Hopefully next time we get the wind behind us we will be smart and kick more than we handball.

Nice work from Gus who put himself in the perfect spot. But snuffs it. Gotta nail those.

10 second display of why Melksham will never get dropped 

 

We certainly have to work hard for our kicks.Kicks

Brayshaw could've had a hand in 2 as well, but missed. 

Disappointing finish there.  Should have kicked that.

Pretty average start but, hey, we lead.  Lots of improvement still to come and we generally start slow.

 

Surely a 50 against Papley for being in Brayshaw's protected zone?

He should have kicked that regardless, though.

We played poorly but have a 3 point lead. Question is whether the breeze will cause us grief in the second quarter.

Hope we don't regret missed opportunities now that they have the wind in the second,


Anybody noticed Brayshaw has a subtle physical similarity to Rod “Tilt” Carter? 

Midfield. It’s all about the midfield. Swans are playing a spare down back so unless we can win some clearances we will keep battling a congested forwardline which Sydney love. 

Hopefully next time we get the wind behind us we will be smart and kick more than we handball.

Hopefully Weid can get a touch soon.

At least we rallied late.

Why does Melksham give away lazy head high frees all the time????

Great pressure from Sydney then. They’ve got the matchups right so far. Goodwin will have to make a change or three to make a break.

Will he do it?

Alarm bells ringing for me we don’t look switched on at all soft tackling, back to just bombing it in and mids hesitating with ball in hand and getting caught or smothered. This quarter against the wind will be a test of how much we want this.

Bit hard when our forward 50 entries have been abysmal. 

Spargo. Great snap but that was Wagners goal. Great pressure/spoil

  • 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.
