Toughest possible run home. We never have any luck with the fixture.

    We had to play these teams at some point. 2/3 games at home is ok I would’ve thought?

    My first thought was what a load of bs - as we always seem to get the best teams (conferences or not) - but the only way we get to finals is for teams above us to lose, so may as well be us who beats them.

    If ladder positions don't change, and i reckon they won't, we'll have played all of the top 6 and only 3 from the bottom half.

    Ahhh...yes...for some reason I was thinking everyone plays everyone once. Forgot it’s only a 9 round season. ?‍♂️

    Two at Casey is good, get to go to the footy in Freo which will be nice.

    We're shown we can match the bets sides, if we kick straight!

    Without looking into it, at first glance looks like we have been shafted bad 

    Would of thought 2 against top teams and at least 1 against lower team not all 3 against top 3 sides

    3 of the top 4 come on afl what a joke

    None of those teams are unbeatable. If we are serious about wanting to be a top team, we need to play against and beat the best in the competition. Meandering half heartedly through games against the likes of Gold Coast and Richmond does nothing for us. 

    Time for our senior players to stand up and for Stinear to throw things around.

    Brutal draw. I suppose they decided that because we've played Richmond and Gold Coast we don't get the byes against Geelong and West Coast as well.

    Given that we have zero depth I reckon it's lights out unless we beat the Saints and win at least one of the others. North has a reasonably tough run too. Their game against Footscray could prove important. Given that the Dogs have the free win against Richmond in the last round we probably want them to win so we can concentrate on jumping the Roos into eighth.

    Bloody Carlton are 10 points up against Freo heading into the last quarter. If they see this game out they have games against the suns and GWS to come. You’d favor them to win those them which would leave them on 6 wins. They sneak ahead of us after again having a much easier fixture (we’ll have played 3 of non-finalist teams whereas they’ll have played 5).

    Come on Freo!

    • 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.
