He cycled home. You were close. 

But he was banned from rock climbing on game day a few years ago by the club so probably had excess energy saturday evening.

    That's as good as any win this year with No.22 doing his best to get the Peptides back from the death.

    22 should be sent to the country leagues and never heard or seen from again.

    Yep,,he's a bottler, isn't he. Just when you thought hello they are going to let us win this easily. Two free kicks and a fifty later.....

    Number 12 is barely indistinguishable as well.

    The AI artwork is a little wonky but I get the gist.

    Re the '50', I agree with you all (apologies for not quoting you all individually). I've always assumed it came partly from the measurement reference provided the 50m square and 50m arcs (so it'd be nice, btw, if the umpires used these, consistently and accurately!) So a reference convenience would be retained with 'half 50' - 25m.

    15m provided a gain of a minimum markable kick; the 50m change took it all the way to a 'full' kick. I like the idea that a 'middling' penalty would disrupt the set-ups.

    Re Saturday's game (surely this has been jumped on already, so apologies) I loved our forwards getting the job done, tradesman-like. You know who I mean;

    Fritta and Turner?

    Oops. Embarrassing. Someone really has. My deepest apologies, now, @Fritta and Turner

    aw schucks, thats ok, no apologies required.  I thought we were good at grinding down the opposition and were able to manufacture forward opportunities to construct a winning score as specified in our game plan.

    You are only as good as your next game,   can they do it again,  then of course  it gets easier and easier,  ??

    but if we cannot beat these ones in front of our faces we do not deserve the finals slot.

    very similar to 1987  now that was a run to the finals    Can we do it    Yes we can   thanks Barack

    At least Buckenara isn’t playing, I still watch replays of that preliminary final and cringe at the last 10 minutes with our misses and the coast to coast kick out. I’m still not convinced Grinter infringed Buckenara.

    That free kick to Turner when he kicked Drapers head is one of the worst calls i’ve ever seen

    Please scrap the sliding rule AFL! Brought in off a single injury. horrible rule

    I’ve had a dislocated patella and almost complete tear of my MCL from someone sliding in below the knee. Injuries are common from that action. It’s a good rule.

    I hear ya. If the rule was adjudicated correctly I see the merit.  However it is generally just given when a bloke is stationary on the ground and makes any contact with an opponent.  In this case getting his head kicked off

    So we're still making excuses for Petty's performance (selection) because 

    A) lack of preseason/injuries

    B) he's playing out of position 

    It's not all on him, I get it, it's as much on team selection that causes him to either play unfit or play in a position where he's ineffective.

    But we can't rely on these issues when analysing performance. If you're not fit or in position where you need to play, then let's call it out.

    He was monstered by Draper and not much more effective in the forward line v Mackay.

    Out muscled, out bodies, out worked across the ground.

    I'd write this season off for Petty, he has shown he can play and given a full preseason next year he will show a lot of the doubters up. He's better than this.

    I was behind the Demon goals in that last quarter and it seemed like a foregone tragedy or stage play that they would get the goal. As soon as we mucked it up down our end, It all seemed to happen in slow motion and I just knew we had lost it.

    From memory we did have our chances in that last quarter,

    It's ok to win and still be critical.

    That's what successful clubs do. Teams like the c*ts and h*wks didn't create premiership dynasties by sitting on their laurels and not being critical about performance.

    That's all I'm doing and that's all I suggest you do.

    Soak up the win by all means, but always look for areas for improvement. 

    Enough already, you have made your point and I think everyone on here knows you aren't a big HP fan, ok, we got it.

    Did you watch the game or just the parts that HP was involved in, how can you enjoy a win when you only look at one aspect of it?

    Dyson Heppell first they stripped him of the captaincy, now he's been ejected without a parachute. Ground zero can't come quick enough.

    • 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.
