Need to fire up or it’s done. They’ve belted us in clearances and contested marking. If we can’t get our handles all the ball at the source then it’s game over. Credit to Freo for smashing us at the contest. They’re a quality team.

 

Midfield needs to stand up, they got destroyed in that quarter, someone need to put a rocket under Petracca

Unless brown or weiderman come good

Tell me you're not watching the game without telling me you're not watching the game...

Just remember Freo beat Geelong a few weeks ago. They aren't a bad team.

In some good news at least Taberner is subbed out injured

 

Even though we got well and truly smoked in that quarter, some of our misses are now coming back to haunt us. Fritters snap miss when we were on a roll, Weid's post, Trac's snap miss, they'd have us about par right now. I have confidence in us running over the Dockers, generally speaking, but aside from a burst in the second quarter, I'm not sure where it's coming to come from today, we look really flat, and it really does feel like it's going to be the loss that we need to have. I think we've been coasting for a long time and many of the guys really need a jolt. Maybe the loss will do that. A reminder that we are good, but need to be on our toes always, anyone can beat anyone on any given day.

I think we can win this. But we need to come out breathing fire.

    Freo excellent and not sure if we can win it but we'll re-group and be better in the last. We're a champion team so we won;t give up without a fight. I'm sure of that

    Come on dees

     

    Nibbler should have had the shot himslef. bad decision

    Jackson's currency dropped big time after that display. Weid on the backline is a terrible move.

    Big time. Hasn't played great for awhile


    For all the TMac haters out there, things could have been very different after May's injury if he had been playing instead of Weideman.

    Petty out of form. Tomlinson could be in line for a recall

    Just about the whole team aside from Oliver has been for a few weeks

    Interesting to see, have to attack the game now instead of trying to manage it.

    That’s the problem, our system doesn’t really allow for that.

    Bang, bang, bang would be handy about now

    • 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.
