They're taking it easy and winning by 22 points.

Just get the win and no injuries and I'll be happy.

Hope you're right.

Last match against Crows, we were 16 points up with a few minutes to go .... then lost.

    What does Angus Brayshaw add to our team?

    In the position he is playing, zilch. But what if a mid goes down during the game? He’s good cover for that purpose.

     

    Back at the 'G next Sat according to Tom Morris ?? (forget his name)

    Running at 3/4 pace today. Understandable given the past couple of weeks. Just do enough to win.

    Not sure playing at the G in finals is all that much of an advantage to us. It's not like we dominate there

    That can’t be right, it’s their home game.

    That’s it. This is a dead rubber. We just need to get through it

    The whole side has been in quarantine and Aeroplanes lately

    Prediction 8 goal quarter to the Dees this quarter

    I feel like it’d be a great idea to have 2 game day threads. One negative, one positive. I drifted in here at half time and feel like I missed the part where we are 12 goals down.

    🤷‍♂️

    I think the mandate today was just get it done.

    No need for a smashing.

    Kinda shows but at least we are getting it done.

    Also taxed after monday.

    Gus needs to do more as does kozzie.

    May be due to Sydney v Gold Coast needing a venue.

    Playing in 18 degree heat in August off 5 day turnaround after a red eye from Perth doesn’t help.

    Boys looked stuffed on the HT siren

    Time to put the pedal down a la Brisbane yesterday.

    The last quarter for the last two matches haven't been stellar

     

    Bravery from Smith!

    • 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.
