Interesting free against max there right at the end of the QTR , sounds like the umps are going to call him for the "straight arm block" again

    Can someone shed some light how there was no 50m penalty paid when Jones (StK) was [censored] around and not getting off the ball??

    Absolute [censored] take, it was no different to what Fritsch did and he was penalised 50m.

    Nice to see set shots going between the bigger middle sticks. Good work boys. 

    Dramatic turn around in the number of possessions during that term

    at around the ten minute mark we were about ten down and we finished the quarter 11 up

    That quarter turned when we got on top in the middle.

    We clearly have the ability to move the ball and find scoring options against their defence. Need to stay on top in the middle.

    4 goals from 4 set shots.

    Great start from the Dees!

    Not bad from 3 less inside 50s.? Guess Tracs 70 m goal doesnt count.

    Edited by leave it to deever

    Ominous sign right on 1/4 time.

    Max pinged for the ridiculous straight arm rubbish they crucify him with. Him and only him

    Weren't we playing the Saints the last time they pulled the rubbish on him?

    Colour of the jumper only plausible explanation.

    Jones found the uncontested target

    Kicked it over his head!!


    Which team is coming out for the second quarter? That is always the worry. We are obviously prone to the Saints leg speed and quick ball movement so we have to maintain the intensity. Here is hoping!

    Need more from Gus and Oliver. They both had stinkers last week. Need to lift.

    Easy fix  -  run and jump at the ball and tap to advantage 

    He'll adjust

    That's what I thought - the game we ended up losing by 2 pts? Many dubious 50s in that game too

    We were down 0-3 and then 3-6 in clearances but finished the quarter 8-8. 

    The midfield battle is crucial.

    We had Jones on a wing at one stage, which isn't my ideal wing line up.

     Time for Ratten to make a few adjustments and shut us down.

    Slighty harsh on Oliver.  Had 7 touches and 3 clearances that term.

    Agree with Gus.  Viney only the 1 touch as well.

    Who is picking up Butler, can’t tell on TV? Must shut him down.

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
