GAME DAY - Round 7

[Dr. Gonzo 24,444]

any idea what happened to him?

Hamstring

[Moonshadow 17,678]

Nice chip kick Jimmy Toumpas. Nine iron perhaps?

[Straight Sets Simon 23,113]

Toumpas and Bail have been good.

[deanox 10,045]

Was that paid for holding the ball?

[Moneider96 1,045]

Get rid of Howe. Reminds me so much of Frawley

[praha 11,253]

Looking forward to some overpaying for Howe and landing us another top 20 draft pick.

[beelzebub 23,390]

Well....late change had to help family. Not sttending..initially disappointed. Glad now

Not sure whether a wake a call for the players ...or Roos. From little I've seen you just cant play this brand of footy.

Tis already ugly:((

Well..back to the grind.. as im dure you at game are also thinking.

We're bloody good at getting other teams back up and firing

[Demon Disciple 12,452]

A goalless quarter coming up???

Would almost make it a goalless half if not for the first 4 minutes.

[jumbo returns 6,741]

Toumpas and Bail have been good.

Toumpas cannot cope with pressure.

Not ready yet.

[Dr. Gonzo 24,444]

Any chance we can lay a tackle in the f50? Apparently 75% of he time we get it in there the Hawks get a goal. Wow. Just Wow.

What a stat What a bunch of lazy assed players we have.

Useless. Hardly takes skill to tackle. Its intent and desire. This team doesn't have it. CLean the list out again f&*&^ me

If that stat is accurate (and I have no reason to doubt it) then it is absolutely disgusting. You're right, that has nothing to do with skill, it's about effort.

[Demon Disciple 12,452]

F U Melbourne, you are ruining my weekends. FFS

A goal!!!! A goal!!!!!

No that can't be right

[Toorak 108]

Toumpas and Bail have been good.

I don't know which was worse. Bail's shot at goal or Toumpas's attempt to pass it.

[BAMF 4,433]

Jeffy runs another one in!

Edit: Neitz in the hawks box? What is his role?

[Dr. Gonzo 24,444]

seriously interesting choice of words there. Sums up quite a bit of Demonland, I think. (not a good time to be making such an observation, I know...)

It's a Checker Hughes quote and is where we got our nickname from.

The more you learn!!!

[McQueen 17,867]

Oh my god seeing Neitz in the Hawks box is nauseating.

[barneymfc 152]

I don't know which was worse. Bail's shot at goal or Toumpas's attempt to pass it.

toumpas,must feet made of jelly

[Demon Dynasty 17,130]

Footy is played mostly above the shoulders. But where's the drilled skills & ferocious tackling as a bare minimum at this level when nothing else is working? The ability to hit lead up targets under pressure to move the ball up the field when the heat is on. When u aint got the ball man up and tackle/spoil/pressure! FMD

[barneymfc 152]

and everyone bags watts for not trying,have a good look at the 22 out there today

[monoccular 17,642]

Hamstring...Stretch now on.

This game is like a death of a thousand cuts...

Anyone think this club ain't cursed.

Of course we have so much depth in skilled running defenders that Salem's injury won't hurt us at all.

That is nearly half our best 22 out this week, and for a struggling team with little depth that will always devastate.

Even when Wines is out injured, he has more of a positive influence on his teams game than Toumpas.

[Dr. Gonzo 24,444]

Any chance we might apply some pressure at some stage? This is pathetic, bruise free football is back!

yes but in the light of 1973-1987, it's hardly a usable quote any more, surely!

[Dee-licious 1,954]

So how good is this McDonald kid..... Nothing else worth mentioning.

[BAMF 4,433]

Wow. They set up a simple zone and we crumble.

[praha 11,253]

I don't know why Pedo gets dropped ahead of Dawes.
