They get on top for a few minutes and kick the most utterly showboaty POS goals ever. And their fans carry on like delinquents at NASCAR. [censored] ahead of me jeering Gawn when he was going off, telling him to man up.

 

We are smashing them.  3 reasons I'm swearing at the TV - Shite umpiring, Huddo commentating, and our kicking for goal.
Should be 30+ in front.

 

How many set shots did we miss that quarter? 7?

Gawn back injury again? 

Errors left, right & centre ...

1st Quarter ...

  • ANB misses an absolute sitter.
  • Vince gives away a deliberate OOB - goal to the cats results
  • 4 demons fly for the ball in the hot-spot - cats crumb a goal
  • Jetta mismatched against Hawkins - goal to cats
  • Gawn bowls over a cats player late - downfield free and a goal to the cats

2nd Quarter ...

  • Watts plays from behind in a one on one - cats rebound and score a goal
  • Smith misses an absolute sitter
  • Garlett should have grabbed the ball on the wing - he didn't and a goal to the cats results.
  • Harmes misses a very gettable shot a goal
  • Garlett misses a straightforward chest mark - another missed opportunity.
  • Stretch misses a very gettable shot at goal
  • Weideman misses a very gettable shot at goal
  • Gawn gives away a free with a crude tackle - a goal to the cats results.
  • Vince pushed off the ball far too easily in the backline - a goal to the cats results
  • Kent misses a very gettable shot at goal
  • Petracca misses a very gettable shot at goal

Despite all of the above we're only 3 points down. 

 


It doesn't look like our day in front of goal. We dominated them again that quarter but may have kicked ourselves out of it

I'd like them all to survive the storm. Mostly.

 

If we can straighten up, we've got them.

These shots on goal a woeful!

The umps are no better as they're clearly influenced by the crowd.

Several players also need to step up.


I think sooner or later we will land some of these shots and it's just a matter of trying to restrict the cats scoring

I'm generally not one to bang on about Tyson but he's been shocking today. He's not getting enough of it and also going at 0% efficiency.

Gawn out for the game according to 3AW, big role for watts now! keep it up jack

We can't buy a goal, let alone kick one, at the moment.

We were bloody lucky they didn't kick another one when OMAC decided to let the ball get through his legs (with lazy [censored] Tom Hawkins getting reward for no effort).

Like the endeavour Oscar, but jesus, stop giving me heart-attacks.

Have you not seen Deliverance? They're all there.

And the umpiring gifts

What's going on with Gawn?

I'm watching this from a loud pub in Lorne and the sound isn't working... except the sound of me losing my [censored]

Did they say what the injury is??

Should have kicked 10 goals that quarter. 

Could have kicked 12.

Smashed them

not sure just said knee, doc apparently shook his head so they think it is day over


Apart from the kicking for goal, we're dominating.  Selwood and Dangerfield have had little influence and we're swarming all over them the moment they touch the footy.  

For all of that, there is still lots of improvement to be had - if we kick straight, for one, then we could be 3-4 goals up right now.  We can fix this in the second half.  

I'm loving this sort of football at the moment.  We are taking right up to them and making sure we dictate the terms.  Can we sustain it?  Not sure, but it's great to see.

Hamstring apparently 

 

If we win this one, its will be massive.

 

Right in it.

 

Just cant resort to Melbourne of old.

  • REPORT: Hawthorn

    The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

  • CASEY: Box Hill

    The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

    The Demons were sloppy all day and could not stop the run and carry of the fast moving Hawthorn as the Hawks cruised to an easy 36 point win. Is the season over yet?
