    The main reason we lost to them last year was we had heavy legs due to training loads and the brilliance of Toby Greene.

    No Toby Greene this time. Another regulation 4-5 goal win coming up

    We missed plenty of opportunities to win this one in the last quarter. Had plenty of the ball but didn't execute well. 

    We'd only lose one more game for the year after that one too

    Agree, no Toby Greene, no training loads, and no Mummy who definitely made Giants walk taller!

    Be interesting to see Pruess against Max, followed by Jackson!

    Expecting a solid 5 goal win - even though would love to see a big win, but hard to argue with Demon game philosophy after last years ultimate success!

    Go Demons!

    Pruess should be suspended  for this match

    It was a hard game to sit through we were sitting on the wrong wing and didn’t get to see much action up close. We were lethargic and made a lot of errors whereas they made every opportunity stick. Looking forward to a good win and seeing Max show Preuss who’s the boss.

    Pruess won’t be lining up from the looks of things

    As others have said a very frustrating game we had plenty of chances to win but did look tired…should get them this time

    They have a very, very good midfield, and then no other real strengths. Some individual players have real skill but our defence mindset should cover them.

    You are correct. The result is left resting with the umpires; their obvious preference(s) lie time and again with GWS.

    What a day this was, thought we might have blown our top 4 chance and it also turned out to be the last time we could go to the G that year. What happened next speaks for itself and it's time to atone for it this Sat.

    When going through the replays one by one during the off season I thought that last quarter was one of our best until that time.

    We didn't score but we did everything else extremely well

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
