Led by AVB and includes Spargo, Hannan and Jones who had the wrong jumper on,

Need to rotate out of the team.

    Wont be watching that replay?

    Again some poor umpiring but alas they couldnt steal it.

    So glad that game was played in Nt.

    I dont want to rain on that win but we all know there are a few playets that shouldnt be playing.

    Nonetheless there is some great talent emmerging in Rivers, Langdon and Trac's star keeps rising. He  used to be a poor shot on goal but kicked true today.

    Kudos to the Coaching staff we actually stop a run and gun team play on their terms.

    But what the phark were we doing in the 2nd quarter.

    These run on goals has to stop, 6 in a row last week and 4 in a row tonight, you can't allow this [censored] to happen week in week out.

     

    Would have only been two if it wasn't for Jones.

    It's harsh, but regrettably true.

    I agree. Wagner stays and we roll Harmes into the forward line / midfield. Give Kozzy a spell. He has been quite poor lately. 

    Rivers stays. Fritsch our for Hannan. AVB our but for who? Tmac for Brown.

    No way Brown goes for Tmac.

    So last week Demonland was happy to sink the boots into Goody and co for the loss against the doggies, so by the same token there needs to be big props given to him for the way we suffocated the Saints ball use. You could see at the end they tried to create to the overlap using Hill but our defence still held firm. I would go so far to say this was one of his best coaching performances, certainly on a defensive front. 

    For the players, May was clear BOG. Brad Johnson said for fox footy then that he doesn’t have that game then we do t win and that is spot on. 

    Langdon has been the pick up of the year for us, he was very prolific and mostly quite good. 

    Petracca’s midfield numbers were low but jeez his goals were huge, if it were at a ground with the goal line camera would his goal stand? Not sure. 

    Defensively we did well, but I think by the numbers we might look at this as a game we got away with a bit. We got our early lead and kept the game tight after that. I really thought that last minute of the second quarter was going to bite us. 

    But this is a massive win. Against a team that we traditionally seem to lose to, a team higher on the ladder, and an 8 point game. 

    Petracca kicking four is what makes him a star.  He might not have had the same influence up the ground, especially with Seb Ross shadowing him, but he was able to make a massive impact inside 50 which helped us win the game.

    Steven May had the game of his life He is so composed and the Captain of the back line. He is all Class and was outstanding .

    That was almost the Perfect Game. Had a big say in winning and that goes for Petracca what a GUN.

    Nathan Jones can be blamed for that and the momentum shift, as well as the onballers seemingly incapable of a defensive setup at centre bounces late in quarters.

    Called it before we marked it, only because we went backwards. Convinced the umps are under instruction about kicking backwards late in quarters.

    Under instructions to try to set up results

    Brown didn't do a lot, but did enough and did everything right

    That back with the flight contest, the long goal, and the last 3 mins clutch possession on the far side means he's still in for me

    Also, for all those worried about match ups and so froth:

    The recruit of the season, Dan Butler, didn't hit the scoreboard and had minimal impact.  What an effort from the back line as a whole.

    Was Salem on him? If so gave him an absolute footy lesson

    To be fair Pates, if May has 5 fewer decisive touches down back, we lose. I wouldn’t go overboard on Goody out coaching them. 

    I’m not a Goody basher but setting up a plan and 2 blokes winning you the game isn’t a coaching master stroke for mine but very happy with that win.

    Jones f-up was with 60 seconds to go, he didn't ruin Q2

    I almost felt we didn’t deserve to win given we had so many players with such little impact. BUT Trac sinking the Saints given they overlooked him at 1, and an article was written about it today in the HSun, has so much synergy to it ?

    Oh no 100% not knocking him, he was huge tonight. If he’s kicking 4 goals then I’m not expecting him to get huge midfield numbers but of course it means other players (Gus, Brayshaw, Clarry) need to step up.

    Must say I liked the game Omac played. The tempo style played on our terms suits him. Slows it down, less chaos. He struggles when it's fast footy and is caught out. But with May and Lever dominating, Omac looks strong as a 3rd tall. Good foot skills, generally goes with the best % kick. He might just be a late(ish) bloomer.

    • 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.
