Turner has been an absolute deadeye for goal, but his biggest issue has been positioning I feel.

Seems he's getting the hang of it now!

    May is home too. I don’t know that we need to read too much into it. 
    But really good to see Clarry there! 

    Trac was busy having coffee with Lachie Neale this morning, according to the Herald Sun.

    After all the negative stuff this last month a win like this gives you hope for the future no matter what happens now

    Screw draft picks

    Culture and a winning mentality far more important

    Surely we have learnt this lesson the hard way by now

    Good. Neale wanted out of Brisbane too. Maybe they’re chatting about how to mend bridges.

    A player who wanted to move, was held to a contract and is now happy at his a club?

    Or did Trac really like Noosa

    Goodbye pick 5

    Hello pick 10?

    Goodbye "Dean Bailey era playing for draft picks" mentality.

    Hello "next Flag tilt"

    I hope not.

    I guess with Gus gone.

    Anb possibly leaving.

    Tracca injured.

    Oliver too...

    The club doesn't seem so tight knit.

    Hopefully it's still woven deep and we lose nobody.

    Wins like this certainly help.

    Gawn spoke wonderfully yet again. Great captain and leader. To me today was a performance of united group, no fractures.
     

    Can’t say how I feel about Trac though. Can’t see him with the team in the rooms. Oliver is there, Spargs is there.

    Where are you Trac?

     

    I suspect medical advice would be that he still should not fly

    Alex was massive in the midield the further the game went on.

    Fabulous that he got his wish to sing the song 🎶

     🤞 there is a repeat next week!

    Please next year, loosen the obsession with “Contest & Defence” just a little bit!! Half a turn… and let the Boys play with some dare. 
    Scoring is just as important as defending…

    Doubtful unless he walked to Noosa

    We are going to have some genuine competition for tall forward spots next year.

    JVR and Turner have to be locks for mine.

    I'd love Petty to play back, but where does TMac play? May and Lever are locks at the back.

    I'm so excited by Turner and have been most of this year. He's quick, he attacks contests in the air, and he's a good kick.

    He still fades in and out of games, but that's natural at his age and level of experience. 

    Jack Viney, Max Gawn, Alex Neal-Bullen and Ed Langdon were incredible today. Possibly the best game Jack has played. Absolutely bossed it.

    Jack Viney was asked about his future with the Demons when interviewed on ground after game and didn’t deny about whether he was leaving or not, just said let’s get through this and we’ll sort that stuff out at and of year, honestly think he’s thinking about going to North, they’re trying for Ollie Wines too. His old man is there and his childhood mate could be there too, don’t be surprised if he leaves at end of year!!

    Amazing how winning the centre clearances makes a difference @Binmans PA.

    Yeah, I see a forward line of JVR, Fritsch, Turner and Jefferson. Petty May and Lever down back. I am a huge fan of TMac, but can't see him in the 22 next year (having sad that, he keeps surprising me).

    Like you, Turner looks on the edge of busting the game apart.

    • 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.
