    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.Ā 

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

    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 suspendedĀ  for this match

    It was a hard game to sit through we were sitting on the wrong wing and didnā€™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 whoā€™s the boss.

    As others have said a very frustrating game we had plenty of chances to win but did look tiredā€¦should get them this timeĀ

    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.Ā

    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.Ā

    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: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.Ā

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
