    It's the handballs without even looking that kill us.

    Who doesn't look?

    Half the side at least.

    It's madness.

    Its just reflex and it's always wrong.

    Salem one of the biggest offenders much of the time.

    OMFG what did I say about Dangerfield! Biggest flopping, oldest moron going around

    It's not pretty.

    And some horrible efforts by us.

    But we playing with more intent at least.

    Duck that umpire.

    Sharpen our disposal even 20 % and we are a chance.

    That's how poor our disposal has been.

    Thankfully taken the cats down to our poor skill.level.

    Max you need to find yourself again. Not one mark on a dry night. What's going on.

    Your seven feet almost.

    Umps need to fix up their understanding of 15 meters. It’s way more inconsistently called than last year.

    a lot of people retiring Max after his one dip in form in years.

    Not even Max can get the better of Old Father Time.

    He desperately needs the back-up ruck we haven't got.

    We are really struggling for skills, game plan, can’t stick a tackle but what we don’t need is to be battling the umpires as well as Geelong! That not 15 call on Kossie was ridiculous. And you cannot touch Danger or Cameron without a fricking whistle blowing! It’s doing my head in.

    Our skills and positioning has never looked worse. We're a shell of the team that trained the house down.

    GAWN AND VINEY CAPTAIN AND VICE CAPTAIN TO CASEY... JUST TERRIBLE


    Plenty of glimmers of hope and positives. Probably not enough, but at least they look like a football team. At times.

    Get Windsor and Kozzie back up to speed, Lindsay and Lever back in ... building, building.

    Been an issue from round one.

    Pass the hat and get some tape measures.

    Agree that Petty needs to be shown the door.

    Lacks any sense of footy iq, is slow and lazy.

    I can forgive the first two DD, but I question his effort. Has been absolutely pathetic tonight.

    • 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.
