It would be fantastic to pull away in the 3rd Quarter 

After Halftime has been a slogfest this Season 

If we can't beat this propped up, pretend team, then there is seriously as something wrong with us as a club.

We will win today.

    Overall it’s been a solid effort. Suns have been off but after a poor start we have played pretty well

    Nice to see out future fwd line starting to click. Turner and Petty looking good.

    Apparently the only bloke playing for Dees is Viney.

    Gold Coast must be winning by 50 points judging by the negative vs positive  posts. Remember the reason we are not out there is because the blokes that are, are better than us !!!!

    Damn it that's cruel  15 minute break at work. Puck up my phone and utshalf time.

    What have I missed? 

    Very little. 

    Disco’s crumbed a couple of nice goals.

    Viney had a big second quarter. 

    Max has largely beaten Witts but given up a couple of goals.

    Our skills have been poor, the Suns have been worse.

    And Sparrow got a nasty ankle injury that looked a little high ankle sprain ish.

    If nibbler doesnt pick up , he should be dropped

    imo gc17 are pathetic - that they have had access to so much talent over the course of their time and they still haven't got near finals is an indictment upon them as a franchise

    these sides very much look like teams who are sitting 11-13 on the ladder

    Pickett has been the laziest player on the ground today… just jogging around, applying pretty much zero pressure… thankfully one of the only times he did apply a little pressure and got his only possession, resulted in a goal assist.

    I’m loving Turner’s game, Hore is showing a bit down back, Rivers managed to get himself somewhat back on track after a horrendous first quarter, Salem has been mostly good, but I have to wonder what has gone wrong with his kicking game. I’m not McVee is ready for a move to the midfield yet, having had only four possessions.

    Here’s hoping McVee, Fritsch and Puckett can get themselves more involved in the second half.

    So for half a game at least. Goodness is a champion coach

    Great to see us kick more and handball less, tackle more and mark more than the opposition at half time. And despite less free kicks and i50s, we are in front. Well done Dees.

    So happy with how Tholstrup is looking

    Ben Brown’s own ‘Mini Me’.

    Dees are definitely in this. Viney not looking like someone dreaming of Arden Street. Rivers had a poor first quarter but improved later in the second quarter. Carn the Dees!

    Great to see Charlie Spargo in the rooms!

    He is alive!

    Forgotten man. If he can get fit, ANB's spot is up for grabs.

    His inside 50 connection was elite in 2021.

    Kozzie has gone to the wrong ground I reckon. Unsighted today.

     

     

    Well done Kolt. Now kick another one.

    Love Max giving Kolt’s leg a rub like a proud Dad.

    • 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.
