Swans on top second half of this quarter

 

Swans are well on top

 

I just watched the last ten minutes of that quarter and the ball didn't go into our half.  It doesn't help when every kick out of defence seemed to find a Swans player.  They were all over us and should be in front.

Half Time: Casey Demons 4.8.32 to Sydney Swans 4.5.29

Goals Weideman 3 Grey

Disposals Rivers 16 Baker 13 Munro 12 Ellison Melksham 10

The ball hardly crossed into the Demons forward line in the second half of the quarter.

 

Ground speakers playing Skyhooks “Livin in the 70’s” as I sit here feeling as if it’s just that. Spooky!

so this game is going to finish over an hour before the main game.

So much for curtain raisers

what did the gap used to be?

i remember seeing a few vfl / afl reserves games back in the late 80s and early 90s and it was never anything quite like that sort of gap between the magoos and the seniors

Here's hoping tonight isn't a "Horror Movie" for Demon fans.

Indeed. Is so quiet now, I can hear Balwyn calling.

about 15 -20 minutes top.

In the 80's the seconds would clap the firsts onto the field and then head up the race.

Generally the last quarter was watched by very close to the match day crowd


Beautiful work from Ellison on the wing... loved the leap pack crunch from JVR.  Moniz all class waiting for the crumb for his 2nd....this kid!

Moniz HB to Dunstan to Melk and then White ....yipeee

George Grey snaps his second.

My bad!

For anyone watching - are Weeds marking and goals impressive or easy goals/free kicks?

 

 

Well Munro aint gonna be happy with that

he's working the f50 perfectly, just as he always does as the main option

he and sideshow bob essentially play the same role - it's no surprise that they struggle to gel as a key forward combination

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

  • PREGAME: Gold Coast

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
