Really thought Oliver was unfairly pinged a lot Tonight.

Very inconsistent umpire on htb. Hot then cold then hot

    These wins galvanise teams. 

    We stepped up and despite seemingly trying to kick ourselves out of it, did what we had to do, when we needed to do it. Highlights for me, Caleb clutch tackle and goal, and the FRIBBLER! 

    A great outcome to nab this one. I still think the Blues are more dangerous. Win that, and we are on our way. If we play with the same pressure and kick better we will cover them. 

    Proud of the grit shown by the boys.

    Go Dees 🔥

     

    But we still need to improve the kicking, it was the reason we lost against Collingwood and Carlton in the finals.

    But overall a great performance.

    Wow. Gut wrenching last quarter.

    Thank you  Jeremy.

    Max - you led us to victory.

    Lever - the rock.

    Petty - welcome back

    Langdon - you can have a rest now.

    Fritsch - how the hell you were never drafted at 18yo, I will never know. You are simply brilliant.

    Suck on that Cats. I love beating that team.

    Goal of the season to Fritsch. Magic effort to win it.

    Defensively brilliant all night. Lever superb.

    Great to see Petty clunking them and back in form.

    Goal kicking not good. Far out we nearly kicked it away.

    We’re up to our necks in it this year. Make no mistake.

    Go Dees

    A few more highlights, obviously Lever a one man fortress. Probably BOG. And so good to have Petty’s mitts back on. Once he gets the feet working again, he will be a big asset. His marks were so important. 

    watching the vision right now you can see how happy the boys are for Petts. Great to see.

    How old was he when we recruited him? 21?

    I apologise for the doom and gloom in the match thread, I just can't help it. Everything about this game pointed to another heartbreaking, self inflicted loss.

    Thank god it wasn't.

    Petty the MVP.

    We’re in the hunt for the premiership. Make no bones about it. We’re a top 4 team. 
     

    I thought Geelong would beat us tonight and I am bloody wrapped how wrong I was. 
     

    we are fixing our forward issues and there was clear evidence in that game. 
     

    Petty getting the cobwebs off.

     

    [censored] bring on the blues and let’s see how they like us this year.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
