Different leg I think

 

TMac two quick goals. That’s kept us in it here. If we keep the pressure up we’ll win. It’s all down to hunger now boys. Dig in and get the job done!

    We're on top here

    Just poor kicking again.

    2g5b to 2g2b

     

    Should be miles in front

    Have to watch out for the hometown umpiring on the run home

     

     

    This match can’t end soon enough.

    how was that not holding the ball by Powell-pepper took on two tackles and dropped the ball

     

     

    And a failed fend-off. Very lucky he was on the boundary line and stepped over it

    We were outplayed for 2/3 of that quarter but we still outscored them. 

    Great work Dees. Stay strong - 1Q to go.

     

    Lucky end to the quarter.

    We were outplayed and a little flat for most of that quarter so should have plenty in the tank to run over them now.

    Thought Brown had a good QTR (and good game overall). Hasn't kicked a bag, I didn't think he would, but he's been present, in the right spots and delivered well into the 50. I reckon he'll sink one in Q4. A confidence building game so far.

    We’ve extended our lead each quarter.

    Time to step on the windpipe and smother the breath out of them. 


    Decent sized Dees crowd behind the goals. ❤️?

    Rhetorical question - answer is easy. Port player at Adelaide Oval.

    Good 2nd half of that quarter. We got back into it. That Langdon point hurt but luckily McDonald kicked a nice goal. 

    We have led all night and at times comfortably. Now is not the time to drop it. 

    Just need to take our opportunities and continue to attack. 

    Petty has been great tonight

    It was his opposite foot. That being said, it sounded rushed anyway. Mid week I was thinking why would they. I think it’s unlucky and not related, but still a valid question.

    Peps Pig caught with the ball - no free. 

    Holding the ball every day of the week! Pick up put out the don’t argue then spin into another tackle and handball over the line, yeah throw it in. Unbelievable. 

    TMac video of the week !


    Brown + McDonald is like brownies and McDonald's - a winning combo.

    Umps saw the free kick count at halftime and have evened up the ledger.

    So now they can give them the dodgy ones in front of goal.

     

    As an aside, where was the ‘What they are saying down at Alberton’ thread this week?

    How many players can Powell Pepper take on?

    Two and then handball deliberately over the line and no frees at all.  There are diff rules for this mob or whistle just gets put away with the obvious stuff on their side much of the time.

    Gawny works Lycett off the ball in the ruck contest straight after but apparently you're not allowed to be strong in the contest!

    • 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.
