I don’t mean to be disrespectful, but that jumper looked like they were in Peter Alexander pj’s with the long sleeves.

    I only care that Langdon is ok 

    This game was another 4 points we bank and move on from.

    No team should ever win a game of AFL by a 100 points. Only happens if a team throws in the towel. North did not do that this evening. A 50 point win in the circumstances is a fair reflection of our superiority

    The real test for us is Freo next week. I'm sure our performance level will lift and we'll win that game.

    So, when did the rule change?  Back in the day, if a player was tackled and failed to correctly dispose of the ball (kick or handball), he was penalised.  Lost count of the times tonight where that went unrewarded.  (Yeah.  I know.  What's new?)

    Yep and I bet North player won’t get suspended.

    Some of you just don’t know how long a footy season is to play. The fact that we won so convincingly when they obviously steeled themselves for this, is testament to the great group we have.

    Also, we are in better form than last year. That doesn’t mean anything for the end of the year but we are in another great spot.

    A shout out to the arrogant North fan next to me who, when North got 2 points up said “we have a young list… it’s all downhill for you now” 

    Enjoy that shiny spoon

    yes he lifted him off the ground and slammed him in to the turf

    .

    Great tackle but if compared he should be rubbed out in my opinion

    I actually rate it as a really good win. North were very, very good - tough at the ball, brutally physical (a bit too much at times) and ripped through us with a short passing game they could not sustain. We stood up, although we were horribly unclean for the first half.

    Clarry - superstar

    Well done Tmac, Spargo, May, Sparrow in the 2nd half, Lever in patches.

    Lots of handball practice this week at training please.

    Jeez mate, the facepalm brigade will be all over you.

    I think it is not a patch one last years epic effort but my missus just asked me to buy one for her so I guess its 50/50 in my household.

    That ground is a nightmare for the players like a skating rink…injuries seem to happen a lot more often there too glad we aren’t running out on it too often.

    They were really sour today all day. I was a bit surprised at how often they whinged and had tantrums about obvious free kicks.

    They seemed very unlikeable - and I’d know.

    So you’re saying your wife has questionable taste?

    Was worried when Clarry took out a clump of turf on the wing & looked to have injured himself. Fortunately not the case.

    I like it and so did my 9yo. Different people have different opinions. We live in Australia and different opinions are allowed as far as I’m aware

    She loved it at first sight. Although for a relatively recent arrival to the country (she does her citizenship ceremony on Tuesday) she really has developed a mental disorder when cheering for the Dees. I swear she would physically harm anyone in our house who spoke negatively against the Dees on game day.

    .......aaaand so I will do the right thing just as soon as it is listed in her size on the Demon shop. Cos, you know, i don't want to die just yet.

     

    oh, and my own mother has been telling her she has questionable taste since day 1.

    A few supporters are hard to please. 
    Early 80s at the G you would only go to watch Robbie! 1st year of Roos and pre Roos there were some horrible losses and we didn’t win to often.

    We have a great team, who play fantastic team football, with some generational players, who have delivered a flag and taken us to 10-0!

    So for crying out loud…….Enjoy Every Win!

    Keep going Demons!!!!

    Pros:

    - We got the 4pts (and makes it 10-0 to start the year, one better than last season)

    - TMac continues to hit the scoreboard 

    - Fritta got 3

    - Oliver continued his bloody good year

    Cons:

    - seems likely a costly day medically speaking; Lingers, TMac, Gus, even Trac at one point all looked very sore/injured

    - our goal kicking failed to put a team away earlier again

    - our inside 50 efficiency continues to be sub-par

    I’ll also put a question to Demonland: are we playing arrogant and will it come back to bite us? 

    I just feel watching us the last couple of weeks we almost don’t care against lesser opposition. They seem to go hard for a period and then leave it at that, the hunger hasn’t there recently. 

    Next week is a massive game, we play like we’ve been playing the last two weeks and we will fall to Freo. 

    Happy to bank the 4 points and move on, but I hope there boys will be switching on through the week. Oh, and how Brown managed to miss that soda in his 150th is beyond me. One of his worst games for the club, shame it had to come against his old side. 

    EDIT one other thought: Luke Jackson hasn’t been on for a while. Not suggesting he get dropped but any thoughts on why this could be?

    • 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.
