Game Day Thread - Hawks v Daemons

Featured Replies

What the hell was that last minute. 3 goals with barely a whimper.

 

Frawley is a selfish [censored]. Only cares about his own man, had a perfect view from my seat of him letting Smith run into an open goal, just so he could stop Franklin. Apparently commentators talked about it too. Good

Just got dropped in interview that lingy has been working with Trenners over the week

Hasn't helped to half time.

 

A thrashing is more accurately measured by how many times our score they kicked, rather than the actual point spread.

186 Geelong kicked 4.95 times our score.

148, Essendon kicked 5.11 times our score.

1/2 time today Hawthorn is 6.3 times our score

if i had twitter id start that campaign

Although i have a feeling he may already be signed and sealed to the MFC


How much does a bag of spuds cost these days!! Because we have a glut of em !!

If Paul Roos or Bomber Thompson were coaching us today it wouldn't be any different!

The most basic stupid mistakes made by Bail,Jordie,RODAN,Joel Mac,Fitzy are because they are NOT AFL standard.Not coach related just dumb decision makers executed with sub standard SKILL.Those 5 should not be playing AFL football.

SIMPLE AS THAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Watts is on the verge of a breakout i reckon

Do you? He lacks any aggression whatsoever. It is becoming a waste of a great body and sublime skills.


Just to stick to the things that don't make me want to top myself:

We've had 178 disposals in a half. Much better than the last few weeks.

We're now leading clearances 20-19, and leading tackles 37-23.

That's about it really. 34 inside 50s to 19, conceding 224 disposals in a half (100+ that quarter) - the usual MFC problems.

It sounds like Neeld put numbers behind the ball. Again. I hate this move. He then uses it to defend the team afterwards ('look, we had to put numbers behind the ball early and we were under the pump all day'). Bailey used to do it too. It never, ever works. All it does is free up a dangerous opposition player to play loose and do what they want. It's an awful strategy. One of the reasons why Neeld isn't good enough.

Absolutely brilliant example of Neelds pathetic mindset.

one flaw in your argument - Roos or Thompson wouldnt give games to those spuds

Is Neeld out there? Is he there to tell idiots like Fitzpatrick and McKenzie what to do? No, he's not. He can tell them all the right things during the week, but he can't replicate gameday no matter what he does, and players who are not natural footballers like Fitzpatrick and McKenzie, who cannot make the transition to the speed, pressure and intensity of AFL football, are prone to making bad decisions.

Decision-making is not as easily coached as tackling, clearance work, positioning, or even ball-skills. It's innate, and our players wholly lack it. It's up to them to learn from their mistakes and get better.

Neeld has a raft of other issues he can be responsible for.

Yes, he picked Rodan, who people claim cost us nothing. Well the poor bugger is trying but he has cost us plenty today

I feel for Jones and Garland, cop it game in game out and don't stop

He was working with him last year too. Perhaps time Trenners sacked him.

Might be time Neeld played him in the mids, he was doing ok earlier...then he gets put back to the forward line.


7 goals ago

If Neeld would just leave him in the forward line, and forget all that "loose man in the back line" nonsense, he would be a star.

Dumb post. All the commentators said was Frawley "didn't make a decision". He was left two defend two goal kickers, where was Smith's man?

Looks like Dawes is presenting well. 8 marks and 12 disposals. Never mind his kicking...

Yes but it's very depressing that our star recruit is so bad in kicking for goal. Tho absolutely thrashed we should be 3 goals something


Who comes in for those 5 spuds?

one flaw in your argument - Roos or Thompson wouldnt give games to those spuds

Well faaarkkk me!!! What a absolute shocker !!

Rodin should never be played again for us !

A waist of space !! Jones heaps of touches but no help !!

id add jodie to that his a spud.

Coming to queens birthday from Adelaide wish I had taken insurance on my flights

Amen. Absolute crap.

Even the ball hates us the way it's bouncing!

He was 45 out on an angle. He wasn't the easiest shot but he should get those. Maybe I'm harsh to compare him to Clark, but for $500k a season, you'd want to be able to kick.

Sorry but that is his primary job.

Aside from one miss he has had a blinder in the first half as our only forward. I am obviously watching a different game.

  • REPORT: Fremantle

    For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

  • CASEY: UWS Giants

    The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
