Everyone complaining about Kayo. Pay a bit extra a month for Foxtel. Better value and a better overall football experience.

Anyway, Essendon got 4 goals either directly from free kicks or from free kicks up the ground. Most probably there but debateable given they weren't called both ways.

They are targeting our backline because of no Lever, pretty obvious.

Their strings of possesion were very concerning. Especially given they aren't a very fast team.

Draper tearing us up is giving me an aneurysm. If Stringer gets involved next, I'll vomit.

    We have a few worries but are only a only eight points down. The resting ruckman for Essendon is causing problems isolating Tomlinson.

    When van Roo rucks we're getting thrashed in the middle.

    Petty's form and now injury is a big concern.

    TMac looks off.

    McVee probably needs to use the first option.

    Brayshaw doing very well.

    Clarry only two possessions at quarter time. Unprecedented!

     

    We look lazy and entitled at times.

    They are getting a lot of momentum from free kicks (most of them are deserved but hard to maintain that over 4 quarters)

    Our stars and match winners need to lift.

    Good news is that they can’t play much better and we have much we can improve on. Not losing to those cheats in Adelaide. 

    Exactly, they can't keep scoring from centre clearance surely 


     

    Shocking choice there Chandler.

     

    Great grab and goal Melks!

    Nicely done Jakey boy! 

    Say what you want he's definitely good for a big play.

    It’s a lot more money. Money we can’t afford. I can barley justify $30 for Kayo.

    Melksham kicking a bag against the Bombers would make a win that bit more special.

    Him and Trac need to really lift. Not good enough. 

    Wasn't sure about Melksham but boy was I wrong.

    I had Kayo for a month and then got rid of it. Pathetic service

    Oliver having a mare. What is happening?

    Petty stinking it up too. Not good enough. 

    Grundy not on the line, he really runs his own race

    Setterfield did a number on him at Carlton last year too I think.

    • 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.

      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?
