We had one particular poster label Jesse as pathetic and a disgrace for a month yet Goody sounds very happy with his form up to last week.

    Jugding by what goody said about Viney, we may not see him until the first week of the finals. 

    He will not be risked in Perth on that hard deck. I think wise heads will keep him clear of the GWS game.

    As for Hibbo It looks like a return for the West Coast game.

    Goodwin on whether Oliver or Gawn is having a better season:  "If you ask Max, he would say he is contributing to Clayton's season.  If you ask Clayton, he'd say he's making Max look good."  ?

    In all seriousness, we are so blessed to have them both as Demons.  They clearly have huge inate talent, and have worked their butts off to get to this level, and the Club itself deserves a great deal of credit for developing them to become stars of the competition.  Fingers crossed, they will be part of a premiership team sooner rather than later.

    Agree! It was obviously a tongue in cheek line from Goodwin but both statements are probably actually true. The Gawn-Oliver team is greater than the sum of its parts so to speak.

    I agree. I've got some money on Maxxy, but I think Clarry might take some of those crucial votes.

    Is it possible that a wooden spooner could provide the Brownlow winner? Would be farcical if that happens.

    Though i would prefer Cripps to win it over 'plays for touches' Mitchell.

    He's from Carlton .... so maybe.  Impossible if it were a demon.

    I can’t recall, but how were the Dees traveling when Woey won the Brownlow?

    i used to be so happy for Robert Harvey, when he went back to back -  GAB jrn - also did it at gold coast - it can happen - and I kind of hope it does happen again. Just not this year - for max.

    • 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.
