cant be much time on

[Face Your Demons 175]

5 min 45 sec to go

[Dappa Dan 2,188]

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.

[Nasher 33,617]

Absolutely crushed.

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.

[wonnabeeri 277]

I am gutted.

[saka888 54]

that was FN terrible!

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.

[Disco Demons 92]

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

[3Dee 1,153]

we can make the finals, believe

[Jaded No More 68,974]

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

[wisedog 352]

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!
