We didn’t capitalise but it’s pretty clear we should win this. Just need to come out composed and take our chances. 

Would love a win at kardinia to kick off the end of the week!!

 Let’s go Dees

 

Geelong flogging us in the tackle count.. most of their tackles don’t count however as they are off the ball.

    Hawkins super surprised the umpires don't listen to his demand for a free on the siren. Don't those fans/umpires listen anymore! Write a letter to Gil, Tom. He'll overturn it

    Brayshaw needs to work at the meat department. He’s a butcher.

    Maybe during the week focus on your kicking skills instead of playing golf!

    Hate potting my own players and his 2 finished have been important but kozzi had played one of the softest games i can remember

    Langdon has been similar.

    Geelong players allowed to take on tackles. Ball up. 

    So many fend offs that we've wrapped up in tackles

    It's 70 to 51 Melbourne's way

     

    Viney is carrying our midfield this past few weeks. Such a workhorse and getting back to his damaging best.

    Gawny is really struggling. The balance with him and Grundy just isn’t working and it’s effected Gawns form badly now. Need to rethink how we use him and have a word to the umpires about how often he’s blocked or belted off the ball!

    Why’s that not fifty against Hawkins? 
    torp from the middle no one on the line defending the dribble……..

    I was hoping for a 50, then because Hawkins would still be arguing we’d get a second 50 and a shot on goal

    Hunter’s over the head no look handball to Brayshaw towards the end of that quarter was the greatest thing I’ve ever seen.

    I cannot remember a worse team that the current Melbourne team, for giving up goals/opportunities for goals in the last minute of a quarter. I turned to my wife and said, "watch this, mindless turnover coming up followed by shot on goal..."

    If we could kick, no-one would get anywhere near us. I know it is wet, but our kicking remains our biggest issue.


    Can’t believe they’ve taken a running player off to sub Spargo in when it appears that Petty is a mile off.

    Brayshaw is no 1 turnover merchant atm

    As a percentage of disposals i would like to wager Lingers is worse.

    Gus yes but not as a ratio.  Gets alot more of it.

    That last kick was a horror though.

    Umpiring is embarrassing.

    So Chandler gets taken high but continues to play on as no call.  Then as he's attempting to kick the goal the ump calls the free but then says he's taking advantage.

    Geelong tossing it around like a rugby ball.... never called.  Viney attempts an overhead HB and according to the commentators he "may have got a fist to it" .... pinged straight away.

    But to add insult to injury just prior to that the Geelong defender grabs the contested ball 20m out from our goal throws out a don’t argue but gets tackled to the ground holding the ball. Definite free kick but nup not from these Nuppties! 

    We either run away with this or Scott pulls something out of his [censored] and we lose.


    Time to put these pussycats away!

    We should run them off their feet now. We are coming off a 10 day “bye” and them off a 6 day break from Adelaide.

    Gus Brayshaw. 

    We had 30 second and he had the ball with zero pressure. On the wing. All it needed was a kick to the advantage to a forward (at the very least). What does he do? 

    Kicks the ball out on the full. 

    It is genuinely astonishing how often we do that sort of thing. And from him in particular.

    Its just so lazy.

    • 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.
