Yep DA ..nothing much to get excited about there . Bombers unlucky not to have that goal awarded. Dees need to get going

Posted

Derm called it well, the dees forwards are all flying for a wet ball and spoiling each other.. Stupid football really (seperate and hold your defender away or at least hold your feet)! Poor 1st quarter so far. Hopefully we play better than a vfl team next quarter

How to beat Roos:

Step 1) Put a loose player in defence.

Step 2) Win.

You'd think we'd learned from the Collingwood game. Even before the match the 3AW commentators were reminding Roos about how easily Oxley cut us up. What the actual frack is going on?

No real Desire to win there. They seem to be getting behind the ball so every time we go forward they have men back. Dawes and Hogan don't look like marking anything.

Need to come out 2nd qrt with aggression - run and spread!

We've been poor with our entries inside fifty.

Have to give credit to Essendon their plans are working, much like the NAB cup game.

Players behind the ball. Frustrate our entries though long bombs.

Howe, Dawes and Hogan need to separate, all jumping at the same ball allowing Steinberg and Gwilt to drop off.

Big test for Roos right here right now. Coaching points to Hird clearly ATM.

Barring injury need JHK to replace a tall when subbed.

Posted (edited)

They'll give it another quarter and see if we're still too tall in our forward line. Clearly what we're doing now isn't working in these conditions, so pull the sub trigger with Dawes for JKH at halftime.

Howe, Dawes and Hogan all going up in the same marking contest is as dumb as it gets when they have a spare behind the ball.

Viney needs to seriously work on his kicking

yeah i thought...Gus has ball..ok.. Viney has it....wtf

No working structure in the forward half whatsoever. What the hell is ANB trying to take a screamer for every time the ball comes in? He's an extra in the contest which means that they have an extra at ground level. We are playing right into their hands.

totally agree...dumb footy atm....need to divide to conquer

On a side note, I cant handle seeing Howe out there.

Continues to not care to do the hard stuff.

His man is having a huge influence clogging up Hogan's space.

Wish Roos was tougher sometimes.

Posted

3 possessions between Hogan and Dawes. WTF

If going by the afl stats, a lot of players aren't seeing much of the pill (both sides), it's just that their major ball-winners are getting it a lot more than ours.

We're definitely playing to their gameplan atm.

Great play Dawsey

    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. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
