Don't worry Ethan it's in the bag!! I'm confident on this one and I'm sure you will relish the opportunity of being boorish, uncouth, unsporting and foul mouthed toward your fellow employees.

Win by a lot and we could move to 9th. I am not giving up on the finals dream!

We needed three quarter time.

You lot are never happy though.  Every game has twists and turns and we tired a little late and they kicked a few.  Big deal.  It's pathetic the way you guys react.

Spot on.

These NT games are [censored]. I'm so unhappy that we are in a position where we have to keep giving up these games for cash. 

Not only do they take it out of you, thereby ensuring you lose the following week, we don't even have a smidge of a home advantage up here.

At least another 4 games in this hot box. 

Better Aussie heat than China heat.

Hopefully that's our one down quarter for the match. Continue like that ...

....and we're cooked. Sad to say I think experience might win for the Dockers from here. Two players down and no more petrol tickets.

Please. All year we've talked about getting a 4 quarter effort. If ever we were going to get that, it should be today. We dominated a half and totally lost the plot in this quarter. 

Its not good enough to let a team you've dominated a sniff at a win. It's just not acceptable.

I know we're a young team but we had absolute domination for 3 and a half quarters but haven't buried them. We need to learn to destroy a teams confidence and make sure the game is buried when we can.

How could we have had absolute dominance for 3 and a half quarters? It's only 3 quarter time.

Totally lost the plot?  It was 4 goals to 2.  No one wins every quarter.  We're a young side and we did it tough in the third term.  That's life.  No need to make a song and dance about it.

Ohhh How I agree with that.  Some on here are upset we have to play again in the NT.  How this game will affect our performance next week.  Maybe, just maybe there might be a bit of management of the players right now????

Well I'm never going to be happy when we dominate play for most of the game but don't put a team away, call me funny that way. I get what you're saying but we started to showboat a bit midway through that quarter instead of doing the team things that got us to where we are.

I watched the last 5min of the Port game in Darwin we won in Darwin by 1pt, we let them back in with that one, hoping we don't repeat history.

    POSTGAME: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    Once again inaccuracy and inefficiency going inside 50 rears it's ugly head as the Demons suffered their second loss on the trot and their fourth loss in five games as they go down to the Pies by 38 points on Kings Birthday at the MCG.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    It's Game Day and the Demons are once again faced with a classic 8 point game against a traditional rival on King's Birthday at the MCG. A famous victory will see them reclaim a place in the Top 8 whereas a loss will be another blow for their finals credentials.

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    PREGAME: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    The Demons head back to Melbourne after an embarrassing loss to the Dockers to take on the Magpies at the MCG on Kings Birthday. With a calf injury to Lachie Hunter and Jacob van Rooyen possibly returning from injury who comes in and who goes out?
