    Hogan should have taken his 30 seconds with his last goal instead of playing on, it would have given us time to have a bigger breather and compose ourselves while Adelaide were gaining some momentum.

     

    This is statistically the most dominant 15 quarters a Melbourne side has ever played. Never have we won 15 quarters in a row before.

    Huge first quarter.

    If we give them an inch, they will take a mile.

    Keep the pressure up!

    I was hard on him early in the year but I think they were playing him out of position. Is a half forward. 

    He's basically a little Tom McDonald. Runs all day, back and forward, and is most valuable in the last 5 minutes because everyone else is buggered but he's still going strong.

    Wow. Love the first quarter. 

    Cannot fault that. 

    Adelaide finding a way to kick goals against the flow like good teams do. 

    Just hoping when and if adelaide get their run on we find a way to kick those needed goals

    Good start. Midfield must stay on top and we should win. Long way to go.


    Cannot stress enough how good that quarter was!

    If we can keep it up for the whole game, that quarter will get talked about a lot I reckon this week.

    Who is this Melbourne side?

    Great attacking football. Both with and without the ball. They are a good side and will we come back just need to manage the momentum when it comes. Great quarter by some of our lesser lights in Nibbler and Harmes but strong all round team first display. Need to keep it up.

     

    Can’t let them get momentum early in the second, must at least halve the contest in the first 15 minutes or better still put more score on.

    Great quarter of footy. 

    Crows are a class outfit and will hang around, but we have the ability to put them to the sword if we keep playing like this. Fantastic footy to watch!

    • 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.
