Never known a side like us to blow a good lead. We are incapable of playing 4 quarters. Billing’s continues to disappoint.

You didn't see last night's game? It happens, momentum is huge in the modern game.

    Lucky they butchered a certain goal

    they were a kick away from a GF last year 

    Because of shoddy umpiring against Pies of course.

    Windsor's 1 percenters are incredible for a first year player.

    If he doesn't win the rising star, there's something wrong with our game.

    8 tackles, 5 disposals. 

    GW$ are a very good team - they weren’t going to lie down after QT. 

    Anb is a great barometer for us. His disposals are well down. Yes he always tackles well but they are not having much impact. Is he playing a tagging role?

    In any event it's rare for him to only have five touches.

    Oliver is back to his best but he needs some help.

    In the first quarter our pressure was off the charts and we were first to the ball.

    In the last it was constant catch up .

    Edited by leave it to deever

    Bailey Laurie? Haven’t seen much from him

    He started strong, I’ve just seen gaping holes in the zone where he is. 

    Astounding that after so many years we aren't instructing Kozzy (when he's 40+ out and rarely makes the distance) to either find a short target OR HB to a player coming from behind who can.

    They made a prelim and should have won it last year if not for umpire corruption 

    umpire and / or AFL

    AMW also is applying great pressure and showing composure in his first few games.

    I think he's not bad from 40 plus out.

    If we get this Oliver back next year, and Trac at full health, we're back in business.

    Time to get Turner on IMO.

    • 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.
