Tracc a solid game tonite.  Loving the mid field starting 3 of Tracc, Brayshaw, Viney ..mostly no Jones, Viney & Clarry.  Much better Goody

 

We have won the game, now time to kick the goals we should have done in the 1st 100min

 

Hogan wow.... so far off being a good key forward right now

 

I’m off the Hogan station wagon

officially a couldabeen champion 

huge potential but needs smarts, real application and intense desire at the footy

hugely frustrating

    Are all you ANB whiners going to give him credit for the goal, or do you only pipe up in the bad times?

    ANB might miss a few, but he's clearly best 22.

    probably is...says something about what we have at VFL level

    Spargo just made a contest then and was penalised.  What in the world was it for?  This isn't netball.

    Dont let that goal fool you he has been [censored] house tonight well and truely deserves to be dropped.

    Both mentally weak 

    Are you a fan, last thing he is, is weak, trained like a demon to make the most of limited skills, huge running effort, and you call him weak... fair dinkum NFI

    So disappointed with garlett tonight. 

    Some of us tried to point out he has no form.

    This is a different MFC to last week. Much more desperation. Is goody holding family members hostage, Taken-style (anyone got a hotline to L.Neeson)

    Hogan is almost afraid of leading at the footy in the forward line. Look at how his defender played the ball and marked it on his chest. That's what Hogan should have done.

    He barely leads then keeps losing 1 on 1's - contested marks are just not his game at the moment  - I'd get him out of the forward line and just leave T Mac deep.   He's in a real rut.

    And who are you gonna bring up? Bugg? Worse kick, worse endurance.

    Another Viney Bullet handball. 

    Viney & Jones ...crazy chit from experienced players, especially in the slippery conditions

    I feel for ANB a bit.  Clearly he is getting everything out of his abilities, but too often he misses an easy shot, or takes a wrong option and it really lets him down.  If he can clean that up, and I think he can do it, then he could be a really handy player in our side.  As it stands he lets himself down too often, but you are right to argue that he is certainly not weak.

    need to kick a few more and take away some percentage from this hell hole.

    A few late goals to freo would really top it off !!

    Typically - what does one do with players in a rut? Send to the 2s?

    FFS, we're over 50 points up in Darwin. You'd think we're down by 80 with some of the negative Nancy stuff

    • 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.
