Good win, though once again backline looked less secure without Petty there.

Speaking of which, losing him is huge, just have to cross fingers. But not ideal.

    Glad we won but Q1 and Q4 were embarrassing. 1g 6b in Q4: have the goal-kicking yips returned? And some foot passes in Q1 were awful. It was like we were trying to kick it to North Melbourne! Kicking coach: hellllpppp!

    Q4 was not embarrassing when you looked at the bench and saw who we weren’t playing.

    Ruck round?  really?

    is it small defender round next week?

     

    (this week's addition of Dub's Pet Peeves)

    I know, right?

    After “Small Defender Round”, it’s:

    - “Holding the Ball Round”

    - “Goal Sneak Round”

    - “Ode to Dropkick Round”, and of course

    - “Barrel/Torp From Beyond the Arc Round”.

    JJ and Harmes didn’t do their cause any favors.

     

    Not sure why JJ gets lumped in with HArmes? Everything Harmes touched turned to [censored].

    JJ had 24 disposals at 88 percent with two goal assists and six score involvements.

    JJ lifted significantly after a poor first quarter where he was not alone. He lacks speed which hurts him but he used it well. Harmes butchered everything he touched.

    Unless I am wrong Sparrow ran with D-U - thought he did a brilliant shut down job.

    A win is a win. While those around us are stumbling we are putting together a good period of footy.
     

    I think with that win it is now mathematically impossible not to play finals. Hopefully we can now get some loading in (Pies are definitely in a loading phase) and maintain our place in top 4. 

    Congrats Dees!

    Yeah I thought he finished well. Just looked more sure of himself and better with the decision making.

    He seems to start games stuck in his head lately, over thinking things.

    Fair to say we’ve done our service for football by playing in Hobart 5 times since 2016, 6 if you count the fact that we were also scheduled there in COVID 2020. A little more than Collingwood and Essendon who have travelled there about zero times in that period.

    One of our schedule requests should be to not play at [censored] grounds - Tas, Geelong, Ballarat, Cairns [censored] them all off

    Did he also do a job on Lachie Neale?

    Harmes was poor with the ball no doubt.  But he did chase and tackle and put his head over the ball

    I suspect this might be Good's thinking in playing him.  A senior body to play midfield minutes before Clarry come back

    Embarrassing 4th quarter a bit strong? Night and day between that and the first.

    Yep. JJ and Sparrow were v good (after first quarter) as usual. Harmesy ran around a lot with some horrible decision making and beyond awful disposal. He’s in a category all his own at the moment. 
     

    in the end, a decent correction after quarter time, but that first quarter was indescribably bad.

    First quarter was an absolute disgrace. A combination of arrogance, laziness, disorganisation and Clarkson’s sugar hit.

    No issues with the last quarter. Goodwin put the cue in the rack at 3 qtr time by giving Gawn, Viney and Trac major bench minutes.

    Gawn, Viney and Tracc not among our sharpshooters. IMO their absence does not explain our inaccuracy in Q4.

    My other takeaways from the couch - appallingly slippery surface - everyone slipping over on both sides, and secondly the adjudicating clowns giving no credit to both sides for fantastic football actions like “tackling” or “push in the back”. But my word they were good for the one “not 15” they called. Clowns.

    Somewhat Pyrrhic victory with Petty going down.

    Hope he's ok 

    Bad start but good we didn't fold like Pies did 

    Gus was very good.

    Last week it was our talls, this time our smalls kicked them.

    I think our goalkicking in the last could qualify as embarrassing, JadedNM.

    I am/was a big Harmes fan but.... Dunstan seems plausible right now.

    I thought Harmes was pretty good, and our midfield limited LDU who has been on fire recently.

    ANB and Hunter were very good.

    JJ was decent today and you have to give him credit, I think many people just think like I do where I don't think he is best 22 at the end of the day and people project that onto him no matter what happens, similar to the hate Hunter often gets.

    • PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Way back in March we contemplated the possibility of a Demon resurgence after Simon Goodwin’s summer of love. Many issues at the club had seemingly been addressed, key players were returning from injury and a brand new day was about to dawn. We imagined the coach pulling a rabbit out of a hat. The team would roar up the charts, push aside every opponent and make its way to a Grand Final ending in ultimate triumph with Goody and Max holding the premiership cup aloft under a shower of red and blue ticker tape.

    • AFLW REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

      The final game of the 2025 Season is finally upon us and the Demons may have an opportunity to spoil the Magpies Top 4 aspirations when they face them on Friday Night. Who comes in and who goes out?
