Early days, but the debutants don't look out of place. 

Liking Jeffo's second efforts.

    I’m going early but Lindsay is going to be a superstar for the Dees.

    And his firsts. I see all the hype now.

    Thanks #Pickettfence.

    Love the jeers for a Gawn free. Shame they miss so many in the ruck. Keefe is undersized and holding in every duel

    Petty so much more comfortable and effective on the backline.

    Disposal Efficiency. The stat that has haunted us for years still ever-present.

    It’s only one quarter but Jeffo has a lot more presence than what was being advertised. Looks good.

    A bit rusty but not terrible. Take away their goal from Langdons 30m kick backwards that missed the target, we would be in front.

    Oliver's attitude and body language are so hugely improved vs last year. He just looks ready to tear a game apart.

    Onto more important issues. New padded seats to Trident level 2, very nice (and no chewy stuck underneath) but where are the cup holders? Seriously MCG, WTF 😀

    The difference between the two teams is that they can reliably find and hit targets. We can't.

    • Thumb Down 1

    Great quarter of footy. Loving our new forward philosophy of long bombs only when all other options are closed off. New kids looking good. Both teams squandering easy goal opportunities. Our backs as brilliant as ever. 

    We have to stop their easy possessions when it comes off a pack, and their spread way from that.

    Our pressure, run and intensity on song.

    Yeah is there scope to put these back on?

     

    GWS are a good side. I think we’re going ok, should be in front. Oliver looks sharp, and interested. Gawn a beast, Petracca hasn’t lost a step, and Lindsay looks impressive.

    • 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.
