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

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.

  • PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Way back in March we contemplated the possibility of a Demon resurgence after Simon Goodwin’s summer of love. Many issues at the club had seemingly been addressed, key players were returning from injury and a brand new day was about to dawn. We imagined the coach pulling a rabbit out of a hat. The team would roar up the charts, push aside every opponent and make its way to a Grand Final ending in ultimate triumph with Goody and Max holding the premiership cup aloft under a shower of red and blue ticker tape.

  • AFLW REPORT: Western Bulldogs

    We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

  • 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.

    The final game of the 2025 Season is finally upon us and the Demons may have an opportunity to spoil the Magpies Top 4 aspirations when they face them on Friday Night. Who comes in and who goes out?
