If it was in play and marked it would have been called play on. Makes no sense to review the score because it went through the goal posts.

Take momentum back when we can.

Hogan is a gun down back. I remember watching him for WA and just assumed he was a back man. I was surprised when he came out and started dominating up forward for us. If he plays down back, he is our best back man, I have no doubt about that. Of course I would prefer him up forward, but it was a good move to shift him back in that quarter, and it is a good ace to have up the sleeve. Watts and Hogan can swing position and swing games.

Bit sloppy in that second quarter but we were still able to match Collingwood with five goals. Bring it home Dees!

We just didn't handle the rise in tempo, half time should give us a chance to reset, we're clearly the better team, 4 of their 6 goals have come on the back of our mistakes, tidy them up and i can't see them even getting close to us.

We played like champagne millionaires for the last 15 of that second quarter and it cost us big time.

 

We need to do the basics and compete with ferocity 100% of the time not pick and choose.

 

There's some really good signs currently - need to put them away in the third.

Nice 'hang time' kick by Hogan late - super intelligent play.  Roos is using Hogan well too ... get him in the play to help shift the momentum.  Hogan is not just a key forward - he can play anywhere.

Kept that 5 goal lead from the first quarter ... and we would have taken that at quarter time.  We kick the first couple in the 3rd quarter and it's all over ... need a knockout punch.

Wagner, Harmes & Bugg have contributed well ... Frost & Hunt have done a few nice things too.

Dom Tyson played an amazing first quarter but has been well held since then! 10 touches and a goal in the first and now he's what 13-14 touches. 

with them watching him Jones and Viney have been able to get onto the ball a bit more

Question: Would Demonland have exploded if Jack Watts had played like this in his debut game against Collingwood all those years ago? Better late than never, I suppose.

Jones has played well. Viney got some vital clearances in that second quarter.

Turnovers and skill errors are what's standing between us being also-rans and being a consistently decent team.. Will come with time and experience, but still frustrating when it happens.

We don't look on at the start of this quarter...

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the

We'll break down the Match SIM against North Melbourne and wrap up the preseason with insights into training and our latest recruits.
