Bloody hell....is there a stat for goals conceded  in the dying secs of a qrt,

I take that back....I thought we were in for a drubbing with the umps....but great fightback

 

10 point down at half time?  We'll take it.

If you take away those first 10 minutes of the second term where they kicked 5 on the trot, we've been the better side.  Our attack and pressure on the ball has been good and we've forced them in to turnovers which has frustrated them.  We aren't giving them a run at the footy and they don't really know what to do about it.

We need to come out far more switched on than we did in the second term, though.  Lots to like about the first half.

We've got this.

10 points at the half... not a bad result, least we're showing fight. 


Hannan zero disposals in a half of footy, while ANB whose been averaging around 26 twiddles his thumbs 

Been a big Tyson supporter but far out his disposal is horrible. Whats happened to him??

 

Vince, Watts, Garlett, Kent

All have been poor and need to lift, and if they do we will win.  If they dont they should all be dropped for letting us down so badly.

Hes has 2 according to the stats (but point taken).


Fair effort. Buckled, but hit back. 

Umps are C units. 

I can forgive our defenders for the odd mistake tonight, they're against the best forwards in the league. 

Need to lower our eyes and hit the smalls like Collingwood did earlier today. 

Tyson is dumb and has poor skills and I don't like him at all.

Hardly seen Bernie - is he in the bar?

He is in Sloane's back pocket.

going well for a team with no forward line

I think he's playing a hard tag on somebody! Maybe himself ?

Half time votes....Umpires, 3, 2, 1

Game Over. 

 

Maybe not. 

Lets c what happens in the second half although at 5 goals to zip I was thinking the same.

Playing a tagging role on Sloan who's had 7 disposals to half time. Vince has only had the 3, I'd like to see him try to damage Sloan if he see the opportunity. 

Yeah, we are behind, and i HATE when people look for the positives in a loss, so I will get in now.

 

Bloody hell Hibberd was a great pickup.

I think he's been pretty effective shutting Sloane down


Bernie's doing a great job

As dazzle said earlier, I've been a fan as well, but the bloke is having an absolute mare today.  His kicking is all over the shop and he looks so slow.  I'm not one to write players off quickly, but this has been happening all season.  It doesn't bode well for him.

 

Some of the inexperienced guys: Wagner, Hannan, Oscar and Weed showing why we are not quite there. 

This is a real test for Goodwin.  We need to play smarter in our defence and rejig the fwd entries.  I hope he leaves Pedo up forward with Weid

  • REPORT: Hawthorn

    The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

  • CASEY: Box Hill

    The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

  • POSTGAME: Hawthorn

    The Demons were sloppy all day and could not stop the run and carry of the fast moving Hawthorn as the Hawks cruised to an easy 36 point win. Is the season over yet?
