Great half by the dees

Should be miles ahead but if we can outscore them by 12 points next quarter we should enjoy the last

    Insane efficient from Pies has kept them in this. Logic says this isn’t sustainable for them, but [censored] their entire winning streak is an anomaly and shouldn’t be sustainable.

    Pies some lucky goals

    demons should be 5-6 goals in front

    They have gotten each arsey goal and 2 gifts from the umps. We just need to keep up the pressure in the 2nd half and we got this.

    Those loose ball goals are a concern. 

    That said, pressure through the middle is there.

    Hibberd getting exposed big time down back. Costing us goals way too easily.

    We should be at least 4-5 goals up.

    22-7 inside 50s that quarter yet only lead by 17. 

    It would be nice if in the 3rd quarter we came out and dominated on the board

    Half time and we're no closer to really knowing anything. We're in for a fight, make no mistake about that. Missed some good chances at the end there while Collingfilth just keep nailing every time they go in 50. I don't know, maybe this is just going to be like the Dogs game, we'll have to prove we can win a shoot out because the Pies will continue to get their looks at goal.

    I'm sorry, it was a decent quarter but we really should be 5 goals up. Leave this team in a game at your peril. Season is on the line here.

    Holding the ball has two interpretations. They have to revert to the mean with accuracy

    So similar to the doggies game.

    We just need to tighten things up a little and not given them the easy rebound goal.

    They've been lucky with frees i50 and had some arsey goals. No way that continues with their low i50s.

    I reckon we'll consolidate in Q3.

    We are so much better than them in every aspect of play but they are kicking them out of their %$&es. Petty, Spargo and Hibberd playing as bad as possible. But our defensive transition is being exposed time and time again. But boy our best footy is outstanding. Great game of footy.

    We gave them 3 free kicks at goal. We also let them get free into their running game a bit too easily   Tighten up don’t give them free kicks at goal. We will win.   Premiership Quarter  coming up   Go dees

    Not sure how this is looking on TV but the Pies are extraordinarily lucky in conversion. We have been very wasteful in front of goal. Should have put this game to bed already. 

    Forward pressure is way off tonight and Kozzy, Spargs and ANB do not look involved at all. Pies are playing fast break footy. Surprised that they are still full of zip.

    A couple of goals kicked on him where of the opponent the either lever, may or Petty where on before they went to the bench. Our 3 bigs are coming off too much


    Defend the corridor and they’re less likely to get one out the back.

    We’re winning clearance, contested ball and inside 50s. High scoring game is not in our favour but I’d have taken this lead from the start.

    We need to take our chances in front of goal or it will come back to bite us on the arze. 

    Collywobbles are disgustingly efficient in front of goal. It makes me want to 🤮

    We are killing them, should be 6 or 7 goals up. We have wasted too many inside 50 and they get too many lucky goals. We've got this if we keep playing like this.

    I'm going off a bit in the stands tonight and thought maybe I was out ferraling the Collingwood supporters, but then a group of apprentice/teenaged Magpies went past screeching some rubbish and I'm starting to realise I'm not even in the same ball park.

    • NON-MFC: Round 10

      The Sir Doug Nicholls Round kicks off in Darwin with a Top 4 clash between the Suns and the Hawks. On Friday night the Swans will be seeking to rebound from a challenging start to the season, while the Blues have the Top 8 in their sights after their sluggish start. Saturdays matches kick off with a blockbuster between the Collingwood and Kuwarna with the Magpies looking to maintain their strong form and the Crows aiming to make a statement on the road. The Power face a difficult task to revive their season against a resilient Cats side looking to make amends for their narrow loss last week. The Giants aim to reinforce their top-eight status, while the Dockers will be looking to break the travel hoodoo. The sole Saturday game is a critical matchup for both teams, as the Bulldogs strive to cemet their spot in the top six and the Bombers desperately want break into the 8. Sundays start with a bottom 3 clash between the Tigers and Kangaroos with both teams wanting to avoid the being in wooden spoon contention. The Round concludes with the Eagles still searching for their first win of the season, while the Saints look to keep their finals hopes alive with a crucial away victory. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • PREVIEW: Brisbane

      And just like that, we’re Narrm again. Even though the annual AFL Sir Doug Nicholls Round which commemorates the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander culture to our game has been a welcome addition to our calendar for ten years, more lately it has been a portent of tough times ahead for we beleaguered Narrm supporters. Ever since the club broke through for its historic 2021 premiership, this has become a troubling time of the year for the club. For example, it all began when Melbourne rebranded itself as Narrm across the two rounds of the Sir Doug Nicholls Round to become the first club to adopt an Indigenous club name especially for the occasion. It won its first outing under the brand against lowly North Melbourne to go to 10 wins and no losses but not without a struggle or a major injury to  star winger Ed Langdon who broke his ribs and missed several weeks. In the following week, still as Narrm, the team’s 17 game winning streak came to an end at the hands of the Dockers. That came along with more injuries, a plague that remained with them for the remainder of the season until, beset by injuries, the Dees were eliminated from the finals in straight sets. It was even worse last year, when Narrm inexplicably lowered its colours in Perth to the Waalit Marawar Eagles. Oh, the shame of it all! At least this year, if there is a corner to turn around, it has to be in the direction of something better. To that end, I produced a special pre-game chant in the local Narrm language - “nam mi:wi winnamun katjil prolin ambi ngamar thamelin amb” which roughly translated is “every heart beats true for the red and the blue.” >y belief is that if all of the Narrm faithful recite it long enough, then it might prove to be the only way to beat the Brisbane Lions at the Gabba on Sunday. The Lions are coming off a disappointing draw at Marvel Stadium against a North Melbourne team that lacks the ability and know how to win games (except when playing Melbourne). Brisbane are, however, a different kettle of fish at home and have very few positional weaknesses. They are a midfield powerhouse, strong in defence and have plenty of forward options, particularly their small and medium sized players, to kick a winning score this week after the sting of last week’s below par performance.

    • 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?
