Pickett needs to Learn to never kick to Viney in a one on one.

    What is Lever doing there?  Has no opponent, in no mans land, and still manages to get sucked into the contest instead of protecting the inside outlet at the contest

    Geez Weid has to mark those. 

    Yep.  The only good thing is that he is leading up to the ball and providing a target.  Just have to hope he starts clunking a few for his confidence.

     

    Weid drops a basic chest mark.  How is that not holding the ball 10 meters out??

    For a guy who has no hands on his arms Weid does really well to forearm the ball. Keep it up buddy!

    We've known about it for a week now just get rid of it. When you're hot you're hot!

    Didn’t get a chance to get rid of it. It’s such an over correction. 

    A definitive switch to possession style footy.

    Weid still can’t hold a grab. 

    Anyone else feel as though there is better pressure in our forward half as opposed to the last few weeks?  We just seem a bit more up and about forward of the ball than we have been.

    Every turnover turns to a goal for them and they are kicking each one of them out their butthole

    Handball from Tracc....awful.  shouldve been a shot at goal.  Minimum 7 point turnaround

     

    Petracca 5 touches, 4 turnovers. And people bang on about Oliver.

    Gold Coast can’t miss. This won’t be our night.

    • 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.
