That quarter will come back to haunt us. Should be up by 5 goals. It's not just the set shots, it's the wastefulness anywhere in the forward half.

Scott is a better coach than Goodwin, wouldn't be surprised to get jumped by Geelong in the third and we won't have enough firepower to respond.

    Is it only me or does it feel like when Max wins the ruck contest more often than not the ball goes to space or opposition...

    Wonder how we can utilise the mammoth ruck we have in Max, not sure if it's a position issue.

    Wonderful contest with the worst goal kicking you’ll ever see. This really is anyone’s game.

    We are doing so much right but not cashing in. The fear from here is that the Cats are capable of putting us away in a quarter whereas we don't have that burst in our arsenal

    But we do, we just haven’t converted 🥹

    Very quiet half from Petracca.

    Welcome to the world of tagging.

    Can’t believe it’s taken till now for clubs to put the clamps on him.

    I’m not a fan of this new game style. 3-2 goals in a half is not pretty. 

    We look tentative and safe. If we don’t take on the game we will get smacked in the 2nd half.

     

    The game style isn't the reason we arent scoring though is it? Getting some decent looks.

    Chin really struggled in that half.

    Needs to pick up his ground ball game and defensive positioning on opponent when we haven't got the ball.

    Moniz should be breathing down the neck of Billings or Chin but is being played out of his usual crumbing small forward / pushing up to the middle (at times) role at Casey.

    That needs fixing and pronto.

    Billings needs to lift his intensity in general.  That part of his game is a long way off this level.

    Ye of little faith 

    Viney and Koz are flying.

    Jack got smashed hard in the neck and head. Betchya nothing happens.

    We need to take a breath in front of goals. Such a frenetic pace, it's making us rush up forward I think.

    A really fantastic game of footy.

    Proud of the boys so far but as @Superunknown said, it's got a bit of the last 2 years finals about it.

    Take a breath boys, you can do it.

    Surely Trac will have a better second half

    Maybe but to be fair if we kicked even a little straighter that’s a 6-7 goal half. Not bad in slippery conditions.

    Scott is certainly more proactive. Goody seems to back in ‘the system’ time and again. 

    I wouldn’t describe our forward line or even attacking game as explosive. Need to get more of it in to our game.

    Chin is carrying a leg or ankle injury I'm pretty sure.

    Then why do we play him? Haven't the coaches and footy dept learners from past mistakes? Look no further than Clarry.

    Scrappy game.

    Both sides.Our defence is keeping us in it.

    Bitters is rolling drunk already.

    Disco a very quiet night after last week.

    Noticed too that Chin has been quiet the last two games and tonight as well. Hope it's not like last year when he went missing after a strong start.

    Trac up fwd as he's being tagged out of it.

    Laurie on for Billings.

    Other than that it's been a strong effort in a high pressure high stakes game.

    Trac being tagged really hurts us because Oliver just isn’t at the same level at the minute. If he was, the opposition would be tagging Oliver instead who handles it far better.

    It’s been a quiet year by his standards. Yes in other games he’s getting possessions but he’s no where near his damaging best.

    Chin looking like a candidate to be replaced by McAdam if he doesn’t do much more tonight and next Thursday.

      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.

      It’s game day and the Demons are chasing a fourth straight win as we take on the high flying Hawks at the G. After decades of being tormented by the Hawks the Dees will be keen to extend their 7 year dominance over Hawthorn.

    • NON-MFC: Round 09

      Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?
