Melbourne 4. 9. 33

Fockers 10. 5. 65

Well, we started the game really well with Davey slotting one through from 50 in the first 20 seconds of the match... But every goal we kicked was answered quickly by the travelling Fockers.... Byron kicked our second and Dunny our 3rd....

But this only sparked the Fockers into action.... They continued to kick the next 8 goals of the match and it was only a late goal (and an absolute ripper) from Yze that stopped the run....

We have injury problems again! Whelan first went down with what looks like an ankle injury, but also talk of a hamstring strain on top of that... Daniel Bell copped a huge knee to the back of the head not long after this and was out like a light! He has since got his bearings back, but concussion and a massive headache will see him most likely take no further part.... On top of this we have lost Nathan Jones with what was described as "an ankle the size of a grapefruit" :(

We are trying hard to stay in the game, but they have too many quality players and with only 1 bloke on the bench we could be staring down the barrel of a massive loss....

Adem Yze has had a ripper half of footy... 17 posessions, 6 marks and sweet goal...

Davey good with 13 posessions and slowly getting back to some sort of form...

Miller presenting nicely and James McDonald doing what he does best....

But the likes of Pavlich, Tarrant, Headland, Haselby, McManus and Sandilands will mean that this game will only get harder to control....

    We have not given up and have tried our guts out.... But with no cattle on the pine it will always be tough...

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • POSTGAME: Fremantle

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.

    • GAMEDAY: Fremantle

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons return to the MCG wounded, undermanned and desperate. Still searching for their first win of the season, Melbourne faces a daunting task against the Fremantle Dockers. With key pillars missing at both ends of the ground, the Dees must find a way to rise above the adversity and ignite their season before it slips way beyond reach. Will today be the spark that turns it all around, or are we staring down the barrel of a 0–6 start?
