    Won the quarter, but it's the dogs at half time.

    Demons 3.9 - 27

    Dogs 5.5 - 35

    We probably deserve to be in this game. All the Dogs need is a 10-15 minute passage where their forwards start working properly and they'll kick away. That said, many the KPI are in our favour. Touches particularly.

    In our bests? Trengove (18) Scully (16) and Grimes (14) had fantastic first halves. Some of the older heads bobbed up here and there. I can't tell but it seems like Bruce might be playing ok. Davey doing a bit without owning the game. Frawley playing well despite a few mistakes. Rivers seems to be doing a bit too, though the weather is probably helping him.

    The Demons-Dogs shootout hasn't happened, but only because of the weather and not for lack of effort!

    Half time

    3.9 Dees 5.5 Bullflogs

    What a waste..

    The youngins' Sculgove our best players..that speaks volumes to me.

    We're still in it tho.. somehow. If Sly Green Dav Molly J-mac Johnno and other seniors get their sh!t together, we might stay in it.

    1st goal after 1/2 time is imperative.

    EDIT: Grimes at only 14 possies there MM.. he's been ok

    So Bate lifted? He'll need to if we're to win.

    The player who needs to come into the game? Sylvia. He's been poor. Maybe give him a run through the midfield? Give the forwards more space to move?

    Can someone let us know what's happening in the ruck? What game time is Jamar getting, and where? Has he gone forward? How much time has PJ played?

    This weather sucks. We get one Friday night game and it's pouring. Bloody hell.

    The air is moist so I can just imagine how bad the ground and ball are.

    We've got nobody to blame but ourselves for being behind. We've missed shots on goal that we should have got. Lynden Dunn is enemy of the state number one.

    It took us a while but I think we realise now that we can't bomb it long in these conditions, despite the morons around me yelling "kick it long" at every opportunity and cheering for bombs that end up with the opposition.

    Let's hope we continue to move it well by hand.

    Scullgove are freaking awesome and Bennell's goal was surely goal of the year thus far.

    Here is to a better second half. Go Dees!

    Jamar's rucked most of the match with PJ pinch hitting for short periods. Too hard to know what's happening off the ball on TV, but I don't get the impression either of them have spent any significant time forward.

    PJ is a wasted inclusion in these conditions. Should have gone another small like Jetta.

    blame that goal on bennell... thinks he is taking a stroll in the park

    Our defence, and many of our midfielders are keeping us in this game.

    Our forwards sound like they're playing 2008 footy. Sylvia getting smashed by Morris.

    We just need a couple of inspirational players forward. I reckon Sylvia has to be moved up the ground to get his hand on the ball.

    Thanks for that.

    Yup. Just one more nippy running player. Interesting though that we dropped a defender this week, but the defence has been solid.

    How's McKenzie playing?

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
