Van Rooyen isn't the answer for a backup ruckman 

Been real good as a ruckman. Not sure what you are watching

    Outside the first 10 mins, Lions dominating. 

    We are playing a different style and our poorer skills and decision making is laid bare. 
     

    Need to get the lead and lock the game down. 

     

    They look too polished unless we lift

    Don’t usually post in the game day thread but that 2nd qtr effort was disgusting. Brisbane are hardly the toughest & they smashed us around the footy. We looked soft.

    Without Petracca it feels like we’d a bottom 8 team.

    Agreed. Giving us good use with his second efforts. He’s really not bad.

    Spargo deserves an absolute roast!

    Gave Brisbane all the momentum after that stupid turnover when he decided to kick across the field near CHF and caused the turnover.

    I'd dead set Sub him out for that.

    100% our biggest weakness tonight.

    He has never hit form at any stage since the concussion.  Coming back to bite the selectors on the bum.

    A pitty Clazz aint ready.  Straight swap

    Yep nailed it. I'm all for fast ball movement but needs to be in the right players hands.

    Trying to play a bit too quick and risky. Been good to watch but lions on top now

    As soon as the pace and pressure picked up, we've panicked and our forward 50s are ooozing pus again

    Unfortunately May is getting taught a lesson by Daniher. 

    He really got going that quarter.

    Their half backs are just clearing it way too easily. 

    Doesn't help when Spargo, Anb, Melksham and Pickett offer zero defensive pressure.

    Glad to see the negative trolls are back after losing that quarter.

    A very disappointing quarter, but they are a top 4 team for a reason. They move it better than us. They have much better forwards than we do, so they can actually kick it forward with some purpose. They were all over us and make us pay for every turnover, while rarely turning it over themselves. 

     

    We have to get back to winning the contested game. We can’t win it in a shoot out.

    Don't worry guys, our loading program will see us blow them out of the park in the second half. That will be the reason we win. 

    @binmanand @A F guarantee it. 

    But if it doesn't occur, you can't blame loading okay? 

    It'll be other reasons. 

     

    Are you at the game this week Steve, or still in Europe complaining that Melbourne supporters don't turn up to games, and in the same breath lauding how important Collingwood's crowd is to their arousal levels?

    We need Smith's height and mobility at half fwd

    Should be straight in for Spargo from now.

    Let's hope we don't wait till the last 15 min

    He was supposed to be a fwd though. Not like we don't have a better ruck option in Grundy.

    Can't defend quick ball movement!!!

    Any chance we can get a coach to tell these guys to lower eyes and hit a leading target going forward !!!

    Bomb in everytime to Brisbane advantage

    You’d think we are playing a division 3 team, not a premiership contender.

    • 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.
