    Great decision to bring milkshake back, he is playing great footy.!!!

     

    Melksham should have been dropped when he was (actually a lot earlier) but even I, one of his most vocal critics could see he was the type of player we needed back in the team.

    He’s making our forward line look a lot more dangerous.

    Any chance we can finish with more goals than behinds? Hasn’t happened since the Brisbane win.

    Oh and Melksham stays. I can’t think of anyone at the  club that would’ve snapped that goal deep in the pocket on the wrong side for most players.

    And people didn’t think Ben Brown should play in our best side. Lolx100

    In fairness, didn't is past tense and for a while he wasn't.

    But, as with Melks and ANB, all taken back tonight.

    Fritta had better PHFO though.  Especially if TMcD is fit next week.

    Melk like I've said on many occasions gives our forward line a different dimension he is a live wire who can do the freakish.

    Fritta having a very quiet night.

    Great third quarter. 

    That being said, the wind is howling down that end.

    Tighten up and play this out boys!

    Just asking - why is that worthy of comment?

    They look nothing alike. 

    Great quarter. Melksham justifying his place in the team with some handy crumbing goals. 

    Gawn doing some nice things in the ruck and Neal-Bullen doing some good thngs to. 

    Come on dees bring it home!!!

    I would say that Jackson has done well tonight. I would let him have a solid run NicNat. He can outleap him now, just needs to make sure his taps hit the target. Will struggle body on body at the throw ins.

    No doubt. That’s not why it’s a ridiculous comment. Gawn was huge that quarter.

    Umpiring was probably more on our favour that quarter.

    Great quarter with the wind. Exaclty what we needs from some of the players who’s spot in the side not locked in.

    Hate to see us put the cue in the rack and slow it down here but it’s what we have been doing all year.

    • 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.
