My one word analysis of the Pies game - PLEASING

PLEASING - To beat this mob anytime, any place any how.

PLEASING - To win three in a row is such convincing fashion.

PLEASING - to see Spargo snag a few with good positioning and movement. He also looks to have benefited physically from a good pre-season

PLEASING - to beat this team by 10 goals

PLEASING - to see a full 4 quarter performance from the team

PLEASING - to see a good even performance from the midfield.

PLEASING - to see Sparrow develop very well and look at home in a top class midfield

PLEASING - to watch Preuss' performance in the absence of Max

PLEASINGĀ PLEASINGĀ Ā PLEASING

    One other PLEASING aspect to the broadcast of the game was the vision of the rest of the list's reaction to the win and the smiles and cheering from the race. they look like a happy mob.

    Coaches votes are in:

    6Ā  Ed Langdon (MELB)
    6Ā  Clayton Oliver (MELB)
    6Ā  Angus Brayshaw (MELB)
    4Ā  Christian Petracca (MELB)
    3Ā Ā Steele Sidebottom (COLL)
    3 Taylor Adams (COLL)
    2 Charlie Spargo (MELB)
    Ā 
    WOW.Ā  Big difference in view of the coaches!Ā  Best guess split:
    5/1, 5/1, 4/2 for either Langdon/Oliver/Brayshaw
    4 for Petracca
    3 for Sidebottom
    3 for Adams
    2 for Spargo
    Langdon, Oliver and Brayshaw the only ones to get votes from both coaches.Ā  But coaches had a very different view on who was best or second best on the ground.Ā  Or 3rd best or 4th best or 5th best...
    Ā 

    That'sĀ as big a disparity as we have seen I suspect

    Watching just the highlights and I'm embarrassed by the favouritism we received from the umpires. It's not the first time I've said that vs. Collingwood. Strange. But I don't know how you could live with yourself being a West Coast fan. Also Spargo everywhere.Ā 

    Watching the actual replay and Lockhart has a long way to go still. Love his endeavour but he was out-positioned or -manoeuvred on multiple occasions and cost us in my opinion at least half the Pies' goals. Still happy for him to stay there. Or get Rivers in.Ā

    I think that was also Gary Pert in with the players at the end of the game.

    Good look that he was not with the corporates.

    Showing his support to the team.Ā Emotionally Intelligent, well done, especially after his spray.Ā Ā

    Agree. So often It's the exact opposite.

    Langdon was good but I certainly didnt think that good. OliverĀ has being awesome with his disposal the last 3 games. Now playing very clever footy. Gus has done a 360 and showing what we hoped he would. Definately found his calling in the middle. Trac going from strength to strength. Midfield is back to being rightly feared. Spargo puts in 110%.

    Langdon is now consisently very good because he is using his tank to burn off opponents and becomes a sole target and/or outlet player.Ā  It looks like he's doing it easy but its not his fault his opponentn can't keep with him.

    One of my favourite players now.

    Couldn't agree more 17

    The number of times this year he has been on his own, screaming for the ball, has been amazing. He seems to, until recently,to have been largely ignored by the midfielders

    He made a huge difference to our connectivness and cohesiveness.

    Brtlett was the one who gave the spray not Pert. Was good to see him there tho I agree, was sitting on the bench during the game as well, nice to see him get a win against his old mob.

    Keep it in mind he did it against Philips I think who has been an outstanding wingman for a few years.

    • 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 defeatĀ  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 Footscrayā€™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 weekā€™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.
