Oliver’s last three kicks to unmarked Brisbane players.

    Chandler, TMac, Brayshaw are not performing at the required level. I'd risk to say they are not in our best 23.

    So we finally win a clearance ...the ball is dumped out of the middle with seconds to go yet not one tall or medium forward is sitting in the hole at HF!!??????????????????????????????

    Trash. This entire game needs to get in the [censored] bin. 

    Maybe time to step away from the game and computer.

    Stop fumbling, stick tackles and outwork them…

    We won that quarter.

    Make no mistake. They are only in front because structurally we are missing our 2 most important players. Max’s injury really deflated the team, but they fought back that quarter. We are such a tough team.

    This next half is going to show how strong our character is. Everything that could’ve went wrong did.

    Forget about that first half & come out strong.

    I think everyone of Oliver's kicks have gone straight to a lions player.

    Harmes needs to loft but he's certainly not alone.

    Bbb trying and doing very well.

    Jv isn't fit. 

    Come on Tmac show some leadership.

    Why ask Viney about Max. Why not just stick a knife in his heart.i.

    I expect the skip to motivate the boys at HT. He doesn't want to dampen their fighting spirit.

    So many fumbles, no control at all, a couple of players a pass and that’s about it. Very lucky to be this close. 

    Boy, Viney was [censored] in that little interview.

    Our blokes are playing bruise free, jumping at shadows tonight

    Not having a tall HF sitting in the hole for the center bounce 666 is unforgivable

    We CAN win this. We have played like trash and are still within 20, and even won that quarter. If we come out with the right mentality, firing and give these bogans NOTHING.

    Not trying to make an excuse but I am just wondering how much the hard surface of the ground is not being handled well by us. A surface that they would not have trained on or played on. We seem to be missing / not picking up the bounce of the ball

    What a disgraceful comment. Footy involves 2 teams. Sometimes, believe it or not, you get beaten. Check yourself before you comment next time. 

    Agreed …Grundy has def had the better of Oscar …a lot of our players are flat …as I am seeing Gawn but let’s see how they come out after half time before some very average comments from so called Melb supporters

    That’s probably it actually.

    Melbourne not ruling out that it’s an ACL and Gawn’s reaction is a very very very bad sign.

    They are because our depth is a mirage but they aren’t good players.

    Chandler is meh.

    T Mc is just hot and cold and the ruck isn’t helping.

    Gus is Gus. Probably a decent mid or tagger. An ok winger. A fraud at a half back against good supply, just wants to drop off all day long

    Last week Brisbane led Port Adelaide by 12 points. They lost by 54 points in the end. Just an observation.

    I haven’t given up this game.

    Don't be coming in here with that sensible talk.

    It's half time and we're 20 points down. It's the absolute WORST. ðŸ˜œ

    • 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?

      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.
