    Zero imagination again from Goodwin. Expect same same result. 

    Which AFL team did you coach to a premiership again?

    Might stick an episode of aircrash investigators on instead of the game, something a bit more relaxing

    Petty is a blow. Hope the final bench is jordon, rivers, weideman and dunstan with hunt as sub.

    Second time for Petty and the Vid?

    Hunt deserves back in, hopefully he makes the cut tomorrow night.

    I think Jordon needs a rest he was poor last week.

    Very Surprised that Melksham and Chandler were included! Also surprised Bedford and Spargo hold their places hopefully HUNT gets a gig??

    Weideman this surely would be "Last Chance Hotel" would much have preferred Mitch Brown! A few on shaky ground!

    Mitch Brown is not a KPD, he isn't physical enough and goes missing. Feel sorry for Laurie.

    Time for big games from Sparrow and Jordon

    Sparrow maybe but Jordon has been one of our most consistent, racking up 20+ possessions on the wing which is elite.

    Port stronger and us much weaker with the changes.

    Will need a big effort.

    Covid going to cause a lot of havoc over the next couple of months. Hope our players are smart about socialising from here on out. Might cost us top 4 or themselves a spot in the team around finals time.

    what did you expect him to do exactly? Clarry injured, Petty out with covid and Bowey has been struggling for a while so needed the break. Personally i would have brought in JVR but perhaps a game in NT against a resurgent Port is not the best time to give him his debut.

    • 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.
