Clarry needs to be subbed off at half time -  his efforts are embarrassing….

    I'm sorry but poor Oliver is just lost out there.

    He had one touch that quarter and five for the whole game.

    Of those he's just turned it over.

    Almost feel he should be subbed off.

    We can't afford to carry these sort of games.

    I know he's been one of the greatest players ever for us but that makes it even more worrying.

    Oliver’s hand has to be the excuse . So if he cannot handball or tackle, then why is he out there? Seriously it is so glaringly obvious he does not belong in the starting line up.

    His hand. Tentative going for a rolling ground ball. So unlike him.

    And really does seem very heavy in the legs, l love the bloke but he’s career seems to be in limbo

    sub oliver off to give him a rest. they guy needs time to recover. At the moment he is a liability the way he is playing. our forwards need to do better, as does our delivery into the forward line. a lot of good play up fields is totally destroyed by our delivery into the forward line. and the umpiring has been pretty bad our players held, pushed in the back, they drop the ball everything going unnoticed by the umpires. really the AFL needs to do something about that.

     

    Oliver playing like trash.

    Sub him out.

    Just nicked out the shed for a dart.
    Radio on and hear the commentators.
    "Bit of a nothing game ATM"
    "Yeah, hasn't reached any great heights."

    This is my issue with Goodwin.
    Our games never do.
    Dour, rugby scrum.

    Love Oliver to be subbed, but if Marshall is out, we are very tall down back

    It always feels like Port spear their kicks and we're just up and under kings.

    Exactly. Up and under kings … jv7, Salem, Billings, Clarry… all like 9 iron chip kicks versus Houston, Bergman, Horne-Francis darts !!!

    Petty's been good. Turner too.

    Jvr bern struggling of late but he gives his all. 

    Our delivery fwd hasn't been quick like Ports.

    And to be fair , Port have flooded our fwd line quick smart all night.

    Surely it's not still his hand. Don't know what it is. You'd think instinct would kick in.How can you go from being the best player in the league to being a passenger 

    Get Melky on. Even Jeffo would have got his hands on some of those balls coming in. And Blake Howes is a complete waste of space down back.

    An aberration.

     


    Where has that forward half pressure been in the last 6 weeks?

    Really sick and tired with all and sundry, commentators included, slagging the champion that is Clayton Oliver. Issues well documented and 14 pins in his hand and still our highest possession gatherer for the season. He'll be back bigger and better than ever. Champions are rare. Give him the respect he deserves. 

    Absolutely agree!

    Glad our match day entertainment has succumb to the stupid visuals of people in the crowd

    Came to say the same. He tried making himself throw up with the doctor standing next to him. 

     

    Really liking what I've seen today.

    Nothing perfect or flashy but highly contested and every player giving a lot of effort.

    This is what we need to see for the rest of the season.

    • 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.
