    Umpires need a crowd baying for blood to pay a HTB apparently.

    8 metre kick paid a mark. To them of course.

    That's being generous! I thought it was about 40cm. What a joke.

    We are so unclean by hand and foot. 

    As we've seen many times opposition looks better but don't get away. Will turn I reckon we've done it often

    The crowd is too small for Petracca which is why he only has his 9 touches to half time.


    They’re playing better footy. Positive is we’re still very close due to their inaccuracy. Need to be tighter with ground balls and tidy up the kick before the entry into 50. Can’t bang it long due to their spare behind the ball.

    Inside 50 efficiency - them = 51.9%, us = 25.9%.

    We need a proper forwards coach, instead of Stafford doubling up his duties.

    Well, we're not playing well and certainly have a lot of improvement left in us for the second half. In that context we're doing well to be within 4 points.

    I don’t understand the holding the ball rule. Hawkins took on 2 players and got caught red handed.

    Its the one rule the AFL need to fix as there’s far too much interpretation based on context and player involved.

    Outplayed, insufficient first options, turnovers. Remarkable that we’re so close on the scoreboard.

    • 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?

    • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

      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?
