    Any news on what has happened to Chandler    is that him sitting on the bench in the blue top finished for the day ?

    I think he just showed why he won't make it...

    He's good out on his own but no idea in any kind of traffic.

    Whole career based on 1 decision? My god

    Can’t say that I’m a big fan of Tomlinson at FB. 

    Every team will try to isolate him deep and draw May away. We need the forward pressure to stop that happening. He’s awful one on one. As is Lever.

    Mids got tired that quarter. And even more so half backs I think. Tigers work rate even when losing and in to the breeze is first class

    If you watched his career to date and this game in particular.

    He gets lost in traffic, just not good with contact.

    That contest was typical not a one off...

    ...but you believe what you will.

    Dominant in the first half of the quarter but then got pegged back similar to what Richmond done to us in the second quarter. Lever, Gawn and Petracca outstanding. Chandler was outstanding too until he unfortunately got injured.

    Marking contests are hard but that wasn’t even it, was a ball bouncing around that he just had to kill.

    He’s Toumpas with pace to get out of traffic at times.

    2nd term;

    1) We saw the good and bad of Hunt. His opponent Castagna got off leash and is probably Tigers best. But Jayden provided run and dash and his one-two with Jordan and then long kick to T.Mac saw him take us from deep defence to forward line in an instant - Tiger defenders had no chance of switching to stop it. T.Mac missed shot - unusual for him.

    2) Trac (our best quarter one) had shocking quarter with terrible disposal, Chandler and Jones running into space as small forwards impressive.

    3) Gawn resting forward when Jacko goes on ball is huge and a point of difference that is exploiting Tiger defence.  

    3rd term.

    1) Gawn's goal from outside 50m and general play excellent. Easily BOG at this stage but will be required big time to stave off Tigers who have wind this quarter.

    2) Highlights: Rivers took one kick-in and dummied, had bounce and with wind sent it the edge of our forward 50m. Oliver's goal from ball-up where he had give-go with Trac and then wobbled it home. Lowlight: Chandler off with what looked a serious wrist injury.

    3) Super team goal with Spargo handball over head, ANB deliberate handball under players leg leading to Chandler goal.

    Tough quarter coming up against the wind.

    Some excellent ruck work that quarter, Gawn and Jackson.

    Good slings off the half back from Rivers.

    I sometimes wonder about us sometimes, we get a run on, we look great, young chandler just slams home his second and I think this kid looks alright, we look alright,  then the next minute the same kid is running to the interchange holding his arm and we let Richmond boot the next 2 or 3 and im left shaking me head again

    We've got to work on holding the ball in our forward line. Leaks like a sieve. 

    Need to work on our tackling to prevent the opposition getting the ball out cleanly so often.

    Sure you were chirpy when he was jaggin goals from the boundary against the giants, but I wouldn’t want to base my opinions on him off one play ?

    Chandler is doing alright. 

    Went off injured arm. Has had 3 arm breaks. Hope he is ok.

    Back on looks ok and kicks his 3rd. Kid having a good game.

    The long bomb kick outs need a plan for what happens next. Be it keep going forward, move it wide to one side or keep numbers in tight. It looks great until it goes back the other way just as fast.

    Id like to see the tall under the high ball just punch it to one side

    Chandler seems ok for someone who's just slammed through his third.

    Out of interest... did anybody else feel Steven May probably should have gotten a free for head contact during that marking contest? 

    Commentators are too busy to look at the gameplay.

    Chandler back on and just kicked a corker of a goal near the boundary.

    He’s been the big story of the day IMO.

    74-61 but Richmond lining up for a goal.

      We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

      The final game of the 2025 Season is finally upon us and the Demons may have an opportunity to spoil the Magpies Top 4 aspirations when they face them on Friday Night. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons were sloppy all day and could not stop the run and carry of the fast moving Hawthorn as the Hawks cruised to an easy 36 point win. Is the season over yet?
