    Mate just enjoy a win

    There probably won't be too many this year

    And to kick 12.2 under extreme pressure is a fair effort in anyones language

    Cheer up Stuie

    Mate I hope so

    Saw some real commitment all over the ground in the last qtr from all the boys

    Hopefully the boys can take some confidence from this

    Terrible first 3 quarters, but I loved seeing the heart in the last quarter... it shows what we're capable of.

    Even if it is GWS its great to be on the winning end of 12 goals in 1 qtr for once

    Still a lot of hard work to do - I hope for some at the club it confirms that hard work will pay off

    It's a rarity, that's for sure.

    Yeah congratulations boys, you played 1 quarter of football.

    FFS Stuie, they are going to be few and far between, just allow yourself a few hours of enjoying the win. Tomorrow we can conduct the post mortem of what occurred in the middle two quarters

    I'm enjoying the win, and I hope we get some much needed confidence from it, but it just feels a little bit like wallpapering over the cracks you know? I hope it's a turning point, but the first 3 quarters tempered my hopes somewhat.

    Mate spot on

    No one thinks our problems are over now we won 1 game - just a relief and some pressure of the club and no embarrassment for us supporters

    Lack of run and fading in the middle of the games are still big issures for whoever is coach

    We can all hold our heads high tonight though after that last qtr (for a week at least)

    Some would say sacking the coach was doing the same thing

    Enjoy a win mate - next week I am sure we will be arguing again

    I know what you say but we can address the bad tomorrow. Wins will be rare this year but living in Perth I go to work tomorrow after a Dees win and both WA sides losing, that will be even rarer!

    Sure ... If you want to disregard the first 3 quarters then we might even make the finals.

    Like WC last weekend against us?

    FFS. No, we weren't perfect. But we still had a very good win.

  • Quote

    Doesn't matter who they played today it was still the highest scoring quarter in the History of the football club. Conference is a weird thing, all of a sudden you believe. Take that to QLD next week and who knows we might just be 2 and 3

    WC had more than 1 good quarter against us, look at the stats, specifically the uncontested possessions in the first half.

    Fair call mate

    But enjoy that the boys could pull that out of the bag

    People here are willing to bag the coach and the playing group for the losses - How about a little acknowledgement when they preform well?

    No one thinks we are back - but [censored] me the boys and coaching staff showed some guts at 3 qtr time

    We all know our spread sucks, and that's why we NEVER win the uncontested possession. To point to that as a sign that West Coast played great last week is pretty disingenuous.

    Confidence is everything in footy and these blokes have copped it from everyone over the past 3 weeks

    It's easy to drop your head - it's a lot harder to come out and fight...

    As i've said we are not out of the woods - 1 great qtr agains equally poor opposition is not proven success - but let's hope the boys can build 2 qtrs out of what they acheived out of the last qtr today

    I didn't say they played great, I said they played well for more than 1 quarter.

    Can't even enjoy it for 5 mins... Knobs.

    Great effort to keep pushing and working, a long way to go but kept it up running out the game and smashed the last qtr.

    Please be the start of some sort of turn around. I will not get my hopes up.

    • 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.
