Don't speak too soon.. Hearing Lockhart out for ANB

I really hope this is a joke.

Lockharts been about the only enjoyable thing from the last two games.  FMD

With these outs, it's backs against the wall stuff.

I'm tipping us to pull off an upset that rivals us rolling the Eagles in Perth in '98.

between the reduced home game crowds against Essendon and in two weeks against Richmond I suspect the finances have already taken a hit against budget

Well the sponsors wouldn't be too worried yet. No such thing as bad publicity, and there's been arguably more coverage of how bad we are right now vs what we would have got with a more expected start to the season. 

With the potential late changes and the worry re: ANB getting a gig - Jay Clark is saying that both Hore and Spargo are on standby should both Jetta and Lockhart not play.

    Despite years of beltings I can proudly say I've never once turned off or walked out before full time. Different levels of supporting your team I suppose.

    Ditto,    well  waited till less than 10 minutes to go, even if we are being belted, sometimes its better to get away and be a bit calmer in the traffic !!

    THIS injury list is growing worse by the minute. The side that takes the field tonight is the worst in 4 years.

    And those 4 years are 1974, 1985, 2007 and 2013.

    Same same. Not once in the many, many years i have followed the dees.

    Actually once. But not because were losing. We actually won the game. I had to leave the dees v saints round one game from a few years back at Docklands because i had an event i had to attend.

    With Jetta out I am no longer thinking we could win this. If ANB plays then the selectors have rocks in their head.

    Lets just say that the injury list is the worst in 4 years.

    this is beyond a joke - there are too many soft tissue injuries. Enquiries need to be made.

    Garbage, It is just the nature of the sport. Happens to all clubs at one time or another.

    I take it most of the posters on here,  who have made disparaging or derogatory remarks about the team and individual players,  wont we watching or attending the game? I mean what's the point

    Saty, I suspect that there will be many supporters not turning on whether they have made disparaging comments or not. Unfortunately, that is the nature of the beast, applying to all team based sport. 

    Fans are fickle and they don't like watching or listening to their side losing after a succession of losses whether it be Melbourne or any side. Look how power sides like Hawthorn have a drop off of fans if their form is poor.

    Everyone wants to support and follow winners, and for the passionate, its personal.

    And lay zero tackles again? The sooner Garlett returns the better.

    And zero goals again, and minimal impact.

    These night games must be good for you Sku, at least 10.30am is an acceptable time for a beer, rather than 6am. (which is also acceptable in many circumstances).

    Yep. Backs against the wall folks may just bring the best out of who ever we still have playing.

    I have I agree with others the side we are putting out is rubbish, sadly other quality sides seem to manage when they have a few outs. I still think we can win, but I thought we should have beat Essendon comfortably last week.  

    Thank god dean towers got delisted last year, I wonder which average player is going to destroy us tonight ?

    • 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.
