    Has been a big bear of mine but when did they take the chopping the arms rule out of the game?!?! 

    Feel like we need to get a big lead by half time as we’ll fade out.

    ps there are some Dogs players I really enjoy watching play footy. And like to see Schache playing some good footy too.

    14-4 clearances Dogs way. We really took notice of the first time we played them. 

     

    Jones is angering me now. He is the main 'handball to someone under the pump' guy and he turns over by foot. He genuinely is an issue, a Melbourne of old player. His defensive running is outrageously slow too.

    How is that not under pressure?

    Oscar McDonald is playing way too far up the field for a fullback IMO.

     

    Based on the evidence thus far, we will come second today.

    Umpiring gets worse every week if that is possible.

    We are just pumping it into our 50M with zero reward.

    How long can we keep doing this?


    Carbon copy of our game Vs Saints atm. Dogs working harder to win the ball.

    This. 1000 times this. 

    Don't know if it's effort or structure or talent, but they killed us there last time.

    Gonna be an offensive slog today. Just gotta win it, and the best defensive running team across 4 quarters will get the win.

    Glad I pay for WatchAFL and woke up early (UK) to watch a screen showing me how many minutes I'm missing

    If ever that happens, try coming in through Channel (in the middle up the top), rather than Matches.


    More certain than death and taxes is that Melbourne will blast away inside 50 with long kicks not to advantage

    Just figured that one out, thanks! Good to know next time these muppets can't get their website working. Looks like I didn't miss much

    Its rinse and repeat isnt it.

    There is no poise or class. Its spray and pray.

    so much crowding of the wings when we have the ball, who the he'll coaches these Muppets, creating space is a junior footy tactic 

    Garlett, JKH are both cooked. Garlett's lack of forward pressure is infuriating. He's "throw the hands out to show you're making an attempt to tackle" stands out so much.

    throw him in the middle.

     

    doggies just like the saints moving it by hand fast and opening us up in the back half. Already been discussed how sides can do this to us. Saints openly talked about it after the game...SURELY they have something up their sleeve?????

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
