Not a great game for skills, but I am loving it. A group of young kids having a crack against one of the Premiership favourites. Clarry & Trac back. Viney casuing havoc. If we fix up simple skill errors, we can win it.

    That Toby Greene goal should have been a free kick to Petty, and that is now the goal up GWS sleeve they needed - and didn’t deserve. It’s actually a couple goals for the game the umps have given them inside their forward 50, that have resulted in goals.

    Come on it's raining and frittas not a big fan of the wet, maybe he should play with an umbrella hat?

    We’re trying to be too cute for these conditions. Most of our goals have come from loose ball deep in the forward 50 but instead of getting the ball in there, we’re trying to hit the perfect pass. Just get the ball in there, get it to ground and see what happens.

    Bloody Dopey Dwayne on Fox.......Makes for a very long afternoon.

    Not convinced by Howes, not sure what he brings. Understand with McVee and Hore unavailable and Rivers gone into the mids, but backline feels light-on for small defenders.

    He does s good thigs at times, but looks like a deer in the headlights under pressure, especially in and around packs.

    Are you expecting deelanders to look at the positives.

    I put the last 10 minute fade out down to fitness. We slowed to a walk waiting for Ht and they kept running. Symptom of them playing last week I think. 

    We’re doing a lot right but we will keep making life hard for ourselves if we don’t limit the turnovers and if we keep missing set shots from directly in front. 

    Fritsch’s first halves in particular are becoming a problem

    Toby Greene is the one to stop.

    Been involved in nearly every Giants goal.

    Very good first half. I thought we were going to get pumped. Loving the look of Lindsay.

    Seriously? We dominated 90% of that quarter and still lost on the scoreboard. Our forward line is hopeless, JVR and Fritsch can't get near it, Jefferson and Johnson not up to it. Leading every stat except the scoreboard. Sound familiar?


    Bah humbug, can't even watch the game on the telly, paid for a watchafl membership (plus a regular one) and the club didn't send me a valid activation code.  And I've only just found this out.  Someone in the membership dept is going to discover a very grumpy email from me on Monday.

    Yep Umpire fell for the 3 card trick. He had no way of knowing whether Greene had one hand holding Petty back or was Petty holding Greene by the arm.

    No and he has so far stopped any Taylor influence on the game..

    Jeffo 1 goal and a goal assist not enough for a first gamer??

    Yes seriously, we're playing 6 debutants up against a flag favourite who absolutely thumped collingwood last week and we should be winning. That's good. I recommend taking a deep breath before you get too sad.

    • CASEY: Southport

      The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

    • PREGAME: Sydney

      Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?

    • GAMEDAY: Brisbane

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are back on the road with a massive challenge ahead — facing the reigning premiers, the Brisbane Lions, at their Gabba fortress. The Lions are licking their wounds after a shock draw in Tasmania last week, while Melbourne’s season hangs in the balance. Can the Dees defy the odds and pull off a miracle to keep their razor thin finals hopes alive?
