Clear lift in effort in the middle that quarter. But still lost the CP count.

-12 CPs, -12 hit outs, even in clearances, but the telling stat, +12 in inside 50s for a 5-point lead.

Melksham's putting in yet another half-hearted shocker. Fritsch is nowhere. Jones took a quarter to get going. vandenBerg and Harmes are making too many errors. May's a step behind where he was last week. TMac's not a ruckman and not working into it.

Petracca, Weideman, Oliver and Lever are carrying us at the moment. We have a lot of room for improvement and should, if we have any self-respect, win this game well.

    Bring back O'Mac. He's a role-player, and the defensive structure seems to work that much better, which is where their goals are coming from (breakdowns in the backline).

    Spargo also playing a good game.

    But unfortunately you won't see that on here.

    Melksham our Captain? Really. Time to show us why.

    If people can't see how bad Tmac is then you need to get your eyes checked

    He is crazy slow and has very little confidence

    Thought Jonesy had a ripper quarter with some nice goal assists.

    Well done Weids, but gee he has missed some sitters. Seriously Goody must be so frustrated with miss after miss. 

     

     Im loving Spargo back in.

    Trac too strong as is Weid.

    Would like Milkshake and Fritta  to get involved more and the umps less.

    Was a great tackle before Pickett's goal, and has found space often as a receiver

    Big coming from me, I'm  a hater

    Spargo is a footballer in a team that plays rugby union

    We're 2 years too late.

    can still get someone for him

    Tmac would be a good player 10 years ago 

    Game is way too quick for him now 

    Soooooo many missed free kicks to us that quarter.  Kossie being held on to was so obvious.  Then how many times did we have them holding/dropping the ball and not have it paid.  Were taken high - play on.

    I know our goal kicking has let us down a bit, but for crying out loud.

    North do not deserve to be in this game.

    Jones really lifted that quarter.

    Can't say the same for skipper Melksham..

    Rivers also showing plenty.

    Good signs.  Great work by the weed, just him to get a good kicking routine for all angles (there were both to the left). 

     

    Maybe that umpires  (not sure what number) but maybe his whistle is broken and thats why we aren't getting fks


    That last goal they got was very annoying.

    Lever leaving his opponent, May not getting a fist to the ball and then Rivers not making the tackle. 

    All over them but unfortunately the scoreboard doesn't reflect it. If we want to make finals we need to take the percentage today.

    Honeslty Langdons kicking is dead average 

    The action is ugly

    Same umpires as crows game same umpiring. 9-1 first quarter now 10-2 .

    That is fair enough Redleg but gee over the course of the year and even those games we've had some discipline issues.

     

    Spargo is finding space and using his strengths to advantage.

    Vision and delivery inside 50. It's a huge weakness in our game that he is capable of fixing if he is at his best

    enjoying his game.

    • 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.
