch. Full credit to Melksham. The oldest player and the only one standing up. Another goal!
     

    Melksham set shot. Goal 6 (from set shots)

    That last play there sums up our forward line.

    JVR has an empty goal square and forward line. Fritsch has a team mate streaming towards him.

    Three options:

    1. Fritsch leads hard to space. JVR kicks to him. Clean shot on goal.

    2. Fritsch drags his opponent away or runs off him to create space. JVR even shoots at goal or kicks/handballs to a free Fritsch.

    3. JVR backs himself in and has a shot at goal.

    None of the above happen. Fritsch jogs a lead. JVR does a chip kick 15 meters. Fritsch is spoiled, Crows get it out.

    This team is actually unwatchable.

    Just as I said. Melksham just did exactly what Fritsch doesn't.

    pity melks isn't 5 years younger. our only forward with real smarts


    Can’t win a clearance and can’t tackle. What the actual [censored] has happened to this midfield?


    Umps making sure now

    we need more of what Hibberd brought to our 21 team.

    Yeah, running those straight lines out of defence instead of boundary hugging and handballs

    • 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.
