Demons and their last quarters.

WHat a last quarter. Scully has had double figure touches this quarter. Some of them haven't been too crash hot, but still...

Frawley and Warnock have given exactly zero frees against. 13 inside fifties to 12 in favour of the dogs! Our defence have been magnificent.

Nup... he handballed it to the umpire.... ridiculous strip to be wearing... was just one of three occasions in the last quarter alone that players went to the umpire thinking it was a team mate (Bate and Green the others). Plus they over ruled the goal umpire in better position because they 'thought' the player had touched the ball, and they didn't pay Trengove's mark.... other than that they had a pretty good game.

You've got to wonder what the point of having goal umpires is if they don't have the authority to make decisions on goals. That occurred to me after the first bad decision and was rammed home after the second, and in both cases the goal umpire got it right but was vetoed. Horribly frustrating.

Robbed again... cannot get a trick. Umpiring department needs a serious look at themselves.

Get the facts straight. Goal umpire makes the decisions unless he's unsure.

Hoping there's a lot on heat on those decisions during the week.

Can't remember the last time I was this devastated by a loss. We played like we were possessed, and everyone played their hearts out. To have the points taken off us in such a cruel manner because of the incompetence of the AFL is so frustrating and unjust.

Hard to believe I'm saying this, but this and the Collingwood loss might actually cost us a spot in the 8, which in the big scheme of things makes little different to our future progress really. It's a joy going to the football again, and the future is unbelievably bright.

And the way I see it, all these bad decisions which go against us will accumulate into massively good karma and when we finally make a GF all the decisions will go our way :)

We'll [censored] West Coast next week, but rolling interstate sides in 3/4 empty stadium isn't nearly as enjoyable as grinding out a win against another Vic side... Looking forward to Round 11 against Carlton!

A great game by the young kids. I hope Jamie B and Watts watch the attack on the ball shown by Scully and Trengove - they are leading by example. I though the wet conditions normally favour the stronger older bodies?

Jamie B showed he has skill, however he doesn't want the ball enough. A player with his pace should be laying a lot more tackles - have you noticed how he runs around anybody sheperding and almost gives up the chase? He will be a much more valuable player if he can fix this part of his game. Jamie's ability to pick up the ball off the deck was almost as good as Davey tonight and the high mark was superb. With more game time, I think he can be a great HFF.

Warnock and Frawley are becoming great defenders. They both have the pace to keep up with the fast leading forwards, which is what we have been missing in the last couple of years.

With a few more options up forward, we have the making of a great team! Hopefully Morton, Watts and Jurrah can fix this problem!

    HALF FULL by KC from Casey

    It was a case of the Casey Demons going into a game with a glass half full in their match up against the Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields on Saturday. As the list of injured and unavailable AFL and VFL listed players continues to grow and with Melbourne taking all three emergencies to Perth for the weekend on a “just in case” basis, its little brother was always destined to struggle. Casey was left with only eight AFL listed players from who to select their team but only two - an out-of-form

    POSTGAME: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    Many warned that this was a danger game and the Demons were totally outclassed all game by a young Eagles team at Optus Stadium in Perth as they were defeated by 35 points.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have returned to the site of their drought breaking Premiership to take on the West Coast Eagles in what could very well be a danger game for Narrm at Optus Stadium. A win and a percentage boost will keep the Dees in top four contention whilst a loss will cast doubt on the Dees flag credentials and bring them back to the pack fighting for a spot in the 8 as we fast approach the halfway point of the season.

    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
