    First time defending the crown on our home deck in a final and it was a big let down.

    Ouch.

    (Maybe) Out - Melks. Argument for Brown. In - TMac.

    (Probably Should) Out - Salem. In - Bowey.

    Again, ouch.

    I feel sorry for the Victorian fans who had to wait 12 months to experience that rubbish

    Outcoached, outsmarted and outplayed.

     

    Down 20 half way through the last qtr, Melksham misses an easy set shot, Trac misses a runner and ANB and Spargo blow and open goal. Just couldn’t get back in it. Disappointing overall result but there is still hope.

    Beaten without much of whimper on our home deck, not impossible to defend it from here but our weakness just showed themselves again tonight.

    We need an actual 2nd Ruckman. Sending Gawn forward and leaving Jackson as no 1. for long spells was a disaster + Brown forward rucking? what a joke that was.

    We need a more agile key forward to replace Brown, if he can't play a full season then is that pedestrian in a qualifying final after a mini preseason mid season then we got problems.

    Finally we need to move Spargo back as a small forward. The ease the ball exits our forward 50 is no surprise when it's Brown, Gawn and Melksham chasing + Spargo is not suited to a wing.

    We need to be at our best to beat Swans and Geelong

    Far short of that tonight. Too many players with bad nights and worryingly a few injury concerns too.

    But we need to move on quickly and prepare for Brisbane

    Melksham had the opportunity to kick 3 really crucial goals. Really really hurt that he didn't kick any.

    But, others also missed opportunities. Suspect however that costs his spot.

    They brought their pressure, we brought ours.  Theirs was better tonight.

    ANB was horrible, Melksham would have lost his spot, LJ was shocking.

    Well played Sydney! They were great and deserved the win in the end. Just couldn't get our game going largely due to Sydney. Disappointed...

    I thought that was our worst game of the year.

    Sydney kicked 12 goals from turnovers. 

    Teams our beating us playing our own style.

    Not the end of the world but I really do feel like we have an MCG problem. We just don’t play well there.

    You have to acknowledge Sydney pressure and desperation and positioning around packs was huge.

    But 3 goals from 50's in a final and missing sitters and stuffing up a certain goal, I can say 3 are directly linked to Melk's.

    We didn't play with any run or speed across the ground, whether that was deliberate or Sydney structure I couldn't tell on tv.  

    Many players had their worst game of the year.  Trac after his knock didn't look right and we fumbled too often

    We have 1 week to regroup but luckily got lions at the G ready to face Pies/Cats in the prelim.

    We're taking the long road this year, but there's no travel.

    Comprehensively beaten.

    We should beat the Lions, but I can almost see it playing it out that we exit the finals without a whimper. They'll be looking for revenge and will probably, you'd think, try something different against us. Learn from mistakes etc.

    Even if we get past them, we haven't beaten a top 4 team this year, can't see how we get up. We need to plan for 2023.

    Boring zero risk for zero reward footy for most of the night. If Brisbane are our biatches we are well and truly Sydney's

    • PREGAME: Sydney

      Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?

      The Demons pulled off an absolute miracle at the Gabba coming from 24 points down in the 2nd Quarter to overrun the reigning premiers the Brisbane Lions winning by 11 points and keeping their season well and truly alive.

    • GAMEDAY: Brisbane

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are back on the road with a massive challenge ahead — facing the reigning premiers, the Brisbane Lions, at their Gabba fortress. The Lions are licking their wounds after a shock draw in Tasmania last week, while Melbourne’s season hangs in the balance. Can the Dees defy the odds and pull off a miracle to keep their razor thin finals hopes alive?

    • 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?
