Just looked our marking numbers this year. I know we are a game behind but our total marks for the year is the lowest.

 Not good.

 

With growing confidence from last week's performance, expect Demons to authoritatively take on Hawks.

Dees by five goals.

Jackson to surprise with 2 goals.

Weid to kick 3.

We will keep the Hawks to no more than six goals.

Yes, I'm probably partially drunk.  Maybe.

 

Goodwin just said in his pre-match interview that we're expecting Hawthorn to play faster today.

Let's hope he's right and they don't go the Geelong-style slow chip kick game.

Not sure of relevance. We're 13th for marks per game (higher than our opponent today).

Clarkson's MO is to let the 1st qtr unfold see what the op set ups are.  Move chess pieces around at qtr time.  Let 2nd qtr unfold.  Make more moves at half time.

Beware the coach that is not paying attention or is slow to react to Clarkson's moves.

All on our coaching box today.

    I couldn't watch a Melbourne game only partially drunk.

    You know how that goal came about?

    Brayshaw went to sleep on the wing.  His player ran forward, got the ball and then had an eternity to hit Gunston on the chest.

    Not good enough.

    Weiderman needed to clunk that. He looks like Jake Spencer sometimes in contests.

    Never looked like it.

    It's a shame as the effort from Pickett was terrific.

    Oliver’s disposal by foot is atrocious at times. 

    What do you mean at times.


    Oouff. Their pacing and spread is killing us.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
