How many free kicks have the Eagles had inside 50 directly in front of goal? At least 7? Not saying it's the reason we're losing but the umpiring is farcical. 

That chase from Jones and Lewis was putrid too. 

Eagles .. 3 inside 50's this quarter = 3 goals

Hell we're back where we were at the start of this season !!

    Just bench Lewis for the game.

    Retire -get out of my sight you hack.

    Jordan Lewis has been horrific. Costly, classless. A spent force.

    Most have been there though Fang.

    i’m more Pi$$ed at the efforts of Lewis a so called leader.

     

    lol Petracca decides to kick to a contest in the goal square when he could've just kicked for goal, after we haven't taken a mark inside 50 all game. Mindboggling stuff.

    Sums up the day’s play.

    Started early when we had passed all the time when the game was to be won.

    Even the bounce is against us.

    Lewis has to retire after this. He must put his head on the chopping block voluntarily, as act of atonement. He has a leadership role, yet played like a young fool. Enough.

    Yep Trac needs to really pull his finger out and fully commit to this coming preseason

    The aftermath of today will be crucial. The Club has to be tough on this. This preformance cannot be repeated. 

    We know what happens when it does

    Everything gone their way. Every bounce. Every crucial kick. 

    It is not our day but I hope we keep playing til the last minute because a destruction like this can really damage our future.

    Ok, that Darling goal really does explain the day. Wow! Luck is a very powerful thing.

    That Hannan bounce followed by the Darling bounce just shows today wasn't our day.

    Rubbish.

    Geelong spanked the Pies in the 2009 Prelim by 90 points. Pies won the 2010 flag.

    Just one of those days. Thought we'd struggle given the emotional wave we've been on but thought we'd be on early.

    What does interest me is the return of many posters who were strangely missing when we were up

    • 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.
