To be honest Jaded he is leading with his head. It is brave but poor technique and to be honest, dangerous. Needs to change it.

If it was Selwood they'd all be saying it was courageous and talking about how many weeks the other guy should get

    It's weird, I don't feel like we are playing all that badly it's just little errors here and there that cost us.

    Felt a little bit the same and then I tried to think of who played well that quarter and I struggled to name one

    Goodwin needs to eyeball the midfield at half time, surely they can improve on that

     Dam buster alert! That quarter had way too much % time played in Brisvegas's forward half. Keep dishing up more of the same next half,  the pressure  will crack our defence wall. Some very gettable goals missed don't help.

    Brisbane worthy flag fancies. They are super.


     

    Not 15?????????????

    When the umpires department is led by incompetents, every kick looks further than 15m

    Hate to disappoint, but it's like this every match, every week. A crisis, ignored by the AFL brass because ???? who the [censored] can work out what they're thinking.

    Now that kick to langdon?, definitely 15 

    Poor choice by Weid to play on.

    Their general field kicking and work rate to get off their opponent is better than ours after quarter time.

    Just can't see us winning this..

    Brisbane are on another level unfortunately. 

    Agreed Dazzle. this is about if we fight or if we roll over

    signs aren't; good so far

     

    Oliver surprised because he's never had a holding the man free kick

    Anyone who still thinks we will win has rocks in their head.

    Their switch is epic. Either that or we’re not running very hard

    We are plodding.

    • 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.
