    If anybody's there i'd love to know how we're scoring... are they set shots or cramped, rushed snaps? We had 3 behinds before Essendon even scored.

    I think you can get updates off the demons twitter here.

    Would be nice to get some other reports. I cant find anything else!

    1 Qtr

    Opening bounce here at Visy Park. Dees win toss and kick towards the Legends Stand
    Dees playing attacking positive football, but have yet to take advantage on scoreboard kicking 3 behinds to the bombers nil.
    Dees wasting opportunities in front of goal kicking 4 behinds to the bombers 2 goals.
    Bombers kick another - Dees 0.5.5 to Ess 4.1.25
    Jones kicks the Dees first major – 1.5.11 to 6.1.37
    Grimes kicks a nice goal with only seconds remaining in the first quarter

    Demons 2.5.17

    Bombers 6.1.37

    Dees got better as the quarter continued. Sylvia with a few

    classy touches, so too Grimes.

    Need to keep moving the ball quickly through the midfield.

    # End of Q1 - Dees playing patches of good footy. Need to convert in front of goal. 2.6.18 to 6.1.37 less than 5 seconds ago via web

    Another great start. And Bailey has spoken about how important our first quarters will be! thats 0 from 2 and nowhere near competitive in either :mad:

    Are you at the game? 8 scoring shots to 7 suggests that we weren't really blown out of the water that quarter. It is a practice game FFS and we have a bunch of kids out there. Take it easy or your going to be in a padded room by round 5.

    I don't care about the score I just want to read that they are playing attacking, positive football. It's only a practice match and Essendon's squad looked a lot stronger than ours.

    Well said!

    Also try this for updates. It's an Essendon site so the focus is on then but it is useful.

    Yeah, fair point!

    Bombers kick an easy one through through

    their Davey. Pressure still not quite there.

    Jamar looking strong in the ruck.

    What role is Gysberts playing.

    Any updates on SculGrove?

  • Quote

    Just quietly I had a look at their game against the Wet Toast (alright, alright, I wanted to see NicNat's game), and I reckon if we go down to these guys there's no shame in it. They're undermanned in a few places, which is why they're not winning a flag this year, but they move the ball a HELL of a lot better than we do, with way more confidence and pace. Going on both teams' games last week I can't see us getting within 5 goals of these guys, so I reckon this is about par so far.

    Gysbets is playing on the wing.. He's no standout but he's probably done more than Brock last week already.. You can see why we recruited

    him.. Cols probably our best player.. Our foward line resembles

    Jurrah hasn't kicked a goal yet. Has he done anything?

    A couple of terrible terrible misses on goal

    from big Stef and Maric. 26 points down at half time, should be a couple of goals less.

    Sylvia has taken a few outstanding marks in damp conditions. Jack Grimes moving

    with confidence.

    Jurrah seems to have lost confidence. Just needs a couple of clean touches and he'll start back here he left off last year.

    Think we can win the second half, which would be an

    improvement.

    So once again our kicking for goal seems atrociuos, but as I'm not there I'd like to know, is there a swirly wind? Have they been set shots missed, long attempts etc and who has missed the shots?

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Western Bulldogs

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
