How does the coaching staff justify Smith in the side? 

Say the same about the staff.

    God I hate the camera shots of that zombie in our coach’s box.

    Spot on.  Some fool on here will blame Joel Smith for the smother goal, however, under no pressure Oliver handballs it on his shoelaces and the defensive forwards of Richmond thrive on that type of error. 

    I've been taking notice of Oliver,  and to a lesser extent Braysaw over the last few weeks.   Oli consistently flicks the ball off and when the ball leaves the area he stops.

    When Oliver has to tackle, often the tackle slips off.  Allowing the opponent away.

    So many of Oliver's physical efforts at opposition are impotent.

     

    He has allowed his game and efforts since 2018 to just jog along, like he does.

    He needs a big attitude change.

    The bright side is that because our Essendon match was postponed this is not season ending.... yet

    Yes it is DJ. Well if finals is our goal.


     

    Simon has his bag packed but he won't be leaving the building.

    Well we've done our good deed for the next team playing the tigs.

    They are all the walking wounded.

    Agree MFM. He's got huge tickets on himself and is just about our laziest player. He could be a much better footballer, but he chooses not to be.

    Actually a lot to like about this game.

    So much better than last week.

    Because I knew we had lost at selection I've been able to enjoy the good parts of the game.

    1-4... we are alive..just

    1-5.... no chance

    So obviously Smith out for omac next week

    Weid and Jones in for Melksham and Vandenberg

    Jones in for Viney

    Brian friggin Taylor and the fake crowd’s over the top efforts to inject some excitement into this rubbish is just plain insulting.

    • 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.
