Has a team ever won the Inside 50 count by 20 and had more Inside 50s than their score?

    There’s not many games that the umpires really impact!

    But they absolutely screwed the Demons tonight!

    Umpiring a disgrace.

    Harmes killed all our momentum in the third quarter when he decided to go and hit a number of Port Adelaide players on the [censored].

    Lewis cooked.

    Tyson cooked.

    Fumbles.

    Umpiring a disgrace.

    Oscar is nothing with Lever.

    Melksham and Tom McDonald couldn't buy a free kick.

    Hogan went missing.

    Jetta is a star.

    I'm not unhappy with our effort away from home.

    I thought we deserved to win but for the umpiring.. early it was the momentum stopping free.  Late it was 10 consecutive free kicks in the last quarter. 

    What else can we do?

    That was as blatant as is gets

    We lack composure. We don’t make selections factoring in the opposition or the conditions. We don’t beat good teams.

    Great effort by most with poor execution. Needed to take our chances in the first half but couldn’t break them or the crowd. Two many that think they are better than they are. Hogan and Petracca time for your talent to be matched with intensity.

    Deserved to lose. 

    Taking out Spargo and not bringing in another crumber, having all those useless inside 50’s with no one to pounce, while Tyson comes in to do some bit part stoppage work in some sort of made up role is just nonsense. 

    Worst part is Port were awful.

    Will the umpires join them in the rooms to sing their [censored] song ?

    I think we will probably scrape into the 8, and lose week one. 

    Too many players who give us nothing under pressure. Jetta and McDonald literally bleed for us, while Petracca, Tyson, Hogan, Neal Bullen etc disappear. 

    Losing Lever was the end of our season. 

    I hope we make finals to get over that mental hurdle, but sadly we are nowhere near good enough to impact in September. 

    A brave effort.

    Utterly disgusting umpiring

    But gee we do some stupid stuff, ie Oscar's 50m penalty when he was three weeks late, to pick one example

    With that loss and seeing as we can’t beat any team with talent and with the run home for other clubs below us I can’t see us getting near the eight now.

    If you follow the Socceroos and Melbourne you seriously need some good counseling.

    Lost that in the first half with so much wasted opportunity. We had them complete on toast but persisted with the long bomb inside 50 to a pack of 10 players system which NEVER works for us. Just dumb footy.

    umpiring sucked bad but we lost that ourselves

    • 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.
