Gawn - a huge loss

Viney - obviously played underdone 

Brayshaw - disposals were amateurish 

Petty - tried but failed

Oliver - many irrelevant possessions 

Petracca - involved too late 

Rivers - loose but tried

Bowey - not the worst

Lever - played with passion

Harmes - not to standard

Langdon - had little input 

Neal-Bullen - was rarely noticed 

McDonald -  had no influence 

Fritsch - was obviously underdone 

Spargo - was easily outpointed 

Grundy - tried but ineffective 

Hunter - had little influence 

Sparrow - a nothing game

Chandler - took his chances

McVee - regularly looked lost 

Melksham - probably on field

Brown - our only forward

I’m starting to worry Sparrow doesn’t have another level

Hard on Bowser, Rivers and Chandler.

Agreed. Rivers played well

I think this was was established last year.

I’d been trying to ignore it but can’t anymore

I thought Grundy was great not his fault the midfield was terrible.

Certainly worked his way into the game as the solo ruck and credit to him. Needs to build some synergy with Trac and Clarry if we’re to win the centre clearances going forward.

He’s going to earn his money this year if Gawn’s out for weeks, but he’d love having the number 1 mantle to himself.

Tomlinson - was pleasingly solid


Petty: has lost confidence 

what's going on,   two weeks in a row and i mostly agree, 

was not looking to read this thread   but it is compelling

Shrewd recruiting by us. Imagine how we'd be without Grundy now that Max is out 


@joeboy  Hunter - had little influence 

I have to disagree. Hunter played very well in my opinion. I was at the game.  He was creative and smart with very few errors. Probably one of our best 3-4 players. 22 possessions.  15 kicks. 480 metres gained. Kicked a good goal.  Hit targets.  He was prominent and had influence.

    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.

    It’s game day and the Demons are chasing a fourth straight win as we take on the high flying Hawks at the G. After decades of being tormented by the Hawks the Dees will be keen to extend their 7 year dominance over Hawthorn.

  • NON-MFC: Round 09

    Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?
