         Hawkins what a fair player he is . If he's not hitting, pushing or holding people behind the play, he's trying to drive them into the ground or accidentally put his elbow or forearm into no particular part of any body and I would hate to have a sob like him playing  for us..

    Why does Port get 15 days off

    We get 14 days off.  Shouldn't make any difference to either team.

    That was a bog ordinary game. 

    Objectively we are a much better side than Geelong and should win if we can avoid a run of goals like last time.

    Nonetheless I’ll be having nightmares all week.

    Well if we win the prelimin then we get the extra day break heading into the GF.

    Why does Port get 15 days off and a game against the lower ranked finals team in a prelim for finishing 2nd? 
     

    Riddle me that. 

    Because the AFL wants every team to get a 7-day break in finals, there is bugger all difference between a 13 and a 15 day break and we got the easier of the qualifying final match-ups. If we can’t roll Geelong we don’t deserve to win.

    If we end up playing Port in the GF we will have both hosted games against the Cats and Lions to get there so same same. And you could argue we have a bigger advantage vs Geelong given the rest week.

    Plus we’ll get an extra day before the GF if we make it.

    Are you serious?

    There's no meaningful difference between 13 days and 15 days off. They're obviously going to give Geelong and the Dogs/Lions winner 7 days each rather than give Geelong 8 days but Dogs/Lions 6 days.

    And Port gets the "lower ranked" finals team in the prelim because they already had to beat the higher ranked finals team in their QF.

    Are you seriously complaining about this?

    Gives us the extra day off if we win before the Grand Final. We also beat the lower ranked team last week so a cross over has to happen.

    I believe we can cover the Cats players, it’s the guys in yellow that really me on tonight’s performance. Not totally sure we can cover all of them.

    No goals by Giants until about 10 mins into the 2nd quarter will kill a team every time.

    We must come out with huge pressure from the start next week.

    The Giants had 2 players with less than 5 games played tonight. They have a mammoth injury list. 
    Cats were almost full squad. Danger can’t play with a tag. 

    Cats had 3-4 goals from pretty soft frees.

    I reckon Hawk will carry that cork into next week so time for May to get even.

    Given our last PF performance, I’m sure Goody and the playing group will come out breathing fire to make amends for it.

    Might just be time to review that game after all, Goody. Get the boys angry and pumped.

    At least 2 of Hawkins' goals were blatant frees against. Huge push in back and 'dont argue' to the face.

    Who were the umps tonight? They can [censored] right off till 2022

    Large number of our 22 didn't play in that game. No longer needed imo.

    Half the team will say about half the side in red and blue, "who are these doofuses and who let them onto a footy field?"

    Just consign that match to the history books and never look back.

    You challenge the best to be the best.

    It's as simple as that.

    We've had our break, now its time to crush these mofo's into submission. 

    No excuses or theories about 13 day vs 15 day break we just pulverise these [censored] into oblivion.

    It's a prelim final.

    • 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.
