    North gave it their all, but we still never really looked in doubt. Take the 4 and move on to the next.

    Go Narrm!

    We scored more than 90 and conceded less than 60

    Our percentage went up. 

    We played without our best team. 

    We are a game and percentage on top. 

    We are clearly the best team in the comp for a whole game.

    Got the points took to the final quarter but a good margin in the end.

    The injuries hurt.

    Move onto Freo next week & need to play better

    We should have spanked them.

    Thats a win for North.

    inaccurate as always, we are primed for a finals upset.

    Along with the Eagles, North concede the most amount of points and inside 50s against yet we looked to be going uphill for 75% of the game

    Credit to North they made it hard for us but our greater quality told in the end

    Beast mode from Clarry. May was good and I liked Spargo’s contributions

    Big game next weekend. We’ll have to play better but we know we lift for the bigger games

    10-0 and 17 on the spin

    Go Dees

    Almost the best game of Oliver's career. He destroyed it against Adelaide in R10 2021 but we lost, so it takes a tick of the shine off, but today he was brilliant in everything he did, and also played just a fantastic team game.

    The next 5 weeks/4 games are so big.

    Reckon the Roos have shown the rest of the comp how to play us (although dirtily).
     

    Inflicting injuries is our Achilles heel, who would’ve thought 😞

    Dunstan is a terrible player and shouldn't be in the team, ever again.

    Max was being interviewed by moons & just had steam coming off him. Funny stuff.

    Would have been nice for Foxtel to show us walking off the ground.

    Did BBB get carried off?

    Fair play to North, they did all they could. Were aggressive and pressured hard. Good for us to have these tests rather than a training run

    They dragged us down to their level for the first 3 quarters, but we were magnificent in the last!  Seventeen on the trot!!

    Ugly first half but the cream rose to the top from half way through the third.

    There's a few boys not at their sparkling best and a couple of the ins although very handy & grateful for their input, are still a fair way off the level of JV & Harmesy.

    Hope Plugga's foot is ok.  Easily our best forward tonight.

    Clarry crazy good....again!

    • 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.
