I just assumed that the clock should run down if Henderson was having a shot for goal. Anyway good win by the hawks to come back the way they did. 

The pres is out of town and they drop 2 in a row. If Bucks was scathing this week imagine him tonight. They have to travel to perth next week to play west coast. Imagine them losing 3 in a row. 

Looking to tomorrow come one sydney we need you to beat the bummers.

    Game plans and selection means bugger all when half your 22 is out

    The Footy Gods are showing us mercy with the injection of good form into teams around us in Carlton, Hawthorn, North, Sydney. We just need them to give St Kilda and GCS some wins and the low pick is ours. If we're going to lose most games, it's nice to see others around us winning at least.

    What we want is all of them to keep winning and for us to start winning

    But of course the AFL in their infinite wisdom have ensured that  he will be allowed back for the finals.

    I wonder if he had a few bucks on the Hawks last quarter comeback?  Could help him pay his fine.

    The Age's description of the Pies last night: 

    "Fumble after fumble was followed by turnover after turnover. Any type of structure was absent, with connectivity forward of centre often replaced by rushed dumped kicks forward".

    Sounds like the 2019 Demons!!?

    Doubt the Pies will make the top 4 ??

    It was a terrible game who’s only redeeming feature was the close finish (thanks very much to the carefully orchestrated umpiring). 

    I seriously hate our game at the moment.

    I didn’t watch last night Ethan but “carefully orchestrated umpiring” now seems a reality in our game.

    Time and time again we see a free kick imbalance evened up in the last quarter   

    Kinda goes against the notion of impartiality

    Tigers 6 inside 50s. 5 goals

    could get messy. There goes the number one pick

    These sorts of things can happen when  administrations allow themselves to become so interspersed with and then dependent upon the gambling industry.

    Then of course they have to appear to come down on gambling (though meekly enough to allow a banned player to become miraculously  available for final$.)

    Their rule changes to ensure lots of goals (code for advertising opportunities for their $ponsors) having been a dismal failure, close finishes are essential. 

    Like Ethan above, the game I used to love has gone - sold down the drain to the highest bidders.  ??????

    The AFL have systematically ruined the game i grew up with, whilst giving themselves grotesque wages. 

    I hate you...Your rule changes stink, beginning with interchange rotations, which is where the Cancer begins...

    and i hope there are journalists reading this site so that the message gets out there.

    Were people going for Sydney because they hate the bombers or because they want a gap between other teams so we get a better draft pick?

    It's unbelievable how the Druggies get an armchair ride every week!

    Out possessed by 40-odd, yet nearly double the frees to Essendon. No doubt due to their whining crowd.

      Their constant booing of Rampe was childish to say the least. What?... booing him for (stupidly)trying to climb the goal post  up in Sydney!!!??? They didn't deserve to win either of those games.

    The umps absolutely gifted them the Whorethorn game last week, too.

    I hope their chooks turn into Emus and kick their dunny door down.

    They actually wouldn’t give a stuff, provided the sponsors pay them big bucks so that they can get paid big bucks. 

    It is no longer a game for the people: it is a business money game for the likes of Gillon.

    • 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.
