What about the constant replays and coverage of Dew sitting on the bench during live play. Pathetic!

Sheeeit Thanks for setting me straight ! I thought I was watching Star Wars and Jabda the Hutt and had my channels had somehow discombobulated!

    Super happy with that win and the improvement that I have seen over the year. Viney back next week and another big step forward for this group. Hopefully even demonlanders can be happy with where this is headed and enjoy the ride. Both of this site's favourite whipping boys produced pretty good performances (Harmes was virtually BOG), not sure who is going to have to make way for Viney now.

    Was glad to have a convincing win instead of winning by 5 goals after coasting through the last quarter. Gold Coast were poor though so next week will be a much harder test.

    Brayshaw is such a good centre square player. His ability to kick 45-50 off either foot and one step means his clearances have maximum effectiveness.

    Also Bayley Fritsch had 26 possessions. Not the best on the ground by any stretch but he's already showing he's not gonna be just a low possession, high impact player. He's better that that.

    Is it bad that I’m disappointed we didn’t get the inside 50s record? Like seriously why did we go backwards with a minute to go with 69 point lead? 

    All that aside it was really good to see us put a team to the sword and get some much needed %. It was also a bit of a announcement to the competition, if/when things click for us we can score big. 

    We were inaccurate and wasteful at times tonight and we still won by 69 points. 

    Great to see Brayshaw back up his excellent game last week with another really good performance, Salem also slotted back in really well, Lewis was a cool head and played a great game. But the standout performances for me were Clarry, Gawn, and TMac (although he had a very quiet last quarter). 

    Great to see us have a big win. Blues next week who might be up and about after their first win. Big chance to build something this season now.

    We went backwards with a minute to go because we had a 69 point lead.

    I can't recall the last time Melbourne dominated a team in the way they did tonight from start to end in every aspect other than on the scoreboard. Eventually it showed on the scoreboard as well, but it really should have been close to a 100 point belting. Hard to complain after a win , but we've still got areas we can tidy up which will hopefully make us contenders rather than being also rans like we were last year.

    Went to the game and surprisingly bought good tickets. 

    Good to see a win by a big margin for a change. 

    Go dees.

    Trying to think of the last time a team kicked in excess of 140. Just sayin. A momentum builder today 

    Round 22 last year. Tiges thumped Freo.

    There have been a lot of 130s in there

    Who needs Gaff when you’ve got Fritzl. Stick him anywhere and he’d do a job. Hope he doesn’t find AFL too easy and sticks around for a while.  

    Draw a line from wing to wing, do not let Tomald cross it. What a gun forward. Hey @DeeSpencer

    Loved Harmes’ effort. I’m not comfortable when he has it, but I admire his work rate. Playing important minutes. 

    ANB was a lot cleaner, still nowhere near last year’s form. 

    Hogan’s worst game with just the lazy 3 goals. 

    Loved Salem’s game. 

    We should just kick 8 goals a quarter every quarter I reckon.

    Anyone know how many possessions Tyson had in the last quarter?

    When we kicked 8 goals and had full momentum? I’m guessing close to none.

    That's what I was getting at.

    I didn't notice him much in the last quarter.

    I thought he had a bad Tyson game. 

    I like good Tyson.

    When was the last time we won 4 in a row? 

     

    Will be 5 in a row next week and that would be a while.

    • 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.
