My dislike for Ess knows no bounds.  So of all games this year this is the one I desperately wanted us to win. 

And we did - without 2 of our best players.  A real four quarter effort. 

So proud we rose above all the setbacks.

A win that will be a huge confidence boost for the team.

Demons take a bow.

    Back in the 8, 108.4% which is good.

    ive erased the first half of the game as it was the freaking pits.

    vineys second half was pleasing, hope it continues on to next week.

    We smashed the drug cheats.  Oh what a feeling.

    14 goals combined from Petracca, Watts, Garlett and Hannan.  Delicious.

    Happy to win but geez way too many turnovers. 

    Need to massively improve if we r to get into the finals.

    Hated: Most of the game. Melksham. JKH. ANB. No Kent. 

     

    Loved: Pedo, love a good Pedo. Petracca. Oli<3r. Watts (gun). Beating those [censored].

    It just shows how when we play direct instead of handpassing in circles all the time we look so much better.

    Viney breaking the lines in the third quarter was a huge reason we won.

    A lot to work on and a lot of players had shocking days, but great to get a win.

    I think we need to all pretend the first half didn't happen.  

    Second half was the Melbourne we've seen this year.  Much better efficiency going forward today, and to see Watts, Trac and Garlett snaffle 11 goals between them is proof of that.

    Our midfield stood up well and Pedersen got better and better as the game went on.

    JKH had a mare and looks way off the pace, ANB was quiet and Melksham has his moments - he might not be the best player but he certainly did his job on their small defenders who had no influence at all when the game was on the line.  That's easily forgotten.

    Would love to back it up again next week with a win over Whorethorn.  What a double that would be.

    Important 4 points. There will be 3 finals spots up for grabs this year. Port are certainties to grab one, leaving Richmond, St.Kilda, maybe a wildcard and us to fight for the other two. Clearly Essendon won't be one.

    Oliver, 3x the disposals of Parish. And I thought he had a quietish game. Freak.

    Tom McDonald and Tyson will cost us a final one day with their poor kicking. Petracca will win us more than one.

    About time Daniher spudded it up against us. He would have kicked 7.0 any other time.

    Great win and finally Pedo got a game. Very solid all round and should now get regular time in the seniors. Weed needs to develop at Casey for entire season.

    Disgraceful first half, great second half.

    Pressure, kicking and movement miles better. Viney was much better.

    Oliver and Tracca are our future, teams can be built around them. Both brilliant.

    Hibbo and Lewy were great, as were Watts and Peders (welcome back)

    JKH and Melksham were terrible. Bugg and ANB not much better. Tyson can be infuriating.

    Go in against the Dawks with positivity, but be HUNGRY.

    I feel sorry for Dom.  He's a great midfielder in terms of finding the footy, getting to the right spots and having an impact.  His kicking, which a few years ago was a strength, and his decision making seriously let him down.  If he could kick like a Hibberd then he would almost be our best player.

    Viney was much better today than previous weeks. 

    The umps we abismal and lucki for us Daniher couldn't hit the side of a barn.

    Can't decide who i like more at the moment Oliver or Hunt   

    Hunt's prone to making silly and callow errors at times. Still I like his game.

    • 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.
