Unbelievably glad to know I'm not alone. 

Definitely not alone. Canโ€™t stand them.

We're kicking to a designated spot as if we had three talls. 

THIS!

No point in waiting for a positive comment during the game call from these sheet callers.

 

NO forward structure but ahead. 
Ridiculous.

The heat on Oliver in this thread is quite unexpected. 

3rd best on ground for us after May and Langdon IMO.

Agree what the pfark is wrong with some people?? TALL POPPY SYNDROME


Stanley Laurel Harmes and Oliver Hardy show is not amusing.

Clear message at half time...

Dump the Hollywood nonsense now!

Merett 21 uncontested possessions. Shut him down.

But regroup & have a big 2nd half where hopefully we kick straight & roll home

We have to shut him down I agree. 

It would help if his direct opponent around the ground (Brayshaw) completed some form of defensive gut running.  I saw Merrett compete and win a ball on the wing and run forward whilst Brayshaw hung back.  Merrett hit a team mate on the forward flank on the chest, fan past for the handball receive and nearly lace a player at full forward all whilst Gus was 70m away.

 

 

All the great defensive work not being rewarded in our forward 50. Frustrating to watch. ?

Game day threads are always a head scratcher.

Oliver has continued what he started last week at half time. Take the game on, dont be afraid to take risks to generate run.

When it doesnt work it looks terrible as he gets caught. But at least he is taking the game on the way the coach wants.

I understand that some supporters will attack him for it when it doesnt come off and claim him saviour when it does.


demons getting ahead of themselves picking a small forward line. Fritch has done well and so has mcDonald but they have always had another tall taking the oppositions big men as well. The next half will show what sort of team we are , are we fighters and worthy of being on top of the ladder or are we back to failing against weak opposition as we did against adelaide and collingwood.

Heat of the moment comments ought to be taken with a grain of salt.

Anyone else think that goal kicked by Jones was already in the front row when his boot connected? What a joke to show a blurred ball on the replay as apposed to the real time. Blatant effing cheating. 

Clearly a goal.

Kozzie needs recalibration at Casey 

Do we put him into the middle to shadow Merret?

Leave Harnes in there also.

Tracc to HF.  Viney relieves Tracc at HF and plays a bit of time in the middle on occasions ...Kozzie goes forward again when he does

Kozzie needs to pass the ball off more often especially when having set shots from an angle or a long way out.

Well I must be in the minority I donโ€™t think Ben Brown would have made the slightest bit of difference so far.

I thought we lifted in the 2nd when Oliver started to dominate.

  • 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 Footscrayโ€™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 weekโ€™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.
