    What I have been saying for months

    2-3 is football speak for 426

    From Day 1 of this injury I have been saying expect nothing before May.

    Got shouted at but it looks like a certainty now.

    Am I say I told you so.

    YES

    Moving the conversation away from our impotent forward line, I was impressed with our ability across the middle - both offensively and defensively. If we can take our time going forward (or move the ball very, very quickly) we can be damaging and actually score goals.

    Although 21 scoring shots from 47 Inside 50s isn't terrible.

    Ok, I think it is time to move on from the injury list to the game itself.

    I agree 15 goals 6 would have improved my humour considerably

    I seem to remember Misson saying Clark was 4-6 weeks.

    Doesn't look promising when he has been sent up to the AIS to help sort his calf out - queens bday match is my prediction.

    Sounding like Shuey will miss. Could take a goal or two off the loss.

    I think u might be talking about Dawes there Wormburner.

    Anytime this season would be a bonus.

    I think you mean Dawes

    Anyone like the idea of Viney as a Sub?

    If not, Casey has the bye and he won't play at all.

    I don't think it would hurt if he has a run around for the last 35 - 40 minutes V WCE when the fizz has gone out of the contest.

    Then have him primed for a starting role V GWS.

    Simpson confident he'll play.

    I get the impression West Coast will err on the side of risk, as they are despearte to start 3-0 before a tough encounter V Geelong at Simmonds.

    • 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.
