    Every laying into Garlett - he’s kicked three goals and setup another. Jesus never perfect and misses sometimes, but he’s one of the most efficient and productive forwards going around. He’s the most proven goal kicker we’ve had in a decade. Just enjoy him!

    Spot on. He seems to get held to a different standard does Jeffy.

    Noooo Noo nooo we are playing kissed on the [censored] west coast in Perth there is no chance of that happening! 

    How obvious was that free?


    If we lose this I’ll be [censored] ropeable! Should be 5-6 goals up here.

    I know “you take the good with the bad” with Petracca but seriously his skills are at times below VFL level. He’s turning into Bugg where he gets the chances but does sweet FA with them. 

    Oh my god that was a great 3rd quarter but bloody frustrating. Easy shots missed, Tommy what the hell was that attempt when you kicked it out on the full easy marks dropped yes Im looking at you Christian and lack of communication between Hunt and Jeffy. 

    Oscar has been well beaten by Kennedy. 

    We just need to play another 30 minutes of good footy. We deserve to win this. We have dominated and been in front all game.

    Draft picks?


    My wife not a football follower watching with me tonight summed it up perfectly regarding petracca. . He does five bad for every one good. He is the everything this team represents at the moment. Try so hard look great in the build up but can't finish the work

    we still need to win this, and can. just need to be a bit cleaner with our ball movement. this is by far the best we have been playing this year. keep on playing like this and we may well play finals football again.

    Hes lost all confidence, the play there was use pace take a bounce draw the player handball to hunt. How far off is hannan?

    We need 2b more composed letting Kennedy get that last goal breaks your heart in the last 90 secs. Oscar shouldve gone back on him. Jones & Garlett have fluffed so many kicks it's like Jones is purposely picking out West Coast players. If only them & Tom could kick straightforward

    Agreed. Trac is the one thats killing us with his negative mindedness and subsequent silliness

    well, we have turned a corner in many many respects this game - irrespective of the outcome.

    Not much chance of Viney returning to Victoria with leather poisoning 

    Looks like hes been given a role and is focusing on that, i know yeo's had a bit of influence and harmes moved to him at some stoppages that qtr, but viney seems to be holding a defensive position at stoppages and not getting sucked in. Its what we've been crying for all year.

    Kinda funny reading some of these posts - like we're reigning premiers with one or two players on the injury list.

    I'm the most constipated poster but sheeeeesh gotta love the way we're playing spraying aside

    To be fair he had only 3 touches in the first half so yea he got bagged.

    Great to see him lift.

    [censored] non decision by the umpire on Kennedy infringing on O Mac. Typical gifts them a goal

    Didn’t get hands on it, had to be unrealistic attempt. Guess rose coloured might be in play

    • 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.
