We look very switched on. That quarter fills me with confidence that @binman was on the money with his loading and fatigue theories for the first half last week. Ripper of a match so far, hope we can keep it up.

    I think your close. 80% perhaps

    Yeah I think this year is going to be a write off. He is void of his usual confidence. Maybe having to pull his head in has really cut deep. 


    Holding the ball is red hot.. at least for anyone wearing red

    Cats have managed to flood our fwd line like they did against Carlton.

    We have been efficient going fwd compared to them thanks to our mercurial defenders.

     

    Pressure is hot from both teams

    Finish the quarter with higher disposal efficiency, we look good picking our way into their zone 

    Good start but must keep up our intensity 


    Both team showing their best, lots of running and great skills. Our foot skills tonight have been outstanding. If we continue to stall them moving through the wing with an extra player loose, we win. 

    Umpiring is a concern. Not from a bias point of view, but over umpiring minor discrepancies, and not seeing the ball being dropped by the tackled player. Frustrating.

    Any chance we can get @binman to teach these channel 7 nuffies a thing or 2 on commentary? For ex-players and people who watch the game for a living none of them have any idea.

    Specifically about why our stats look different to prior years and how we "just find a way to hang on" despite the stats not looking great 🙄

    Best post ever.

    Such passionate disdain.

    Love it Layzie.

    I want us to beat this arrogant mob so much.

    I’m still a bit uneasy at how easy the Cats move the ball from D50. It just shows what an elite defence does. Our Midfield is still really average. Just need one of our boys to go off the charts. Just one and we can split this game open.

    It's almost as if they decide beforehand which rule are we red hot on tonight.

    Viney down for quite a while there


    I predict a draw

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
