Great half in terms of responding to a challenge. Lever down, Melksham and T. Smith are both carrying knocks. We really need to blow the doggies away in the 3rd. If we give them a sniff for the final qtr they might outlast us.

That's my worry. Need to blow them away. We'll run out of legs. AFL should not be giving us a 6 day break after NT.

    We're not playing well, but let's be realistic - we aren't going to play well every single week.  Some games will be a struggle.  It's how we respond that matters.

    After them kicking the first 3, having lots of cheap frees and winning the clearances, we showed the maturity to steady and kick 7 of the next 8.  Our older heads stood up, while Macca and Hogan stood up in the forward line.  We are cleaner, smarter and better, but allowing the Dogs to drag us down to their level.

    I'm still confident for the second half but it won't be a 10 goal win.

    what's going on with hibberd? fumbling and butchering the ball frequently today

     

    Midfield need to work harder on the clearances. That’s what’s keeping the dogs in the game.

    Gotta start getting on top in clearances. Do that and we will easy and take pressure off the backline without Lever. 

    Jetta is unbelievable. A beast!

    Lever a possible bone bruise (at best) or a lateral for 4 to 6 (at worst).  Done for the day if someone hasnt't already mentioned

    You reckon luck will go the way of the Dees ever? Get a kpp gun & goes down with injury ..,

    Lever update please have a heart attack here

    Is apparently walking in the rooms and most likely a bone bruise (maybe 4 weeks max at worst)....don't hold me to any of that though


    Good 2nd quarter.  Hope we keep it going. Jetta has been outstanding and have loved gawns tackling.  Keep it up boys

    [censored] I suppose better than the ACL! 

    Fingers crossed not too serious. 

    This is going to be a struggle. Dogs love to play boring low scoring rubbish. They have held us very well. With one down and 2 not fully fit, this will be a big ask. Especially off a short break. 

    51 point win coming up

    RN, that is sensational news in the scheme of things, particularly if you're paranoid (like me) when it comes to these things.


    Same knee that Lever had the reco on a few years ago.

    I dont think its gonna be good news. I hope Im wrong.

    The only positive thing is that we have an 8 day break coming up and then the bye.  Hopefully Lever may just miss a week and return after the bye.

    Umps have been pathetic. Almost like the AFL told them to make sure it’s a contest and not another trashing. 

    Tbh I've not really noticed the other two just the toerag Ray.

    How many frees does Ray Chmberlin pay when he is not central umpire?! Ridiculous [censored] amounts.

    Smith poleaxed in the back off the ball, no free.

    Jetta what a guy, steady the ship Neville.

    We look a little warn and sore but we should get up.

    You never now when Lucifer's big ass boot is gonna get lodged between our sticks RTG.  All we can do each day is hope to avoid the [censored] and if we can't, at least make sure it doesn't turn into a goal


    Listening to dogs fans they  r complaing about umpires.

    We can hope, but not unheard of to be walking after an acl.

    Fingers and toes.

    Razor is an absolute tool.

    Just hope we have enough petrol in the tanks to finish the second half well.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.

    • GAMEDAY: Fremantle

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons return to the MCG wounded, undermanned and desperate. Still searching for their first win of the season, Melbourne faces a daunting task against the Fremantle Dockers. With key pillars missing at both ends of the ground, the Dees must find a way to rise above the adversity and ignite their season before it slips way beyond reach. Will today be the spark that turns it all around, or are we staring down the barrel of a 0–6 start?
