Other than May and obviously Salem our defenders should be told they are never ever allowed to do anything than kick the ball as far as they absolutely [censored] can. We should have been ahead all day, dumb turnovers cost us and let the stagers cry to the umpires and keep them in the game.

    Frosty is not good for the heart. He's an excitement machine

    Apart from a few grubbers his decision making was the best it’s been I reckon.

    Very enjoyable game. As I said during the game thread because of our season it had no stress for me but when we hit the front by eight odd points i I must confess to some nervousness.

    Pleasant day at the mcg.

    Thought May had a good game.

    And boy those great overhead marks in the last few minutes.

    Looking forward to seeing a lot of smiling faces at Casey game tomorrow at Coburg

    Nah, come on dude, just let us all enjoy a rare win.

    We are in this together as Dees fans.

    Didn't mean to put a downer on it for you guys who watch for the wins in pointless games in failed seasons. Enjoy it.

    Just my opinion that we were fortunate with their injuries. Obviously a win is a good outcome.

    My wife banished me to the front lawn until after the match for apparently yelling too much. Now I have to catch the replay. 

    Well done Demons!

    Not a failed game at all if it can get some confidence back into Tom. 

    WINS are always important

    No game is pointless - I don't think there has ever been a scoreless game. Boom tish.

    But seriously every game they play is important. Every game.

    Was interesting to see May barking at the players in the back 50 and setting them up from all standing bunched together.

    Just need to focus on the younger players and hope like hell they learn to settle and calmly hit their target.

    Wasn't at the game, only had radio, but Tmac must have had one hell of a second half going on the calls for him to P off,spud etc. in the 1st half.

    Probably best you didn't see his first 3qrts

    I still have concerns. Our lack of pace was on display, and Freo still scored mostly from turnovers across our half forward and easy transition. Would we have won had Freo not been two down? Maybe not but Hill and co. played out the game and had the pace and fitness to make up that lack of rotations.

    One thing I really liked was Frost and Hore reading off one another. Frost can be a massive liability but he plays with confidence. Hore is Febey 2.0. Salem is all class. I thought our defensive 50 did very well today.

    Overall it was a solid albeit frustrating performance. We can match it with top teams no doubt but we still have a lot of bad habits and structural issues that need ironing out.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
