    Absolute joke.

    They are useless. They don’t rewrite the rules differently each week


    Our kicking for goal is putrid.

     

    But the umpiring is worse.

     

    They can make all the rule changes they want, but I want to see star midfielders play without being flattened off the play too.

    We had our opportunities and didn't capitalise. GWS gifted goals either through umpires or poor defense. A bit more polish and control of the play and things can turn quickly. We are playing right into their hands though.

    For me, this is the difference between us and the serious contenders: Oliver had two straightforward shots on goal, Gawn one, Kozzie a fairly straightforward one - not a single goal from any of them. 

    On top of that kicking into the forward line. ANB misses Tom MacD by a metre, turnover, up the other end, goal.

    Lots of positives, but it's this inability to finish that costs us.

    Yep and they have given him 2 chances at goal and he has botched both. 

    Put Oliver in the bloody forwards line.

    When you think warning signs, you think that quarter. 

    Ball spends heaps of time in our forward half but inefficiency and missed set shots mean we don’t capitalise. They break fast and score 6 times from 11 inside 50s. 

    I do not like the look of this.

    Tbere were a lot of back slappers last week when we came back after being challenged let's see if this team really does have the right stuff

    I thought we got out coached that quarter, so it will be interesting to see the response. They don’t want to kick it long as we have Lever, May and Gawn behind the play.

    • 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.

      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.
