death, taxes, and dees' turnovers giving away easy goals

Jefferson the saviour? I doubt it.

Saviour? I just want to see him (and the other players listed) take the field after having an interrupted pre-season.

 

AND MORE OF THE SAME BOMBING INTO THE FORWARD LINE FFS !!🤮

Do I think they’ll play with as little pressure as they are today come Opening Round? No

Are there still concerning signs about our disposal and decision making (which have been an issue for years now)? Yes

A bit of a pattern. I suppose you could blame it on our attempt to play fast football. Fastball is not our traditional strength

Correct.

I don't mind it though. We know we can play lockdown footy, it's the offensive exercution that kills us. Good to get some in game experience in.

I’m so worried about it that I no longer am.

Wait until next week, do you really want players to put there body's on the line for a scratch match, and get injured 

You want to see something that shows we will be a better side, the key areas that we needed to improve was skill execution and forward line efficiency.  We have seen none of that

 

The commentators have mentioned it a few times but the one positive from today seems to be Viney's inside 50s

Poor Max.

He looks like he hates having to kick at goal.

Something needs to change. Just don't know what.

Does anyone have a score

Melbourne: 10.7 (67) to Richmond 12.6 (78)


Verrall is actually holding his own pretty well thus far. competing at least.

  • 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?

  • POSTGAME: Hawthorn

    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.
