So we have a great win and this is all some have to focus on…

Incidentally, one of our cheer squad members picked the guernsey up and handed it back to the fan. She said he was a stupid teenager and he looked “sheepish” when she returned it to him.  Which suggests he knew what he’d done was idiotic. Thing is, he did the same thing after the match too. Seems he is more stupid than sheepish.  😑 

edit: after Melksy dropped it on the ground, when Tracc walked past it he kicked it further under the fence. Funny, no one’s mentioning that.

Maybe a $1000 fine coming up for supporter equipment abuse?

The guy is extremely lucky it wasn't Maysie that grabbed it.

Watching Oliver it is clear he is still hampered by his broken thumb. His normally instantaneous clean ball takes were still absent and his handball skills were suppressed. May need another couple of weeks to fully recover. Costing him at least ten possessions a game. 

Most importantly, can he still win the Brownlow?🤔

Have always thought Sparrow was fantastic

my favourite little moment last night was in maybe the third quarter he got into a bit of a scrap and was holding two blokes by the jumper at arms length, one in each hand.

He’s only a little fella and when you meet him and chat to him he seems like he’s about 12, but gee he’s a tough kid and really cracks in. 
 

As for BT grouping him as a player ‘pressing for his spot’, how laughable. 

How long ago did you meet him?

He is built like a brick outhouse and over 6 foot. I couldn't believe the size of him when I walked past him locally last year.

That was a magnificent choke last night 

In front of all their fans and corporates. 
 

Even with all the commentators barracking for them

David King will have a completely different agenda on Monday…

What would Leigh Montagna know about winning a Flag anyway??

He was involved in 2 failed Premiership Campaigns

Has anyone in the media heard of Petty? Cant recall his name being mentioned. Its always trac olie brayshaw viney.

We're not the same side without him.

We also look tougher and meaner with Hibberd back .

Of course I consume it but a friend of mine used to work for Croc Media and knows Hutchison well - they literally design their views around reaction. Hutchison admitted to my mate that he will say something (or advise/cajole someone else to say something) that he doesn’t believe just so it hits your cerebral cortex and gets you annoyed or fired up.

I am not above getting riled up over what Twitters algorithm sends me but I am trying to not get inflamed as that is it’s intention…

Maybe the umps are coached the same way 😁

Was watching the replay of the last quarter this morning and they all had a lot of praise for him as being our best lockdown defender and the first picked each week.

HARRY PETTY AND THE HEARTBREAKERS
It’s not just the two-headed Dees defensive ‘monster’ (Steven May and Jake Lever) that makes Melbourne an uneasy match-up down back.
As we saw when it mattered last year, you have to include Harrison Petty as the third wheel.
The Dees’ defence restricted the Dockers to only FIVE goals - with four of them kicked by small forwards.
Big forwards Matt Taberner and Rory Lobb were kept goalless.
The credit must collectively go to Melbourne’s back six, and more specifically Petty, Lever and May.
They helped to break the spirit of the Dockers’ forwards as well as the hearts of Freo fans.
When the triple-headed defensive ‘monsters’ all play together, they are very hard to stop.
They have played nine games as a trio this season, with the Demons winning seven of them.

OK .good   i am overseas so  i look at all the tv panels and quarter highlights on line but thats it. I can watch full games as well but usually turn off the volume. Unbearable waffle.

Agree WE GOT INTO FREO’S HEAD 

Teams have beaten us if they play with dare and run. It seems easy to say but it’s often harder to do.  The Pies will bring the run.  Daicos and Crisp and Pendlebury won’t be scared.
 

Another point to note still. But we need to do more than defend.  60 inside “50s” and 12 goals. We need to get better ourselves in attack. Yes we have a gun defence.  A lack of a key forward will be a worry. No Franklin. No Hawkins/Cameron.  Not a Mihocek. FFS not even a Daniher.  We need a fit BBB at least. 

Totally agree. Just watching JVR at 5.0 again today.

I reckon we've got to give him a go for a week or two.

Petracca needs to get his confidence back in front of goal too.

That's hilarious. Such a bold prediction.

He must have splinters the size of cricket bats sitting on the fence like that.

For context Andy, given you were oat the game you would have missed him tipping freo right before the game on fox.

This season he has gone from the Dees being guaranteed to go undefeated to missing the Top 4 to still a chance to missing the Top 4 again to keeping the faith. If we lose next week his head might explode.

That and the fact he was tackled at every contest before taking possession of the footy

Wouldn't surprise me if he predicted the Dees to be relegated to the VFL if we can't defeat the filth...

Rather than a big 40+ point win next week. Do we run with a couple of point win, to prove that not only can the filfth be beaten, but they are not the masters of the close games?

  • 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?

  • POSTGAME: Hawthorn

    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.
