We play Sydney next week and whilst we may struggle a bit it is not that long ago that we beat them in Melbourne one Sunday afternoon. Let’s hope Goodes doesn’t play.

I think our fitness could be a problem based on the last quarter.

    Dan Nicholson detractors please eat your hats!

    He played ok, but Griffen still had 31 touches and 3 goals... Wouldn't talk up his performance too much.

    Glad to see Watts have a really good game and stand up when we needed it!

    Wow now my heart rate has come back down to normal I have to change my jocks.

    We ran out of legs which is understandable given how young we are and how experienced the Dog's midfield is.

    Not a good way to finish but my god we dominated for three quarters. Sweet baby Jesus that is a huge effort.

    We won. Watts was enormous. Enjoy it.

    GO DEES!!!!

    Mark Neeld sucked the life out if this list.

    Neil Craig just might get it back.

    We won tonight thankfully. The belief will come.

    Mark Neeld what the F did you do for 18 months???????

    The umpires almost cost us the game by giving the Dogs free kick for Out on the full when it came off a Dog players leg, they goit a goal and cut the margin to 2 points.

    Absolutely disgraceful effort by the maggots.

    Great win, we are in much better shape than the Dogs who have absolutely no KPP's on their list that are worth a damn.

    Great to see Gawny towel up that Minson loser.

    I was at a work function at the pub, watching the tv with no commentry.

    It seemed that was Jack Watts best game ? any thoughts

    Tom mcdonald has got to be the worst player. He is so indecisive and he usually picks the worst decision out of all of the options. Hyped because he can run but seriously, we can't go forward with him in the team

    Oh Freak, how I've missed your terribly wrong player assessments.

    Well.. I'm going to say it. The massive blunder by the boundary umpire giving the out on the full free kick to the Dogs cost us the momentum in the last quarter. For all the things that went our way tonight it makes me very angry.

    Fitzpatrick is fun to watch and could be a player

    i wish Watts was better overhead, but played well

    Gawn will be very good but needs to work on strength and endurance

    Love Terlich

    To me, that Jack Watts mark in the backline in the dying seconds kind of validates the time he spent down there over the past few years. To be able to do that as a forward (probably without having been instructed to do so) will be very handy in the coming years.

    This might sound crazy but that last quarter might be good for them. The game is never won.

    I agree, they experienced getting run over without actually losing. While we would all agree that we would prefer to have won by 10 goals, they will definitely remember this next time. Really liked Jack T's interview with Hall as well, as a side note.

    Bloody oath. Not only was the free given to the incorrect team, it hit the bulldog's knee anyway; so the umpire got it wrong twice in the same free kick. Good going ump!

    My take tonight is the Neeld Melbourne would have been beaten comfortably, Under Craig, we dominated and the bulldogs pulled out all stops to beat us and we hung on.

    its a big difference.

    We looked a totally different team to the one ive seen under Neeld.

  • Quote

    We will improve even more under Roos.

    Geelong/Sydney production line = A1 coaches who get the best out of their players.

    Nothing wrong with Craig, players are driving without the handbrake on (Neeld)

    Melbourne win a game of footy and this is your first post in eight months. Tom McDonald is coming off a career best game against Riewoldt. Missed you Freak. Pure gold..

    When I initially saw it it looked like it came of the dees player but that was because of the angle it was shown on.

    After the replay it clearly showed it was a dogs player.

    We are dam lucky we got home by 3 points otherwise I would have had a massive hissy fit.

    Just lost the priority pick.

    We dominated that game, but for the final quarter.

    Would've necked myself, and possibly a few others, if we lost that one.

    I feel numb. But relieved. And maybe even a bit happy.

    Ron I hope the PP is a non issue and we keep improving to win a few more games for the season. If we sort the development out we'll still get pick 2 & somewhere around Picks 20, 38, 54 & with signs of improvement I'd look at snaring a FA & someone like Taylor Adams in the PSD.

    Hope you enjoy the win, Casey, West Perth & Melbourne all in one day!

    Gawn was shot in the last and Minson and the dogs mids sensed it. They just ran forward of the ball and it all started from there. Its hard for a team to know how to protect a lead when they never lead.

    Build on the first three quarters, learn from the last.

    Great work by Gawn. But he was out of energy in the last quarter and Minsons ruck work was a major part of their comeback. Griffen and Cooney were incedible in that last 15 min.

    Good to see that Fitzy might actually be alright when our delivery is better. He looked a lot less nervous tonight.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      There was a time during the current Melbourne cycle that goes back to before the premiership when the club was the toughest to beat in the fourth quarter. The Demons were not only hard to beat at any time but it was virtually impossible to get the better them when scores were close at three quarter time. It was only three or four years ago but they were fit, strong and resilient in body and mind. Sadly, those days are over. This has been the case since the club fell off its pedestal about 12 months ago after it beat Geelong and then lost to Carlton. In both instances, Melbourne put together strong, stirring final quarters, one that resulted in victory, the other, in defeat. Since then, the drop off has been dramatic to the point where it can neither pull off victory in close matches, nor can it even go down in defeat  gallantly.

    • CASEY: Footscray

      At twenty-four minutes into the third term of the game between the Casey Demons and Footscray VFL at Whitten Oval, the visitors were coasting. They were winning all over the ground, had the ascendancy in the ruck battles and held a 26 point lead on a day perfect for football. What could go wrong? Everything. The Bulldogs moved into overdrive in the last five minutes of the term and booted three straight goals to reduce the margin to a highly retrievable eight points at the last break. Bouyed by that effort, their confidence was on a high level during the interval and they ran all over the despondent Demons and kicked another five goals to lead by a comfortable margin of four goals deep into the final term before Paddy Cross kicked a couple of too late goals for a despondent Casey. A testament to their lack of pressure in the latter stages of the game was the fact that Footscray’s last ten scoring shots were nine goals and one rushed behind. Things might have been different for the Demons who went into the game after last week’s bye with 12 AFL listed players. Blake Howes was held over for the AFL game but two others, Jack Billings and Taj Woewodin (not officially listed as injured) were also missing and they could have been handy at the end. Another mystery of the current VFL system.

    • PREGAME: Brisbane

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.
