    Richmond are getting slaughtered and Freo not much better this week. If  only we beat sides like Freo and Richmond like we should have. Two huge FU's. Could cost us bad come finals time.  Concede 16 goals to a side that averages less than 10 a game since begining of last season and conceding a 4 goal final quarter lead in a wet night game. How often does that happen? 

    Put a fit Smith and Spencer back on the ground after half time and we would have won by 5 goals against Richmond.

    We have to go to Adelaide in a  couple of weeks....  Sam Jacobs is going to murder us.

    How good are the Crows?  They are a seriously formidable football side.

    Richmond are who we thought they were.  Pretenders.  Top of the table clash and they are totally blown off the park.  Give it a few weeks and they'll be ninth again.

    Well they were not on the ground and we lost. That's football. Just ridiculous. Could have, should have. Sounds like those in life trying to justify their past disappointments and failures. It's life.

    I haven't been watching this game.

    Adelaide taking serious advantage of a tired Richmond?

    Or just Adelaide that much better then everyone else right now bar maybe GWS?

    Let's keep our powder dry until we play the Crows in 2 weeks.  Most sides are being slaughtered by the Crows.

    I won't be going in with many expectations against the Crows over there. 

    But you would think a side that is 5-0 and being talked up by all and sundry would put in a better performance than this.

    Yes, agree Wise. Definitely overrated.

    Adelaide are amazing.  They show no mercy.  They play like a team possessed and never give the ops a look in.

    So Rich % has taken a huge beating and they have slipped to 4th. 

    They have no 'gimme' games coming up in the next month.   Who knows how far (down) the slippery slope they go...to 9th perhaps...

    Teams that jump out of the blocks with a such a free wheeling high scoring attacking game usually run out of steam at some stage of the season. If we can apply our best pressure like we can and have demonstrated in many quarters we have some chance.

    Then they all become homeless and start offering themselves up to strangers in the streets for a bowl of soup.It's an inevitable decline and a poignant reminder of Newtonian physics.

    Tiges are PUTRID overated, hacks!! Cotchin SOFT, Riewoldt selfish bigheaded sook, Rance overated and Prestia dreadfully inept. Loved watching this  mob get thrashed and should have gone down by more!!  Crows had 20 ore scoring shots on goal 20!!!

    I'm not a betting man on footy, but I`d be all over the $1.38 Crownbet are offering for the Dogs against the Tiges. Absolute monties!

    We are $1.45 favourite just quietly!

    Would normally watch the game live. Instead, followed on a website that had twitter feed. It may well be me (accustomed to a diet of very funny Demonlanders, BBO, Biffen, ET et al)  but when did Titus O'Reilly's shtick become so shite? Yes, I'm sure many love him, he's a Dee etc.

    Hogan should model his game on Taylor Walker - not just the way he plays but the way he became an incredible leader.

    I reckon Jesse will follow a similar path.

    If only he kicked like Taylor Walker.

    Richmond forum is hilarious.  They all want Prestia dropped and are crying about his contract.

    We have so much to learn from those cultured gentlemen in the Middle East. 

    Are Australian born whites are so cringe worthy ?

    Stop hating your own fellow citizens .

    The Western masochistic tendency really annoys me.

    We are a magnificent and advanced civilisation .

    Knock those cultures who have contributed zero to the globe .

    They are plentiful and they want to move here.

    White guys are cool.

    You went to so much trouble with your response, yet I was merely pointing out that the real western suburbs in Sydney are mostly populated by what you term "white guys" (the wildest being your bogan)... the most multi cultural areas are closer to the city in what is termed the inner west.

    Probably more often than not when you're down to 2 on the bench with a further 2-3 injured on the ground.

    It's the Fremantle and, to a slightly lesser extent, the Geelong games we should be most disappointed with.

    • 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.
