Harmes gave them momentum. 

Seriously dumb footballer. He literally had to kick it in front of Melksham and completely missed him by 20m.

By 20 m more like 50 he just lacks composure in critical times.

    It would be better towards the opposition though.

    Evidence as to why Harmes is my least favourite player. 

     

    Has too man brain fades sadly. Can be costly

    Still worth his place though, hopefully he picks up form again

    Harmes is having a stinker so send him to run with smith now I reckon. 
     

    i reckon the dogs are playing really well tonight so if we beat them it should be seen as a good sign of a return to form.

    C'mon Demons big 2nd half

    Weid was good in the 1st but went missing in the 2nd. Needs a big 2nd half

    It's a tough call bw who is Better....Lever or Petty.

     

    Petty is better one on one. Lever is better at reading the play. Both are elite defenders. 
    Petty will be an AA defender soon.

    Lots of positives, but Salem still a concern.

    Great to Sparrow having a decent game, he was pretty ropey last week.

    I agree.  Salem has completely lost confidence. Three weeks in a row.

    This game will come down to fitness. If we get it out to 30pts I’d expect it to be shutdown, but that is unlikely. 
     

    Dogs will come out revved up.
     

     

    As we chalked up at 27 point lead we were on our way to winning another clearance out the middle and a tiny bit of Hollywood crept in as Trac handballed to a marked Clarry and then somehow the Dogs got a quick goal. Another instance Gus takes a brilliant saving mark and scuffs his short pass. And then we get the howler of a Harmes kick. I felt the Dogs got back those last two because of our errors.

    It's a shoot out, we don't want one but that's what it is. We're doing OK but the Dogs have shown they can score and score quickly, we have some work to do to get this done and we have got to find another way to score other than centre clearance and we need more sustained periods on top.Must tighten up through the corridor in transition defending, their quick chaining through the middle is getting some results.

    Hopefully we start the 3rd with a sustained period locking the ball in our 50 then score a cheeky goal.

    it been a pretty good game so far, we have played some good football, but been a bit lax at time. I think we need to do more about when the opposition kicks in. we do not put pressure on the player kicking in we let them run and bounce the ball and gain another 40 meters. by that time they are kicking over our players heads. I wonder if harmes was trying to kick the goal rather than pass it. we are doing pretty well, time to come out and do what we do in the second half kick away, add some percentage so that we can take back top spot

    Need a big third quarter. Come on guys grannie repeat. 

    I think we play better at Marvel than the MCG. Salem looks like he’s struggling with what is role is at the moment.

    i do wish sparrow and Jordan would move the ball on quickly after taking a mark. they seem to ignore short passes that look a certaintly and go down the line to a contest.we play some of our best footy when we move the ball fast.

    We are seeing a different game tonight. Faster ball movement  creates scoring opportunities but we are being exposed a lot on the turnover. 

    .. as are the Bulldogs

    Let's see a 3rd qrt replay please.

    Seriously what has Harmes done tonight?

    Weid not sighted that quarter. 

    But it was a good quarter. Just can't let the dogs back in it.

    So it's only 1/2 time and we have already outscored last nights pathetic score. 

    Gee doesn't Fritta love playing against the dogs.

    No surprise Dogs leading the free kicks. Both quarters we let them in for late goals.

    Have we ever played them when they don’t get at least double our frees?

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

    • POSTGAME: Western Bulldogs

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
