POST MATCH DISCUSSION

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)

I think he was putting 91 into the Reality Bus when it was needing diesel.

 

A win is a win and ill take it.

But let's be honest the dogs were crap for 3 qtrs and smashed us in the last... Why we couldn't stem the bleeding was a worry.

I liked the style of footy we played, and I hope it continues.

Few points:

Watts is as good as people said he was, 4 goals and a match winning mark... I've been waiting for this.

Nicho played really well but as someone said Griffen finished with 2 last qtr goals and had his own ball out there...

Fitzy will come on, he is starting to find his feet...

Lastly a win is a win but I hope that they can identify why they couldn't stop the dogs in the last.

 

It’s a grand old flag

It’s a high flying flag

It’s the emblem for me and for you

It’s the emblem of the team we love

The team of the Red and the Blue

Ev’ry heart beats true

For the Red and the Blue

And we sing this song to you (What do we sing!)

Should old acquaintance be forgot

Keep your eye on the Red and the Blue

So good to have a win. Go Dee's!


if Tom McDonald was shares id say buy buy buy, This kid is on the rise dont you worry.

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.

Neeld would have been happy with a 5 goal loss.

that a nice birthday prezzie , almost forgot about busted rib and bad cough , grrrr , but its so good to have a victory grouse

 

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.

Gawn was stuffed and Frawley had to Rev him up just to get him into the centre Square for the bounce.


WWWAAAATTTTSSSS!!!

Did i see right or was it ths beer i was drinking at the pub, but he seem to really attack the ball and the man

I reckon we should be absolutely stoked. we beat a real team, not a development team. Fantastic to get the win and beautiful first three quarters. Jack Watts won us the game to be honest, mark in the last quarter, 4 goals wowweeeeeee

assess during the week the last quarter fadeout

2 words.

Jess Hogan.

They're nouns.


Did M. Night Shamalan write that game thread.

Like going inside the head of self-loathing schizophrenic.

Happily we played three quarters of footy. Enjoy it. Wins are hard, whether you come from behind or stay in front at the death.

I agree, they experienced getting run over without actually losing.

North would have lost. These things become a habit. We held on against a massive tide. It may have been luck but it is important they feel they can do it.

Its been a great day for the demons,

Hogan fires, and the girls and boys win.

Geez it feels good to barrack for the Melbourne FC for a change.

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.

Nah, 2 or 3 wins this season??? still very much priority pick prospect. We could do with one.


I agree. A win is a win. If we were a good side we could afford to be apathetic about, or even disgusted with that win, but we're not.

It is what it is hey. I'm just calling on everybody to chill out.

I know i am repeating this as it needs to be said again as he has attacked a dee hard nut.

Tony Shaw is a FAR#KNG butt face

He accused NJones of dropping the knees and diving forward when he got he free kick inside 50.

Don't worry about the 2 other players on his BACK you doppy, ill informed, overrated spud nuckle.

U r a disgrace

Good to see Neil Craig say some positive things about Jack Watts on the press conference. Needs to be built up, not torn down.

 

happy with the win,but its a thing with our players, they seem to take the foot off the pedal after a good patch in every game, after we kicked three goals in a row in the last and were up 44 points, our player start slapping each other on the back, then we relax as a group, this happens every week.

Oh and we won the disposal count by 5. First time this year. Who would have thought that a correlation exists between getting and keeping the footy and winning games.

  • 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.
