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..

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.

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!

  • 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.
