VDB fractured eye socket apparently.

Bloody he'll, he probably did that in the first quarter with a head clash. Tough as.

    Probably the most frustrating and aggravating 50 point win I've ever watched. Adelaide are a truly horrible football team right now, they just cannot kick a score. Main Dees takeaways for me:

    -Steven May another fantastic game. Made Tex look like a local reserves player.

    -Clayton Oliver escaping the packs and thinking a little more with the ball was fantastic.

    -Brayshaw should only ever play on ball. This makes it hard to balance the midfield but that's what the coaches are paid the big bucks for.

    -Jackson was clearly worrying ROB with his jumping ability. Good positioning up forward too.

    -Neither Bennell or ANB impacted up forward. Small forward positions are still well up for grabs.

    Here is how bad Tex is right now - I'd rather Tommy Mac than him.

    He is a squib of the highest order.

    Anyone notice the way Jackson does those cute over the shoulder handballs into space? Whens the last time you've seen a ruckman look so fluid and mobile the way he does. 

    No wonder why we rated him so highly. He's an extra midfielder everytime we play him in the ruck. Will be elite, watch this space.

    Three quarters of puss and a last quarter of sexy time.

    Certainly wasn’t a great team effort but some great individual games. Oliver incredible. Viney all heart. May was solid all game and just as importantly gives us grunt.

    Brayshaw finally showing a few signs that he can get back something resembling form.

    Jackson yet again played a smart game down forward. Those having a crack at him aren’t paying attention. Competing strongly in the air and playing a selfless game for the other forwards.

    The skills are still a huge issue, but by the end of the game it was a 50 point win. It took a massive detour but it was job done.

    Gawn just said on fox he has an injured shoulder near the top of his left shoulder but can play through it. 
     

    Would rest him to be safe.

    tells us nothing really but we were good in patches. we are better than we were last week, but not as good as the scoreline suggests tonight. Wins over Roos and Pies and I'll eat humble pie. Until then all we did tonight was bully a poor team.

    Tomlinson back was fantastic. Clearly he hadn't played there much but hes a big body and can kick. His run was great as well. I'd love to see Goody persevere with him there. So much better than Oscar. And could play on tall or smalls

    Hey Jaded, you asked about Clarry's hair. 

    The problem with that is that Salem gave Clarry his haircut. 

    Salem should stick to his day job. A hairdresser he ain't !!!!

    Oliver when kicking the ball is a far better player.

    When kicking like tonight.

    Disagree. His foot skills are a liability

    A little sad to Max say he might not play next week. If he needs a break, give it to him though. 
     

    ANB will be suspended, but Lockhart should be ok. 
     

    Vanders is injured again? Max mentioned a broken arm of some sort? He looked proppy to me.

    No way. Goldstein will tear us apart on a game we have to win

    A lot of players have left Adelaide on questionable terms over the past few years...

    Speaks volumes that he's still there and rolling out that [censored]

    Should have rested him for this game.

    Now he's playing injured on a 4 day break against Goldstein in a harder to win game.

    This was one of those captain's calls that can backfire.

    A strong finish made it a convincing win.

    Some of the worst umpiring I have ever seen.

    A real coming of age game from Jackson and a gutsy effort from a clearly unfit Max. Let's take the 4 points and see where can go from here.

    PS the fox commentary was equally as bad as the umpiring 

    PPS Clayton Oliver FMD !!!!

    The umps clearly got on the Crows at $3 just like I did. That umpiring was worse than anything I've seen in WA over the years, land of the home cooked umpiring.

    I reckon Weid is coming on really well. Pretty unconvincing win for me even for 50 pts - it was really just the last quarter the first 3 quarters were pretty rubbish except for Viney and Oliver.

    • 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.
