I think we'll just have to accept the goal kicking boots just aren't on tonight, so we'll have to win this ugly. Well, uglier then it's already been anyway. 

Can't wait to never talk about this game after the win.

    Our goal kicking is beyond bad. This game should be done and dusted.

    Still kicked 5-7 but at least been have a lead. Hopefully we get a run on in the final quarter & kick more goals than behinds

    Hunt really dumb coming inside there.  Had plenty of time to stop prop and try & hit a target.  Instead the red veil continues.

    Tracc pretty much the same from 50 in the clear earlier

    We’ll if it wasn’t for those 19 points we’d only be up by 2.

    10-20 frees our way. So expect the mother of all even ups this last quarter.

    The stats are showing that we are making a total mockery of them. This should literally be a 50 point lead. Need to kick at least 3 in this last quarter, just need to do enough and we're off.

    Jeez Weideman would want to do something decent in the last.

    Surely he doesn't have many goat photos left?

    Fritta blasted trac for blazing away at the goals

    Too many selfish shots on goal

    Yep we are 10 goals up except we can’t kick for goal.

    Better in that quarter, but there is a reason to be concerned.

    I am concerned about some of the more selfish shots on goal. Instinctive football is one thing but this reminds me a bit of the Collingwood loss last year when everyone was trying to bring about 'the play' to spark the team. We were all so interested in being 'the hero' we ended up kicking ourselves out of the game.


    The thing about this game for my eyes, we have had total domination across the vast majority of the game except for a few very short periods of time. This is a 15 goal win that will likely only be a few goals due to poor kicking. Don’t let the score be misleading

    Richmond are nowhere near us in quality. Miles away. Yet they’re actually still in the game. If it weren’t so disturbing, it’d be funny. 

     

    Not sure you can blame Weid with the ball coming in. It's been atrocious. And he still has two and has competed strongly in the air. 

    Smith a liability defensively. No time for him whatsoever.

    • 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.
