    Walker is legit one of the least pleasant humans to look at going around.

    Hopefully our class will show 2 nd half     but a few look tired.    10 in a row is bloody hard to do but  we can do it

    How ridicoulous is that decision. I don't like bagging the umps but seriously. My 5 year old could tell that wasn;t deliberate

    Agree.  It’s a joke.

    I think a loss is not the end of the world. But losing because defensively we are falling apart is really disappointing. 
     

    Crows playing in front. This will be an arm wrestle which could go either way, or we will turn on the after burners and kick away.

     

    The umpires need to learn how far 15m is.

    Hopefully they draw inspiration from the North game where we struggled through the first half but rebounded strongly after half time. 
     

    We haven’t looked this incapable of stopping a side’s ball movement in a long while.

    They are using the ground space much better than us. We are going direct and turning it over and their transition is slicing us apart. Our mids need to enhance defense pressure.

    Ditto. It’s the big call out by Goody at half time.  Two way running needed.  

    If Tex got in Fritsch’s head there it would just sum up the half and how a team sitting 9-0 has been intimidated by an average team who has shown a bit of skill but relentless work rate to win the footy. 
     

    Lift.

    why are people so negative on here? this is basically how every game has gone this season.

    In one half, the crows have nearly kicked the average FT score against us this year...

    Defence has been woeful (Jetta poor, May having a mare, we are missing Salem big time), skills have been sloppy, we're giving too much room and generally look gassed.

    I know we have to lose at some point, but I'd rather it was not to these posers.

    Hoping Weid can prove his worthiness in the side in the last 2 quarters.

    As for our small forwards in ANB, Spargo and Kossie, wake the puck up.

    Very untrue. Adelaide are cutting us up through the middle and are transitioning with ease. Our backline has been very very poor and loose. This is the first time it’s happened all year.

    We haven't got our match ups right. Tex is winning on the lead vs Petty but it's a win for Petty in the one on one.

    May has had one effective spoil all game on a 5 gamer.

    Lever has the small but Crows don't mind that as they are fine taking the short option and or trying to rove the pack.

    Langdon and Hunt are the keys for us to win this game. We need speed to match them as they are breaking very easily.

    We are desprately missing some movement out of defence.

    Langdon had ripper first quarters but that 2nd one was not good.

    Jordon has hardly touched it.

    Anb and Spargo twiddling their thumbs.

    Hunt and Petty are  just not moving.

    Im surprised scores are level.

    Melksham started well too but was mia in that quarter.

    A big shout out to Max and Trac but we were poor in that quarter. 

    Scores are level though so why are the commentators just raving avout the crows.

    We are not five goals down.

    Give us a break.

    Hary Lyon shame on you. This was your club mate. Just calm down Gary.

     

    Backline looks so shaky. Will need Kosi magic to get out of this one with a W.

    North killed us for a half, they couldn't miss a target.

    • 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.
