Best game since 2018.

 

Tracc and Gawn were immense.

 

Ive seen a few mention it, but I reckon Langdon deserves a heap of praise. Last week was good, this week we saw exactly why we went after him. Runs and Runs and runs and hit his targets today. 
 

also thought Clarry improved as the game went on. Getting better at picking when to handball and when to kick. Still has to be a focus though. 

Definitely an improvement from Oliver, but that handball to Max was a shocker.

    Smashing Hawthorn makes the apocalypse feel way better. 

    Oscar has come in and said listen [censored], don’t listen to what Simon says, this is my world and this is how you’re setting up. 

    Petrecca is something else. The balance and movement plus  explosion stands out likes dogs balls in an era of ugly footy. Really bringing the joy back for me. 

    Gawn took the [censored] all day. 

    Oliver and Viney were a driving force. Bullies. 

    Brayshaw half good half awful. Which one is really him?

    Jackson played a better game than Tomald has for 12 months. Promising stuff. Bennell and Kozzie also played really well up forward. 

    So good to see Weed making a difference. 

    And Langdon played like what Scully should’ve become. 
     

    Speaking of Scully, best part was when a 200 kilo Italian ran away from him like he wasn’t there.

    We've been building towards this kind of display. Can't wait until we do it against a good side. Next week hopefully.

    With Jackson do we actually have one of the few, true 'all rounder' type players.

    If his tank is good enough he can run around with the midfield, kick some goals in the forward line and take some saving marks in defence. Similar to Gawn in a way, but more athletic and dynamic at ground level.

    Exciting!!

    Who are the other 4 above him out of interest? Can’t imagine any of them are bossing games like Trac is at the moment.

    Agree. Which is why I am happy to praise the good work, but coaches must continue to highlight the poor decisions. The want to go back into traffic and create issues for himself and then dump a handball to relieve the pressure, which in turn puts another player under pressure. He has to cut it out of his game, but I will back him to do so, as it’s apparent he is working on it

    Neale wasn't great this week. Still susceptible to a tag.

    I could easily write about the performance of our Hollywood midfield.

    But instead I am going to make special mention of Oscar McDonald. I've been incredibly hard on this kid but he's proved me wrong and making me eat humble pie. He's a complete different player and it's no coincidence that May and Lever are back to their best.

    Well done Oscar, you've shut me up for good.

    Kozzie and Jackson are going to be something else huh...

    Good four quarter effort. That should be minimum expectation.

    Well done Weiderman. Imposing performance.

    Yeah just not inside the defensive 50 to Maxy when he is doing his shoelaces up.

    The way he moves reminds me a lot of Bontempelli, though maybe that's the hair!

    How good is it to have a real wing man that has a tank and is quick? And knows how to find space. 

    I keep hearing about his poor kicking skills but I think he is alright. He was really important in the first half

    Totally agree, it’s not out of his game yet, I’ve conceded that. He needs to continue to review it.

    2-0 with Weid and OMac in the side
     

     

    3-0 with Bennell

    Bennell has never lost a regular season game in a Melbourne jumper.

    Pathetic effort from Scully really. Didn't even try and catch him.

    Scully is a Sqi..b Of the highest order Elite nobody!

    • 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.
