Leppitsch, Yze, I.Smith, B.Brown and Polec add that to the class we already have in Petracca, May, Viney, Langdon, Oliver and Gawn that makes us a super team. So enjoy the ride ladies and gentleman because the flag is for us to lose next year GO DEES!

    ???????

    Look at all those chickens!

    Although even if they do all hatch, I'm worry we'd be feeding a couple of cuckoos int here to.

    And that's my quota of bird metaphors done for October.

    Are they running through the streets with it like the Olympic Torch?

    Big night on the turps Werridee?

    We are in for many more years in the wilderness / rated as an irrelevant club if you think Smith, Brown and Polec are going to be the difference that takes us to a flag.

    Smith is done & dusted.  Polec is ok on the receive and that's about it.  Brown, he will do ok if you have some lovely kicks coming inside 50 kicking it to the right height on a lead often enough.  And i don't see that sort of skill/class coming inside 50 in the bulk of this group right now.  You would need to import that as well!

    Shuffling the deck chairs i'm afraid.

    Still in the gun shop in regional Victoria on the other side of the state while we are still in lockdown in Melbourne.

    At least 4 of those names are negligible chances to be at Melbourne next year.

    Will be looking for Facebook pages to run with all these rumours soon.

    Well done Werridee, all of a sudden you're an inside sauce.

    Love your optimism and we all share the same love for the Dees. I go back to 64.

    However I agree we have a great group on each line (although these days there are no lines)

    Lots of development to come from Kosi, Spargo, Rivers, Jacko and others.

    Add a quick wingman like Alves or Tingay to the other side from Langers, and a forward big, leading marking option like homeless Bennie and I think this is a GF side.

    • 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.
