We'll take the 4 points but , sorry to say it , that was [censored] woeful !!!

I lost count of turnovers at about 500.

We must do better than that !

Yes, the turnovers were cruelling when these did not have to be ... the Dees allowed themselves to be hurried searching for spacemakers that never penetrated. Disco put in a good game - very handy with his ground coverage when it mattered. Well fought, Dees ... but it could have been a very prominent 'walkover' with a bit more thought and effort. Not too sure that Petty is 100% - he should be contributing more in terms of effective possessions and disposals.

I did think max was best over all of the 4 quarter. After half time he had a few more contributors to help him, but the hurst half was his

Interesting Kozzie saying they worked their “@%$3” off at training. 
 

Fatigue looked like a feature of the game. Looking forward to seeing them run ON TOP of the grass. 

 

- Petty to return to the back line were he belongs and contributes.

- BBB back forward 

- tmac out of the team

- Young Woey back to Casey

- Trac, Oliver,  Viney need a big week next week, playing well below par

Disco’s goal celebrations the highlight of the night for me. Fritta agrees 100%

Pros: 4 points, Disco! BOG by a country mile. The kids, generally. 

Cons: Lots of our stars quiet/sloppy. Too many turnovers. Not saying we will lose against the cats/blues, but if we play like that, we will. Need to sharpen up. Quick. Oh and Petty, the poor man’s Disco. WOG by a mile. Off to Casey pls.

Not very convincing but 4 pts, go Dees

Happy for Disco but that was a porridge game to watch.

Im not sure whats happened in the last 2 weeks.

 

That was swill that game.

How we won by doubling their score I'm sure I'll never know.

From the get go, kicking out on the full, missing set shots, kicking straight to Richmond player without any pressure on the kicker and worst of all the majority of our hand balls didn't go anywhere .

I'm sure we couldn't have played more poorly.

In the end we banged through some goals with better connection but there was still some sloppiness.

How poor are poor Richmond.

Petty out for sure.

Sparrow too.

I seriously think that was one of our worst efforts in at least  the last five years. Next week we play an unbeaten Geelong. We are in for a tough time. 

A win is a win. 
 

Geelong game will really show us where we’re at.

Jackson 2.0?

Fair dinkum, not invested, that's why he got crunched going back into a pack.

Everyone else, repeat after me 1,2,3, We trust the match committee- Turner was a great selection.

A good scoreboard, considering the number of passengers we had: Petty, Chandler, JVR, Sparrow.

Trac was fumbly. Clarrie and Viney were below their best. Fortunately Disco, Maxy, Rick and Maysie were on song.

How did Turner not win the medal?

BOG by the length of a BBB run-up

 

take a bow son.

He's like another Nev Jetta. 

I can see a rock solid player, swingman with this bloke.

Lever post match interview "worst kicking I think I've ever seen before half time"

At least we straightened up in the end.

El, to be honest, he lost me with the interview he gave at the Golf Course with Adelaide mates. That might be just me but I probably now view him from a negative standpoint.

He also doesn't appear to carry injury as well as others (of course, that's again me as just an onlooker).

But if he doesn't buy in, why play him? He's not the same bloke from our Premiership year. He's marking time. Hope I'm wrong.

 

 

Glad May is pleased , clearly happy over the top great to see

Got the win but gees. We're gonna get smashed by Carlton and Geelong if we don't get out act together. So many mistakes. Relying too much on too few.

Players come in and out of form at stages.  It's a long season.

But to have this many out of form, especially through the middle.  We simply have to get two out of the three amigos back to their best to have any chance against the Cats.

Then there's Petty.  He simply must take a spell at Casey to try and gain some match fitness and form.

At this stage i'd also look to bring Sestan in for Sparrow.  He probably isn't quite ready for a four quarter match but could come in as the sub with Laurie brought in to the interchange.

Was it really necessary to sign JVR for another FOUR years? Surely two would’ve been enough? Not saying he won’t make it, but seems a bit over the top for what he’s produced this year, another 5 years ahead, good luck to him 


If Shai Bolton got injured Richmond would well finish 18th this year. 

 

Disgraceful disposal. We made them look okay. 4 points is good but play like that next week and we will get done badly.

  • 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.
