If it was in play and marked it would have been called play on. Makes no sense to review the score because it went through the goal posts.

Hogan is a gun down back. I remember watching him for WA and just assumed he was a back man. I was surprised when he came out and started dominating up forward for us. If he plays down back, he is our best back man, I have no doubt about that. Of course I would prefer him up forward, but it was a good move to shift him back in that quarter, and it is a good ace to have up the sleeve. Watts and Hogan can swing position and swing games.

We just didn't handle the rise in tempo, half time should give us a chance to reset, we're clearly the better team, 4 of their 6 goals have come on the back of our mistakes, tidy them up and i can't see them even getting close to us.

Nice 'hang time' kick by Hogan late - super intelligent play.  Roos is using Hogan well too ... get him in the play to help shift the momentum.  Hogan is not just a key forward - he can play anywhere.

Kept that 5 goal lead from the first quarter ... and we would have taken that at quarter time.  We kick the first couple in the 3rd quarter and it's all over ... need a knockout punch.

Wagner, Harmes & Bugg have contributed well ... Frost & Hunt have done a few nice things too.

Dom Tyson played an amazing first quarter but has been well held since then! 10 touches and a goal in the first and now he's what 13-14 touches. 

with them watching him Jones and Viney have been able to get onto the ball a bit more

Jones has played well. Viney got some vital clearances in that second quarter.

Turnovers and skill errors are what's standing between us being also-rans and being a consistently decent team.. Will come with time and experience, but still frustrating when it happens.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last

    LIFE SUPPORT by Whispering Jack

    With Melbourne’s season hanging on a thread, Saturday night’s game against North Melbourne unfolded like a scene in a hospital emergency department.  The patient presented to the ward in a bad way. Doctors and nurses pumped life-saving medication into his body and, in the ensuing half hour, he responded with blood returning to his cheeks as he stirred back to life. After a slight relapse, the nurses pumped further medication into the bloodstream and the prognosis started looking good as the

    GAMEDAY: Rd 15 vs North Melbourne

    It's Game Day and it very well could be the last roll of the dice for the Demon's finals aspirations in 2024. A loss to the bottom side would be another embarrassing moment in a cursed year for the Dees whilst a win could be the spark they need to reignite the fire in the belly.
