Gus and Fritsch have been poor but everyone else is looking pretty sharp. Weโ€™re in this up to our necks.

 

Best weโ€™ve played all year. Which says a lot. Happy with that. 

 

Gus poor, umps poor, Oskar trying to do a bit too much.

Lovely work through the middle of the ground for Hunty's goal, and TMac was looking good early.


Wow... the umps have given their whistles to the WC crowd

Gus must be injured. Two weeks he has looked out of it. Plus he isnโ€™t playing on the ball which is suspicious. 

Luckily I think Jones has been very good on the ball

Umps near to wear noise cancelling head phones 

How's that gonna help the ump who woke up 20km from the ground and has an Eagles jumper in his closet?

 

Minus goals via dumb frees and easy missed shots should be 4 goals up.

 


That was the 1st quarter I was expecting to see in the prelim......where has this team been..?!!

Where was this team in the prelim last year?

We're still butchering it going forward (although lot less), but wow look at the hunger, the 2nd efforts, the bodies around the ball.

That Clarry chain for the goal from Hunt was the best I've seen all year.

If we can maintain this for (only) 3 more qtrs, and convert forward chances, we've got a real chance.

What a sweet feeling it would be the beat the Eagles over there with our seconds! (no disrespect to the boys out there, I speak only from the perspective of our starting squad).

You need to pencil in 4-8 goals to West Coast from dodgy bias frees. So essentially we need to be a 10 goal better side to ensure a win. 

Why Pruess is not playing is beyond me... i cant see any decent reason to suggest he would not be a huge asset up forward the way we bring the ball in tonight and as an assist to Maxy rucking up forward.

The more i watch the more it needs to be Pruess for Smith.  I'm not saying Smith won't play some sort of role later in the match and might even kick the winner or be involved in the winning play but Pruess offers the marking/rucking ability as well as a very difficult / unusual match up that would worry the Coaster's back 6 and set the cat amongst the pigeons.  Jeffy would be happier too IMO and grow another leg with Andre throwing his weight around.


Best weโ€™ve looked all year I reckon. Tmac is back!!! Umpires truly truly frikn atrocious.., like our goal kicking.

ww need Jeffry and Brayshaw in the game.

Positives: best Iโ€™ve seen us play for a while. 

Negatives: still insanely wasteful going forward. Although this time is much more to do with inaccuracy. Tom, Petracca, Garlett really needed to nail their shots. 

Aliens will look back 200 million light years from now upon a scorched Earth, recovering a scarred but intact drive from the server upon which Demonland was co hosted and after reconstructing the data in zero time will be positively scratching their 16 heads with one of their 4 shhhlongs in outright bemusement at this Thompson-like stream of consciousness 

 

love it

Umpires making things difficult so far with separate interpretations of holding the ball for each team!

Longest trip to Perth ever? Miss the Prelim, show up 6 months later at a completely different game.


Baker has only had three touches, but two of them were absolutely sublime kicks on the run that hit difficult targets.  If he can get it  more often he'll be a weapon. 

 

Jones and Tommy have started well. Even Gawn looks better. Brayshaw is falling over and fumbly. 

A good start. You would take a 1/4 time lead. Just hope we can keep it up and make use of our shot on goal. 

Petracca has been around long enough that he should have kicked that goal. Need to be better. Yes that goal on t e run helped but he needs to stand up. 

I think that Oliver/Hunt goal is the best since Jeff Farmers ...great stuff.

  • 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 Footscrayโ€™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 weekโ€™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.
