    Did we put an extra behind the ball when that expletive Hawkins tore us a new arse hole in the last?

    Nup.

    For as bad as I feel, this is a silly comment.  We're still in sixth.  While the loss was shattering, we played out of our skin for three quarters at one of the hardest away grounds to play on in the competition. 

    Finals is still well and truly alive.

    Mate, our season is on life support and being sixth is a mirage. At this stage will go into one game for the remainder of the season as favourites. That would leave us on eleven wins and missing finals.

    worse than that, if we’d just taken care of business tonight and against the saints, we’d be a lock.

    Arrrrgggghhhhhhgghggggghhhhhhhh?!?!?!I just... like how the [censored] does that happen?! I mean like..... what, we were up by how much and kicked 3.5 in last and still lost by a kick AFTER THE [censored] N SIREN?!?!

    How does this club and the players keep doing it to us. All week, we need to win these big games etc etc.

    I get sick of seeing the players get all up and about during the game, how about you win it before going nuts after a goal and stop the sledging during a game and just focus on your task and win the game.

    Gotta win the next three

    Unfortunately you could just see it coming

    They send Gawn off for a blood rule that looked like it could be wiped away to me and they go coast to coast - unfortunately 16.4 is great kicking and 14.14 is not good enough; bad kicking is bad football

    The home ground advantage was enomous for them, the further we got up, the more the cats willed themselves and and went for broke. Thats what shots me.

    Seriously unlucky that they kicked 16 and only 4 pts. Thats f_@#.

    We deserved to win that. She have one Rd one too. Deserved to beat port too. Just real hard to break the spirit at away games like that. I (censored) hate that we have the MCG and get out-supported at our home games!

    We're in it until we're not in it.  We have the ability to beat any team in front of us, with the exception of the Eagles in Perth, which is a huge ask of any side these days.

    It might be a mirage to you, but it's pretty clear to me.  This loss cuts very, very deep, but we aren't done just yet.

    But you said we’d lose by ten goals before the game so what are you upset about?

    It's funny you spent time noting the quantum of the loss I expected /quoted then when we lose by less you challenge me that I should be happy we lost by less. Allow me to disabuse you of the notion that your logic is based on a sound axiom

    shoulda, woulda, coulda we are [censored] weak when the heat is on. 5 goals up and just gave it away.

    why didnt we posses the footy in the last 1.30 minutes? Petracca kicks a barrel wtf? we could have chipped it around and knocked off a minute, we just melt in these situations. 

    Goodwin has alot to answer for in that last quarter absolutely diabolical coach FMD and FML.

    In what way is it acceptable to lose with a 5 goal lead going into the last quarter. We have every right to vent.

    Those that are screaming out for a chop out for O McDonald seem to have forgotten about Lever and Hibberd... Players of that ilk don't grow on trees... The team did everything possible to get the win... We just weren't good enough tonight! Who thought a MFC team with the likes of JKH, Frost, J Smith, Spargo etc would win away at the Cattery when the season began?  However, we will improve in coming rounds and in 2019 with Viney, Hibberd, Lever, Hunt, Stretch, and AVB available.

    • 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?

    • POSTGAME: Hawthorn

      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.
