After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.

    Shocking last 10 minutes, the whole review should be about that.

    Mentally went to sleep, unacceptable.

    When Gawn retires we are proper****ed.

    Arrogant coaching by Goodwin for taking Gawn off.

    Awful finish and now only few positives to come out after what was heading towards a really strong win.

    Meh.

    Our forward line remains an issue but our midfield looked much better in that second half.

    Gawn and Bowey were awesome tonight.

    Not a great first half, in great part because we were getting very little from Trac, Clarry and Kozzie. No surprise that things turned with a big second half from each of them. Maxy was huge.

    Disappointing way to end the game, some useful % wasted.

    Anyway, happy for the win, we continue to build some momentum. Over to the west to make amends for a bad loss last year!!!

    Will take the win of course but jesus that last quarter was frustrating. We really need to learn how to run out games properly if we want to have a decent number of wins.

    As far as individual highlights go, Gawn reminded everyone of how much of a champion he is and Bowey has officially won me over.

    Got the job done. Max was immense in the 3rd. Great signs from so many when the game was there to be won. Couldn't give a toss about the last 10 mins. Rather preserve max & may - marathon not sprint & all that.

    Good to get the win but our last quarter was PATHETIC.

    We need to fix this otherwise the better sides will roll us.

    Fritta is still a selfish player and should be better.

    Yep. Gawn is the GOAT for mine. The amount of wins he generates all over the ground has saved us for years. He papers over A LOT of cracks.

    We worked bloody hard to win the game

    Who cares if we took the foot off the pedal and rested our 33yo workhorse star

    We still won the game

    It’s OK to be happy guys

    6 goal swing there in the last QTR. We gifted them at least 3 goals and we missed at least 3.

    Yep, that last one Spargo all alone at goal square. Selfishness all around.

    Fullerton is a liability. Not sure if jvr wants to play ruck. Can anyone else fill this role?

    Habits matter, % matters and we let a bad habit creep in and we lost valuable %.

    Happy we won of course, but as the players and coaches always say every moment matters.

    Top 5 worst games of AFL footy I’ve ever seen. From a Dees perspective, we’re very very ordinary of course, but without the best ruckman the game’s ever seen, I think we might be the worst team in the league. At the moment. Things can improve no doubt. And they will. Hopefully. 71,000 at the G, and they all should feel robbed.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
