POSTGAME: Rd 02 vs Hawthorn

A very good team effort against an opponent that played a very old style gameplan.

The Lever interview was perhaps a little worrying in that it sounded like he's resigned to missing a couple of weeks but he's glad it's not more.

We have some gorilla forwards coming up in the next few weeks so Petty may be spending some time down back.

Great to see Fritsch with a bag and two goals by Chandler at key times

    We did what we were expected to do. 
    Our defence was outstanding given the adversity. Whilst Tmac looked like a b triple chasing Chip, Hore stepped up and Howes did some nice things too.
    Fritsch tightened up after a quick start by Sicily, to finish with 5 was a great effort owning the Hawks skipper. 
    Petrraca is a gun, and as those above have mentioned, he was a class above. Kozzie also looked a class above in the small forward role. 
    and lastly kudos to the recruitment team - billings and Windsor provide skillful quick transition which only helps our forwards.

    Tough run of games coming up. Hopefully the other players pull up ok and May & Lever can get right and come back in sooner rather than later.

    The Hawks kicked one goal with May and Lever off the ground 

    At Halftime they would have given themselves a sniff 

    Jimmy Stynes played with Broken Ribs….

    Yeah, a poor effort by May not to get back on the field and instead take the easy way by ambulance. #culture.

    Hawthorn thought they were playing soccer in the first quarter.

    MFCSS: finally resolve forward-line issues. Later that day, injury disrupts forward-line issues resolution.

    If umps had awarded holding the ball at all against BOTH teams it would have flowed more and I reckon a 75 point win.

    It's a bittersweet win but it is against Hawthorn. 

    We're second on the footywire ladder.

    Great win all things considered. Disco Turner may need to step up

    Well I suppose he might when he comes off the injury list in about 5-6 weeks.

    You were giving me and about 30 other Dees fans severe depression with your overreaction. A few weeks is concerning but the overreaction is out of control.

    And Maysie.

    Gee we couldn't have got Petty and Tmac back in on time. And we recruited Hore.

    Let's hope it's all nothing too bad.

    How bad is our medical team that they would send a player with a suspected ACL to do run throughs and strap him up hoping he can get back on, in round 3 🙄

    Loved Maxy’s hand pass to a wide open Spaz in the forward 50 who goaled, and Max nonchalantly ran to the bench (for less of a cheer than Clarry or Trac got)

    Your knee can feel quite ok until you try and turn, his run through didn’t feel good clearly. He’s done it twice and it was innocuous last time.

    There was nothing ACL alluding in Levers movement. Anyone care to explain why they think this?

    Look at melkshams. The jerk upon tear was so much more significant. To me it looks like a twist to miniscus.

    Did they send him to do run throughs last time? 
    There is a very specific ACL test they do. It’s either negative, positive or inconclusive like it was with Gawn last year. An inconclusive test would be treated as an ACL.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
