For the last two seasons now we’ve played poorly in second quarters. 
You can’t be at 100% for 4 quarters. So it’s just a matter of minimizing the damage. So far we haven’t been blown apart in second quarters other than against the Dogs who piled on 7 goals. 
 

Not worried about last quarters. We’ve had games just about won in the last and have been parking the bus to conserve energy. 
We can go for 4 quarters if we need to.

    Interesting to see when we play Freo if they come home with a wet sail. Haven't been watching them, but maybe they've upped their fitness to run out games.

    Unfortunately tge afl dropped the only bloody thing I liked about their stats - AFL StatsPro, the video program that counts stats and shows (showed) every involvement of every player for every game.

    David King has pointed out that they have 5 mids who dominate the time in the middle. So that may be a depth issue or a ‘hardening’ and ‘resilience’ tactic but it means that fatigue from Walsh, Cripps, Kennedy, Hewett, pittonet, and Cerra will arrive more than most teams - especially when not used to that workload. We have 3 that have played 80% or more in the middle which I would guess to be CP5, CO13, and JV7 - hardened stars.

    You never want to bomb in any quarter but if there is one where I don't mind a slight drop off it's the second. Our 3rd quarters in recent times have just blown the league away.

    They've beaten Crows by 1pt, Lost to Saints by 10, smashed Eagles by 55, easily the Giants by 34 and the Bombers by 48. Very easy draw so far, Blues and Cats the next 2 will show where they're at.

    Stats, stats, stats, Rising Stars, Norm Smith, AA - only one stat interests me and the way our boys, playing “Team First” footy it seems they too, seek only one stat

    More dumbing down of the AFL website which I find shallow in content and almost unusable

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
