    Aaaand of course the umpires in a Richmond game would be decked out in yellow and black.

    Rubbish. 

    10 rounds in we were 7-3, had scored 100 more points and conceded 100 fewer points. That's including beltings against Hawthorn and Richmond. 

    They are definitely similar to our 2018 but suggesting they are already better isn't accurate.

    They're good but not better.

    Poor and short sighted response...look at the personnel and experience.

    They are close to a fully formed team coming into their prime.

    We had no defence (Omac & Frosty), were poor on the outside and Oliver & Petracca, particularly Petracca were no where near where they are today.

    Forget the score differentials the true story was told in that 2018 prelim final.

    Carlton's 2022 story won't be realised until this year is finished but they are certainly ahead of where we were in 2018.

    Dog act from Nankervis to interrupt a young lad's debut goal celebration. Good on the Dons for sticking up for each other. Just need to do it for another 10 years without any suppliments and they might win a flag.

    Please. No one including Carlton knows where Carlton is this year.

    The Saints the most surprising team for me this year. They've shown plenty of ticker. Ratten has done a great job there.

    I just saw footage of the pregame at Dreamtime at the G. That Richmond circle around their indigenous players was class!

    Hearing people yell out ‘Car’n Narrm!’ at the footy today was brilliant. 

    It’s easy to be cynical about what impact optics create, but I really think this stuff is critical in the evolution of our country, and who we want to be.

    I would love to see all other clubs following the respectful acknowledgement of Indigenous name changes during the Indigenous round as The Narrm Demons have done. It's a great way for us all to learn some First Nation place name history. Well done Narrm!

    It's more palatable to describe it as Freo and Brisbane losing.

    You're a freakin genius !!!

    • 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?

    • POSTGAME: Hawthorn

      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.
