far far far with k k k on the end!!

Twice Fitzy was on the lead but dropped it as the sun was in his eyes. Two 50's we;ve given away in 2 mins. 2 goals 2 Docks to 1 point Dees...........

saw scullys lightning hands, would have set up scoring opp but for a holding free against us. bennell done some nice things. nervous shot at goal by trengove. morton is class.

dockers giving themselves more scoring opps. we are struggling at half fwd

Posted (edited)

Defenders are doing ok but we are going backwards to try and run through the back half but we end up just turning it over as there looks like very little movement up the ground.

Again skills under pressure are so frustrating. Finally got some run, McDonald (Brissie) handballed to Morton who was smashed as soon as he touched the ball, turn over goal!!!

Was hoping we might have improved over the summer. Another long season ahead.

fair go, its the first quarter of the NAB cup.

After hearing some nice reports over the summer and hoping for a decent contest tonight

well I guess we are going to battle getting out of the bottom 4

Another goal now and we are 27 points behind this isn't looking good early

Bennell has made some bad mistakes early, loving scullys hands, nothing looking good forward

Another turn over coming out of defence, turn over.... GOAL.

Our skills let us down but at the same time (it is hard to see up the ground on TV) it seems like there is just nothing up the ground for the defenders to kick too.

28 to 1 point 1min to go in 1st.

Ugly. Just go long down the centre. Can't understand where Bailey is comming from in his coaching!

i do not know what people (on this site) were thinking when they had the dees finishing with at least 7-8 wins this season. I hope the Dees can start playing some good football once he grows up :(

Posted

Scully great hands in close along the wing. Shocking free kick against him for holding it.

Dees make turn over... Rivers running on to it.... point! 1st is done.

28 vs 2 points Freo up.

Posted

Watching this quarter was like banging my head against the wall.... painful and pointless.

On the bright side, Scully's hands are bloody amazing!!!

Knowing a whole year of this is making me Sick

Worst side so far in the Nab Cup

I think DB has to become a bit more attacking with his coaching. Always putting numbers behind the ball, and we go forward to an empty forward line every single time. Im not sure how that will win us games.

Posted

So our game plan is to once again play 2 behind the ball, have no forward line and try and run it forward........FAIL!

If that's the game plan, It's going to be a long year.

Again.

No structure No workable fowardline. In fact our whole team deserted our

half of the ground and spent it in the dockers half. Very very very concerning a quarter

with just 2 points I expected more.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players.

Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
