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.

danny ducking hughes you beauty

Scully 34 possies! A few mistakes, but absolutely brilliant in general..

Oh oh Dogs goal, dees only 3 pts up now..

minute and a half to go.

Dogs by 4 points.

Wow. That's the second time this season.

BS goal.. Bartram couldve done better..

We're a few pts down now..

Gone. 4 pt loss.

'[censored] that sux' and 'im heaps proud' all at the same time.

Edited by DemonDan...


screwed out of two wins byt the bloody umpires. ridiculous.

Our challenge now is to start convert our chances more often. That first quarter is how we lost it.

Heartbreaking again. 2 games by less than a kick. We should be top 4.

BS goal.. Bartram couldve done better..

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.


bartram should have got a free kick before they kicked that goal...bull [censored]..was sitting behind the goals

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!

  • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

    When the Demons blew their 46-point lead at Marvel Stadium in Round 20 last year, the fallout was enormous. Like an event straight out of a Shakespearean tragedy, Melbourne’s final-quarter collapse left fans reeling and the club grappling with the aftermath.

  • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

    Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

  • REPORT: Richmond

    Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.
