Giants didn’t turn up in the first Q

now it’s a real arm wrestle

bring it on

are we good enough!

I'd bring Turner on for Bowey in the second half.  He's a mile off this defensively and far too slow to move the ball on.  No penetration in his kicking when he does

    Rivers... 2 disposals this quarter

    GWS showing up

    Thrown away a solid lead.

    Billings, Nibbler and Kozzie are lost out there.

    Oliver our best but can't do it alone 

    How the [censored] wasn’t the first a free to Roo let alone the second when he was tackled with out it. [censored]

    Better if Kozz dishes this.  Too far out


    It's a real shame you can't rely on a 4 quarter performance from Melbourne anymore.

    I wonder if the players are flat because there is no atmosphere. 

    I know they started well but seriously it's  pretty quiet here

    Killing us with numbers around the ball. Working harder than us. Not sure why we’ve dropped off so much.

    Were done for this year. Time to blood the kids.

    Great start

    Giants went hard that Quarter

    50-50 game from here

    We can definitely beat ‘em. Need to keep the pressure up around the ball and run our hearts out.

    That quarter was the one we are used too.

    Roll the dice....who will turn up?

    Kozzie, Anb, Billings show some leadership fgs.

    Well done Oliver.

    We could have had that game wrapped up but we probably just threw away our finals chances.

    Why isn't Milk playing up the ground more?

    What a waste

    This game is just the perfect summary of our club.

    On and off and all over the place.

    Woey isn't fully ready yet.

     

     

    Giants were never going to lie down. They’re a bloody good team fighting for a spot in the 8 just like us.

    • 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.
