I have tried every which way to consider how we can find a win.....very very hard to see it happening.

Need a few players to play career best football.  Winning the contested ball won't be enough.

All we need is for Jones Tyson and Viney to perform and we win. They don't need career best. They just need to find a way to control the tempo. That's what the primary difference between last week's game and our previous three wins against the Tigers. This trio has been an afterthought the past 3 weeks. Jones especially needs to step up.

The mids are still strong, it will be won here.

Lol, do it now as we have come in and the bombers have drifted in betting.

According to the afl match centre betting odds...we are actually starting favourites..us 1.88 to visitors 1.96? WTF??

 

Essendon's sense of self-worth is nauseating. God I hope we smash them.

It's come very late. Maybe the five day break. Money normally knows. Fingers crossed.

 

Essendon trying it on again with all the daniher bros on the ground to gee up the crowd. They pulled some stunt against us last year and it seemed to work. Hope it falls flat today.

The fact that we have been competiive in all 5 games maybe

Same old story, dominate the ball, opposition kick the first goal. 

And we get the second.

Benny Hill esque stuff

So it's 4 scoring shots to 2, 8 inside 50s to 5, 57 disposals to 47, 11 tackles to 7, but we lead by just 2 points.

That reads like a standard 2017 MFC start.

So if TMac is rucking, is Frost on Daniher? And OMac on Hooker?

Yeah i think that's what the commentators mentioned, they said frost on daniher

  • 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?

  • POSTGAME: Hawthorn

    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.
