i disagree; he's no daisy but he's better than ling, bartel, or most others

i wonder what crowd this dreamtime game will get given the weather?

amazing how meth coke just keep winning despite not looking good; sure the umpire's helped but they know that they're never out of it

each to their own, but his interviews at the end of games are not even up to Ling or Richo level.  His comments add nothing (in fact, tonight he simply repeated what the main commentators said about the ball dropping short in the wet.)  Zero added value or insight.

    Actually they are bloody good compared to what they were when many on Demonland were young.  There was a time when the most reliable prediction was tomorrow the same as today.  Fast computers, better models and more input data have made a big difference.

    Gotta love the forward handball game the tigers have. Awesome to watch when up and running.

    Ling!? I'm sorry but this moron carried on last year down at the cattery after they beat us by a kick as if they had won a granny! I respected Ling as a player but as a commentator, he is a [censored].

    Richmond is just simple.

    I like McAdam, doesn't get involved with the pathetic immature banter that the likes of Taylor, Hamish and other [censored] themselves over.

    Ablett can’t keep his hands down. Nice little jab on Miles’ chin. Let’s see how this plays out.

    Miles clearly chin-butted Ablett’s fist. He should cop a week downgraded to a fine along with a written apology to Ablett.

    Intentional, medium, high is two weeks. Even if argued to be low impact, he still gets a week. 

    Surely Christian can’t deem this one as unintentional.

    I bet on the tigers to win the wooden spoon over a decade ago, had a fair bit on it as well and with about 6 rounds to go Sportsbet paid out. Tigers ended up winning a few and getting off the bottom.

    Sportsbet do it for the publicity. I’m still talking about it.

    My guess is Christian will deem it as insufficient force. Nothing to see here. 

    Next week, Ablett roundhouse kicks someone’s head off.

    Christian will say Miles was staging and practically call him a sook.

    No way did it look like 80,000 plus at the G from the TV, a Richmond mate at the game isn’t paying it either. Did they take pre sales into account?

    What's up with Ablett, it's like after the first one he's got a taste for it - he's got the bloodlust.

    • 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.
