Decent first quarter. Fantastic first 10 minutes. intensity was there in the 2nd half of that quarter but stupid mistakes let them down. Like not kicking to advantage, going backwards, thinking twice etc. etc.

Overall, our best quarter of the year so far. We still haven't won a quarter this year though.

turnovers still hurting us, however we're working a lot harder than in previous weeks... actually running to provide an option it would seem, something we haven't been doing...

disappointing to surrender the lead at the end there, really should be in front...

BLOODY CRAP SKILLS ARE KILLING US!!!! :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry:

If you can't hit a target, just go away and don't come back.

As much as I love Jones, he cost us two goals. And lets not even mention Carroll... what the hell was that [censored]-weak handball?

Other than that, our pressure is fantastic and we are playing really well. Unfortunately for us, we can't win because we have some of the most craptacular skills in the competition. Still, as long as the effort is there.

By the way, Miller at CHF is doing extremely well. Love his "don't mess with me" burst through the pack.

Quarter-Time

We are six points behind thanks to a couple of late Geelong goals. Having said that, we have been impressive - great intensity but poor disposal. Promising.

Good players so far have been Paul Johnson, Brock McLean, Aussie, Wheatley, Carroll and Neita. Brad Miller has done some good things in the forward half, while Cale Morton and Nugget have both been let down by their poor disposal.

It is not just skills but DECISION MAKING! FFS! FFS!

Jones, meters in the clear, kicking long to WHAT??!?

Wheatley, is the dying seconds, chipping into the middle?

PJ excellent. Miller Good. Aussie, not bad sunshine, not bad at all.

Morton, all he needs is time, confidence and two summers in the gym.

Sylvia should be traded for whatever we can get - christ I'd take a chicko roll at this point. He does stupid things often and good things rarely. Bad ratio.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak

    POSTGAME: Rd 09 vs Carlton

    The Demons were blown out of the water in the first quarter and clawed their way back into the contest but it was a case of too little too late as they lost another close one to Carlton losing by 1 point at the MCG.

    MELBOURNE BUSINESS by The Oracle

    In days of old, this week’s Thursday night AFL match up between the Demons and the Blues would be framed on the basis of the need to redress the fact that Carlton “stole” last year’s semi final away from Melbourne and with it, their hopes for the premiership.  A hot gospelling coach might point out to his charges that they were the better team on the night in all facets and that poor kicking for goal and a couple of lapses at the death cost them what was rightfully theirs. Moreover, now was
