Played like a team who simply didn't want to be out there today. Field kicking was terrible and our shots on goal worse.
We won't get near the Dogs @ Etihad next week.
But well done Melbourne - really hard at the contest and made Carlton play when you went inside F50.

not all that bad, apparently
Add in a young Jesse Hogan and a second ruck (Max Gawn please), Col Garland down back and we certainly have some talent at either end of the ground. Such a footy tragedy that Clark is gone, could've had something very promising.
Still have the worst midfield in the league probably. But at least Viney and Tyson provide hope and Cross and Vince give the support to Nath Jones that he needs now.
If we keep progressing in a Roos game plan that should be 1 on 1, contested footy and not focus on any special ball movement plan (just a mix of possession and attack, nothing overly technical) then we will get better. This first win is huge. Massive shame we were so ordinary up forward against St Kilda in round 1.

Pretty bad, but still not quite as bad as Carlton.

It was a solid win, albeit against an undermanned side that is down on confidence.
There is however some light on the hill now, with Jamar, Garland and Hogan to come into the side and Toumpas, Trengove, Gawn and Salem in the wings. The season may not be a total disaster after all.

True but Mick swung the axe to make a statement. Waite and Garlett are clearly best 22. Two down on the bench as well.
Still far and away the best effort I've seen from a Melbourne side in a long, long while.

They neglected to mention the "unnamed recruiter" was Phil Scully.
They're bad, but not Carlton bad.

Against a wHAT??????? undermanned???? they just dropped experienced lazy bums if you need to know.. what other BS excuses does one need to lose against a team that have resembled witches hats for much of the last couple of years??? Down on confidence… of ??? they had more SCORING SHOTS FFS!!
Carlton fans have every right to be FILTHY… HEADS may have to keep on rolling because the message simply isn't getting thru.
John 'Mopsy' Rantall was getting less than $40 a game.. still busted his arse back in the day to earn his stripes..
Meanwhile.. the Dee's faithful are lapping it up.. IT's a GRAND OLD FLAG, it's A HIGH FLYING FLAG… it's the emblem for me and for…
Regardless how s**t Carlton were the fact is Melbourne won and should be proud.

I've said elsewhere I wouldn't be shocked if they make the finals in Roos' 3rd year.
How recently did Port lose to GWS? There were some people who would have gussed that Port would be dead by now, not beating teams by 100 points.
I believe any team can go from rock bottom to the finals in 3 years if they make enough good decisions. Melbourne included.

Melbourne haven't looked like 'witches hats' at all this year. Skills have been poor but Roosy is only giving games to the blokes that are putting in the hard yards.

"clearly' is an overstatement.
Waite could well be in the top 10 most over paid, over-rated, under performed, dumbest, worst bloke, crappest joke in VFL/AFL history.
His dad must have been a genuinely great player because his son has dined out on his dads reputation for 14 years. JOKE.
