Jetta unfortunately looks cooked.

I was shocked that he came in...

    Backline and forward lines both struggling massively. Crowd transition out of defense is putting us under huge pressure. They always have 2-3 players waiting to rush it out.

    We also are badly missing Salem.

    They are playing well with their short kicks. 

    We have shown up though.

    Wow we got sliced open through the middle then. 

    If Salem is seriously injured, we can kiss the premiership goodbye. We look a hot mess down back. 

    If we could stick a tackle and keep a track of the matchups when running back we would be 3 goals up.

    May has had an awful game reading the incoming ball so far.

    Folks. I think we're in a game today. 

    Credit to the crows. they're taking the game on through the corridor.

    What really cheesed me off was the moment we lost a couple of centre clearances they scored. Nothing like how we’ve been lately defensively

    Can’t believe I’ve only got 3 beers left in the fridge. 
    Hurry up half time.

    I really do think the sun has been influencing a lot of that. 

     

    Credit to Adelaide, they have been bold. When they get the ball in their defence they move it quickly with short kicks and then get their handball running game going. I don’t know if we are allowing them to do it by being too loose but for me it looks too easy. 

    We had some very good chances to get some more goals but fluffed it, disappointing that Melksham couldn’t make the distance as he’s usually a better kick than that. 

    We’ve given up a good 2 very cheap goals, we’re in front but at 3 goals in front with 5min to go I would’ve hoped to be further in front at quarter time.

    • 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.
