Won that quarter I thought.

Umpires providing a 2 goals per quarter advantage to the tigers.

Turnovers will mean we loose the game.

    We’ve done pretty well so far. Good tactics. 

    O Mac and lever good at the back. 

    Trac disposing well. 

    Keep it up lads!!

    Viney gives his all on the park no issues there.  Maybe it's just me but gives the appearance at times that he just isn't emotionally connected/invested all that much to his fellow players.  Like he is playing in a bit of a bubble at times.  Or is it that he just isn't enjoying himself much anymore?

    Probably just my imagination ?

     

    Well then, I wasn't expecting that; "that's ruck craft big boy" has now been applied to Preuss as well.

    Both rucks are giving each other a cuddle and trying to feel the cotton count of the Guernseys.

    Stupid [censored].

    Holding, holding. Is this how they want to get rid of tackling? Simply call everything holding and pay rubbish free kicks.


    Not sure why they did the car draw at quarter time. No incentive for Melbourne fans to stay now. Should have done it at 3/4 time and gave it to the only idiot who is still at the match. “You sir, you are still here, you’ve suffered enough, have a car”

    Prues can't mark and gives frees away every time he goes up in the ruck . He is nearly unplayable

    Viney's handball to Max along the boundary would have seen him dragged and benched for a quarter in the old days. He wins the ground ball, panics, and handballs to Gawn, who is on his wrong side, and has to kick a checkside on his right side, into traffic, leading to the ball dribbling out of bounds. Melksham rightly lost his [censored].

    Does anyone else notice how often our players find themselves on their wrong side? What are we doing wrong? The turnovers almost always follow over-use, one or two handballs too many in traffic, leading to a quick kick almost directly to an opposition player. Nothing changes.

    That was an okay first quarter but Richmond is playing in first gear. Once they put the foot down they are going to absolutely [censored] this in. They don't even try and they waltz through the corridor. We win the ball back, have space, but no one utilises it. We flood to our own disadvantage.

    On which planet is that not a high free kick to Viney?

    Viney initiated the contact by leaning down to try to pick up the ball. PLAY ON!!!!!!!

    It’s his drop off in intensity. He used to be an uncontrollable ball of intensity and aggression. It’s basically disappeared to the point of appearing laconic at times. Hopefully it returns, as it’s really his only outstanding attribute. He’s an average player otherwise.

    We did alright that quarter. Should be a closer loss than expected.

    Gee you think they would strap Olivers finger...tough.

    • 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.

      It’s game day and the Demons are chasing a fourth straight win as we take on the high flying Hawks at the G. After decades of being tormented by the Hawks the Dees will be keen to extend their 7 year dominance over Hawthorn.

    • NON-MFC: Round 09

      Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?
