We finally start to get on a roll and lose all our rucks.  We are the Shakespearean tragedy that never ends.

Agreed. I thought we were gonna be okay like richmond. Its a crying shame

Great reporting as usual from ToM bRoWnE there.

Preuss injury diagnosis: "looked annoyed coming off".

    I would have no qualms playing all three of Spargo , Pickett and Bedford together.

    Have a look at how many small forwards the Tigers roll out each week and their last few years.   They are the blueprint.

    Exactly. It's almost a case of the more the merrier. 

    We've designed a game plan that relies heavily on genuine small forwards and yet we have very few on our list. 

    I'd love to see us with two talls (Weid, Jacko/TMac), one mid-sized (Hannan/Fritsch) and the rest as smalls.

    I'd also love to see us target another 1-2 small forwards in the off-season.

    I hope not.  @DeeSpencer claims Jordan Sweet is the modern day version of Dean Cox, Jim Stynes and Aaron Sandilands.  It's a wonder why he hasn't been given a run earlier.

    he’d be a big chance to come in  His pace, pressure and intensity are needed 

    Sorry wasn't Hannan omitted then got ill any way?

    Yeah well Bradtke is a cross between Michael Jordan and Martina Navratilova.

    This is the problem with big Braydon, for a man built like Goliath he seems to break down constantly...hope its not too bad

    What is our collective diagnosis?

    An earlier twitter post by Ayrton Woolley:

    Scans later today for Braydon Preuss. A “tweak” of hip/groin according to club. Not ruled out just yet, but he didn’t look happy.
    Dees positive on Gawn progress after big running session. @9NewsMelb
     
    Doesn't sound like it is wrist slashing time!
    If nothing else it will keep bulldogs guessing.

    Yep. That's an oversight on my part but I'd prefer that our long-term setup only has one medium/makeshift forward (Hannan/Fristch/Melky etc ) and more pressure/crumbing forwards.

    If Bradtke was fit I'd debut him. I say that never even seeing him play. But based on the fact that we have no one to ruck and Gawn needs a rest not to be rushed back.

    • 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.
