    Remember when this thread was started roughly 15 hours ago... and it was at minimum a comfortable 4 goal win.

    The concern for me is killer teams come out with the same intensity every SINGLE week.

    Our performances against bottom teams proves we dont.

    Ergo....we are not a killer team.

    We are arrogant...lazy or complacent.

    Goody should start dragging players to stop this garbage.

     

    If you think we arent trying hard? surely you can see we are  

    the hawks have beaten the swans and giants recently. No easy games in AFL

    we will get up. Have faith

    Mate. Have a cuppa, you're gonna have a heart attack or something.

    I don’t trust Melbourne.

    At this stage they are just cleaner and more desperate.  We are the reverse.  O can't find one player who's been clean and damaging with ball in hand tonight. 

    Fumble fumble fumble constantly handing it back and second to the ball aside from Maxy and Lever.

    Wow. With one of the best lists we have ever had, and we simply won't show any intensity. Getting flogged around the ball, jogging around, and getting annihilated at half forward.

    Hawthorn kicking 8.0 since quarter time is [censored] embarrassment.

    Don't let anybody fool you with talk of spirit and underdogs or any other crap.

    THE HAWKS ARE A VERY BAD TEAM.

    I know we've been winning the important games this year (and that's great) but we will never be truly feared until we bury these teams.

    If Clarksin was coaching us he would never put up with this rubbish.  They are a disgrace, pathetic front runners

    If we lose tonight we’d have the bizarre record of no losses agains the top 8 but losing to 3 of the bottom 4.

    Surely the only explanation is mental.

    Neither of those teams are top of the ladder.

    It was better when we were a rubbish side when all we had to lose were draft picks…

    Any chance we can hit a leading target inside 50 or on the Arc???

    This is pathetic. This effort is [censored] pathetic. Players should forfeit their match payments tonight regardless of the result.

    The hawks are a rubbish side that are being made to look like world beaters by us. Again we are showing a complete lack of respect for our opponents. Our worst football this year has come against the worst sides. it’s very disappointing

    I just dont think our effort is anywhere near last weeks game and my point was we struggle agsinst bottom sides while cats smash them. Its a fair comment.

    • 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.
