Dees attack going Hungry

Featured Replies

Posted

I have an article on my wall written by Mark Stevens from the Herald Sun.

Melbourne Season Preview, with the Heading "Dees attack going hungry"

To summarise,

If you get the ball inside 50 more than your opponent, chances are you will win.

In the past 4 years the demons have been last in the competition for forwards differentials.

This Trend Has been glaring obvious in the first few rounds, nothing has changed, in fact i think its worse.

Stevens suggests, we defend from too far back, Almost 40% of the turnovers they inflicted were in the defensive 50, clearly the most of any team last year, another area id suggest is worse.

So basically all our issues we had to fix have become wild fires now, suggesting our game plan is flawed.

Our issue is we are soft, that other sides see us as soft, and that we have some players who are frightened of physical contact.

This is the kindling from which the wild fires have erupted.

The poor coaching is just fuel on the fire.

  • 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?

  • POSTGAME: Western Bulldogs

    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.
