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.

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
