    Interesting how much confidence affects the ability to hit targets

     

    Players are running fwd off the ball making targets. Tackling ferociously. Pressure is immense. 

    Completely shut the hawks game down. 

    Something has clicked. When we play like this you question where it has been for 18mnths

     

    Let's finish this off dees

    Can always rely on you for a negative comment even when we are playing so well

    Not me noting the mistakes and posting them, I liked what I saw in 2nd quarter, hope for more off the same in 3rd, if we make a mistake, we are scrambling to fix it

    The joys of kayo. Watching the second quarter again.

    How was that kick by tracc to weed? Bullet!

    I’m just worried we will stop in the second half. Five goals is not a big enough margin and with a percentage as low as ours we need to keep going.

    Five goals is a margin we love to concede but I just can’t see Hawthorn getting near us.

     

    Our poise has been better but alot to improve on, better kicking inside 50 would have resulted in another 3-4 goals. 

    Overall we just look so much more balanced with Omac and a Second tall Forward in the side, releases Lever to intercept to his hearts delight.

    Gawn and Petracca on another Lever right now.

    Good times Demonland.

    Anyone else noticed Nev playing a completely different role

    Yes. Best he's played in a long time. Lockhart is doing the lockdown role while Nev has been left off the leash

    Can't remember the last time we took 10 contested marks in a match let alone in a half. Amazing

    • 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.
