Kolt hasn’t done a lot but at least is energetic and attacks the contest. Some of the others could follow his example e.g Billings

    Don't recommend it IHW. Even if you get bail before I'm back in Mt Eliza.

    Move Petty back & T Mac forward. Worth a try at least.

    Petty's a liability mate

    Umpires gave one goal to Brisbane. Our Defender gave them 2 more, see Howes turnover and May's 50m penalty.

    Shaping up to be our worst  performance since the Port loss in 2020 at the Gabba.

    Have to agree.

    Well he's two disposals above Bbb. .Fritta and Petty the latter who has had zero touches.

    Petty no touches in a half.....hmmm.

    Not sure why he thought his [censored] poor effort chasing that ball to the boundary was so funny.

    Maybe we should have taken the offer from crows

    Days like this is what makes you wonder how do the coaches prepare a team for this type of match? 7 day rest and we look like we didn't train during the week.


    Gotta say so far Joey Montagna is 1000000000000000% on the money sadly

    Too many passengers, other posters have named them. Worst half of football I can remember. Pathetic. Maybe we should consider moving our home games to the Adelaide Oval. This supposed home ground of ours holds absolutely no fear for anyone. Glad I got sick and couldnt go.

    If he hasn't been extended by the end of July, consider him gone I think.

    The TAB has the line at 26.5pts so if we can get the final result under 4 goals then the night won’t be a complete disaster and we’ve salvaged a bit of percentage.

    Show some fight for a bloke playing his first game FFS

    Missing Kosi badly. Could spark our midfield right now. 

    I hear you Jaded but that's all on him. Thanks Mr elevated elbows. I love your skills but your agro needs to go. What good are you if your suspended every month?

    Godspeed

    Well at least the Haymes paint all the goals video will be short maybe they can skip it this week

    Any ideas coming out of the coaches box this evening? have not seen any positive moves they might have made. 

    How about swapping petty and Tmac for a quarter? we might get a bit more out of Petty at least.

    Have to try something.  T-Mac swap might work.

    JVR plays mostly ruck.  Max goes forward.

    What to do with Billings & BBB.  Both need to lift big time.

    Same with mid field.

    Really missing Kozzy's class,  pressure including his occasional stints in the middle.

    A few are still in form but too many are flat as a tack.

    The ball also hasn't bounced our way alot tonight 

    The glaring ump error against Clarry was a shocker.

    Somehow need to free Tracc up.  I'd be playing him forward for a stint early this quarter.

    Kolt in the middle for a while when Tracc is forward and see if he can spark something maybe.  Too soon?


    Why are playing scared and soft footy. 
     

    Lions are like Clubber Lang. Hungry 

     

    Time to stand up Dees and fight

    Ok glad I didn’t watch much of that qtr.

    It may be self-punishment but I’ll watch after half time to see if we’re actually going to do/change anything.

     Midfield need to pick up. Take marks. Run the lions ragged. Kick lots of goals 

     

    What in the world is the reason we have not won a centre clearance for so long.

    Not just this game

    • 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.
