Man I dunno. It's a game I guess. We're lucky to be in front but we are working our backsides off and especially our backline.

What will be will be, I'd love to win but it's been a great effort to get here. Give it a red got crack!

Anyone wondering if Mitchell will win the Brownlow- I can confirm the umpires notice him.

Predicting big second half from Clarrie and Gus - they tend to get better as the game goes on.

True, and my word we need them! 

 

Our defence has been fierce, the pressure has been good, not at the level of last week but we can get there. We need mids to go up a gear like a few 3rd quarter responses we’ve had this year.

I agree was basically a basketball charging foul situation.  I don't think it should have been a free in AFL football, but it would have been very hard for Oliver to stay upright.

Definitely a free when 50m off the ball


Third quarters are our thing. Let's see how we go. If the Hawks get on top again they will be hard to stop.

Oh well, we are ahead. Melksham and Hannan need to lift. And Tyson is useless

I don't like Tyson being caught in our defensive 50.

 

They’re worn down... we’ll crack ‘em open this quarter I reckon.

It's all over Twitter. Fox footy saying he dived, AFL Nation asking people if he flopped. 

But no mention of Sicilly a couple of minutes later flying out the front of the pack.

Technically yes, but if all those are given in finals, it will get farcical.

Took Spargo 3 attempts before he hit Brayshaw for that last goal. I still wonder if he is up to it.

He may not be, but right now, he is. His pressure is good.


Saw Kennett on tv. Am hoping to shove it to him.

Macca...  we are controlling our movement into the forward 50, good to see.  Better than 1st half.

Merge that! Dawks

  • 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.
