    Great win.  Players fading in the last.  2 weakened by covid. 3- 4 hadn't played AFL tempo for a while.

    Bank the 4 points and move on.

    bank it and move on

    Very few highlights save that Bedford is ready.

    Not sure what if anything it did to solve the Weid v T Mac debate

    Need to play a lot better next week

    Full credit to Hawthorn.

    But Max and Tracca stood up big time.

    so to Oliver.

    The reliable trio.

    Nice cameo from Bedford

    The absolute putrid biased commentators were over the top.

     

    How about talking up the team with 5 out

    Very happy for Bedford. A game which could turn out to be a blessing in disguise.

    We were cooked in the last. Our forward entries were as bad as possible

    Top 8 taking shape.  Cream rising to the top.

    No matter what happens this round we will be 2 games clear of 5th team (and maybe 4th).

    Strong position.

    When you win under those conditions it proves you are a very good team. Go Dees!

    The Hawks are always a nuisance against us, I'm just glad we take the points and there were some good positives today (not the covid ones), like Bedford. 

    Another game where we should take the 4 points and move on, hopefully with more of our list available.

    A little wobbly at times, but we'll get there - definitely by the time we win the flag again this year.

    A wakeup call without losing is a good result, hawthorn showed everyone the blueprint on how to beat us, take it quick through the corridor and keep lever accountable. 

    Need to tidy up our forward fifty entries as well, we kept sitting it on top of a contest and expected someone to clunk it which didnt look nearly as good hitting up a lead. 

    I think this game also shows how important Goody is, feel like his influence on the boundary line is a lot more important than we know

    Watching 2 teams having a red hot go, both butchering the ball at every opportunity, both equally clumsy, sloppy and error-riddled, for the Dees to do things 5% cleaner and get the win. So glad we bat deep int our list because that was very close to a loss tonight.

    A lot of rusty players, and by the end of the game, tired. 

    But we won, are still on top, and so far can take on every challenge.

    • 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.
