I'd love to know how our most important player pulls up in Oliver. He definitely copped a whack in that game and didn't look the same after it.

Interestingly, just watched the last quarter again and Petty actually grabs at his hamstring late in the game too. Will be fascinating to see what thw club reports...

    Bit of a negative, but jeez Tom McDonald looks absolutely cooked.

    He won't get dropped, but I honestly think the week off is probably the worse for him. He's put in 2 ordinary games in a row now and I think he's someone who needs game time and continuity.

     

    Posted similar after last weeks game and got several face palms. It's not just the last 2 games, his last good game was against Pot Adelaide, has done little since. I really hope we can get him back into form.

    Re the umpires, made an acceptable amount of mistakes but were  the best we've had in weeks I never got upset at  any stage, mostly sensible umpiring.

    Most will be happy to facepalms rather then explain their narrative. Ridiculous really.

    McDonald won't get dropped, but it's a bit of a concern. The bye would be the worse thing for him. He needs continuity more then anything.

    It was only a few weeks ago that it looked like he'd done his hamstring (can't think which game it was) and came off the ground, only to return and see out the match - much to everyone's surprise.

    Maybe he has had another episode of the classic "hamstring awareness" and will be fine to play next game.

    If that was the case they would have taken him off with 5 mins to go and kept May on

    Hopefully it's just cramp.  Week off will certainly help.

    While 2019 was a horrid year, brought us Jackson, Pickett & Rivers in draft.

    Add Spargo, Petty, Jordan, Fritsch, Sparrow, Bowey, just great drafting!

    That we are one of the youngest teams and playing so well is just brilliant.

    Fantastic win on the back of youth. Primed to win this year and be in the frame for next 5 years.

    Terrific win last night, just straighten up kicking, and ten goal win!

    Go Demons!

    9 PLayers from the last 4 drafts

    9 Players playing their first final

    9 players under 22

    There's a lot to like here...

    Viney won 5 free kicks, and gave none away (next best was one 3, then all 2’s and 1’s). He was better than solid. Played his normal uncompromising inside game that demands oppo attention (for which he was rewarded) and makes life so much better for Tracc and Clarry. Didn’t overplay his role, was a perfect team-oriented effort. I reckon he’s reset from his 2 week holiday…..a blessing in disguise. 

    He was also denied a couple of frees too. One from Cockatoo who virtually shouldered into Viney's legs catapulting him into the air and making him spin like a top. Also another time when he had his head nearly ripped off, but by all means play on.

    He was amazing on the Rewatch. He is going to be an absolute monster when he is 23-24. Huge frame already and a fantastic tackler. Next-gen Viney, and absolutely built for finals.

    Have to edit my opinion about TMac. For most of the night I thought he was with Harris Andrews, trying to keep him from intercepting. Having re-watched a lot of the game, it turns out that Andrews was on Brown, and he simply had a shocker. Brown had his measure in almost every contest, and Andrews was struggling to figure out where to stand or what to guard. 

    This also means that simply put, TMac had a shocker. No way do we drop him though.

    To answer a former question here, we won’t be wearing our alternate for the rest of the season. If Port make it, they will wear clash strip

    Didn't like the Cockatoo one in real time. Could have blown Jack's knee out.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
