    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.

    I'm liking the look of gysbets game so far

    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.

  • Quote

    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?

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Fremantle

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
