AFL Round 4 - Non MFC Games (2017)

What
in Melbourne Demons

Featured Replies

At the moment we're playing much better footy than both of these clubs.  We've been cleaner, quicker and hunted the ball better to this point.  The Dogs are clearly suffering from a large case of 'premiership hangover' and the fact the other 17 clubs are far more wiser about how they play.  It will be interesting to see how they respond in the second half and in the coming weeks.

Cloke isn't really working for them at the moment, either.  He's kicked a few goals but he doesn't have a huge impact outside of that.

Edit - North are also winning the free kick count 15-6 at half time.  What are the Dogs to do when they don't win the free kick count?

    If the Bulldogs lose this, that may be important for our own finals aspirations. The Roos won't threaten this season, so I don't mind them winning one.

    agree... not a great ad for football

    Do they tender out this game next year, or is it a lock for Nth v Dogs?

    Dogs remind me of the hawks, won a flag ahead of schedule and still need to mature, don't think they'll be there again this year 

    crows and giants are the standout teams for me

    Agreed. I'll be intrigued to see how the Crows play teams on the G. I could see us beating them there. We gave them a good run for their money last year.

    It's shaping as a season (a bit like 2005 and 2006), where anyone could win it and there is no team that would fit the term 'powerhouse'.

    I think the giants are the clear best team but they're a little arrogant and in a hard tough final that may cost them

    Agreed, shades of 2009 Hawks. Playing like they own the place and not willing to win the hard ball

    I really don't like North Melbourne.
    Docklands closed roof millionaires, but with the added disincentive of Lindsay Thomas.

    If the Dogs win this there'll be top 4. Top 4 sides win games like this even when they've been so poor.

    And then the kick on the siren. I just laughed.

    Much better second half.  

    Lindsay Thomas cost them the game with his kick that landed on the chest of Johannisen.  Should have put it to the top of the square.  North are 0-4 and I don't think any AFL fan will feel sorry for them.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
