Our kicks just always seem to fall short.

We have been sloppy but will tighten up.

    West Coast's mids are playing shoulder to shoulder with ours in the ball ups. I'd like to see Grundy tap it outside that 3-5 metre zone and have our mids run onto it.

    Remember when the Pies beat the Cats in rd 1 and many on here said they can’t play like that every week….

     

    May needs to be banned from kicking in until he takes better options. They have to spread the talls and kick to the one Barrass isn’t on. It’s not rocket science 


    People seem to be disappointed based on some silly idea we should win by 100. We will win by 10 goals at minimum. That’s plenty. Who cares. We did this against sides in 2021. We even lost to Adelaide then. We were a good side then. This whole good sides do this and that speak is nonsense based on fantasies and wishful thinking. But hey, we still might win by 100. The eagles will fade.

    My best players include Yeo and Barrass. Worried now about Petty. Been on Petty watch for 2 weeks now. Hope its nothing

    Our inconsistency is frustrating. We turn it up against the swans, and now struggling against the WAFL eagles. It’s momentum killing stuff, even if we eek out a win. Hope we wake up and realise we have to earn a win. 


    No key forwards can do anything about kicks to their opponents. That Fritsch kick that missed Petty a  classic example 


    It’s like we are waiting for it to click instead of out working them. This game is still a danger right now.

    • 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.
