Four and Oh, soak it up!!!

My standout points for the game:

  • Jake Lever is a legend. BOG by far, stood up when May went down and his leadership was absolutely exceptional. Without him there, likely we'd have crumbled and lost.
  • The improvement of lower tier players like Hunt and Neal-Bullen is having a huge impact on how well we are playing. Credit to those guys to finding some great form and credit to Williams (I expect) for his impact in that regard.
  • Great that the umpires are finally penalising the throwing in congestion, good to see.
  • If we hadn't dropped all those marks and kicked for goal terribly we'd have won by about 50 goals, no doubt.

    Best win by the club since the 2018 semi final.

    Loved the intensity and the repeat ferocious tackles throughout the whole game. 

    Completely agree, the intensity was evident since first bounce and never let up.

    All I want now is May to be ok , a pizza , a bourban and a chance to call my brother in law and gloat that his cats are cooked.

    Jake Lever proved his value with “that” display of leadership after the Brayshaw free. 

    There is absolutely zero doubt to even to the most ardent that we got the trade right!

    Usually there are a few saying the umpires weren’t bad, but how about now?

    Terrible for both teams in my opinion but I did feel like Geelong had some lucky frees that lead to goals which impacted the game more. That umpire with the booming deep voice was the worst. 

    Very difficult game to umpire and the view they have is radically different to the one (or multiple) views we get.

    Yep. If he is good to go, bring him in.

    Yep. Politely asked the ump what the free was for, no arguing, just reminding his teammates to keep their cool. It was great stuff.

    Spargo another great game. Hunt even better than last week (safer with ball in hand today).

    Sucks to lose May, probably for a fair while. I think we can still go OK though based on today's performance.

    Incredibly satisfying .

     

    Am I alone in thinking Hawkin's elbow wasn't accidental?

    Are Geelong now considered bad enough for people to continue saying "but the Demons haven't beaten anybody yet"?

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
