Kennedy one possession 

They've just said he wasn't right in the warm up - didn't we take about 7 emergencies up this week?

Kents worst game? Has to be.

Nah, he's had a few absolute shockers this year.

Carried too many passengers in that half like Kent and Kennedy to name two. Need to seriously crack in this second half.

This zone defence is shittin me. I know we need to learn it, but it really is heart in mouth stuff every time they get the ball.

I almost think it removes accountability and allows half hearted jogging around, unlike playing on a man.

don't think we can play any worse than that and only 21pts down, Jones & Hogan been solid. Really miss Oliver!

Surely Salem and Dunne are better options than any of the current backs, particularly Wagner and Oscar MacDonald.

Very ordinary half of football.


Posted

Tyson, Kent, Garlett, Vince, Viney, stretch, Bugg, Kennedy, ANB, Omac, have been super pathetic.

Jones has had a lot of the ball, not doing any damage. Gawn is tapping to them.

cant win a clearance. Not working hard enough. Tackling is non existent when in a one on one. Goal kicking is pathetic, inside fifty kicking is even worse.

So poor.

 

If we renew our games in the NT we might as well send our ressies, as soon as we land here we go on holidays then lose the week after too.

20 tackles in the first half - its obvious we didnt make enough changes at selection, we are tired.

A miracle we are only 20 down.

Coast to Coasts killing us.

Something very familiar about that sentence....

Lucky to only be 21 behind at half time

I don't think we could have played worse but being down by less than 4 goals gives me hope.  Lots of players down do far, If our midfield can get on top we can win!

I know it's been asked before but why is Oscar playing ahead of Dunn? It's crazy. How stoked would you be if you saw Zac Dawson's skinnier brother lining up on you?

Quick flood the backline....

 

Cut the zone/corralling garbage and go man on man.

Everyone accountable.

Game still winnable but we need to snap.  


Posted

If i remember correctly our NAB cup game againt Port was quite similar to this, they dominated us in the first half and we came back hard in the second half and won?

Posted

Port have done very well to keep our small forwards quiet. Dixon has almost had more goals than Kennedy, Garlett and Kent have had possession in the first half.

Posted

We won the first quarter then totally went to water....they deserve a huge rocket at half time.

I see virtually zero redeeming features in him. Tallish.. maybe? Thats bout it. Slow, clumsy, weak in the air and cant kick.

We defend terribly.

MacDonald brothers may be good athletes but lack footy smarts.

Good athletes !!!??Oscar Mc Donald is slower than my mother, she's 92 and has a walker!! 

T Mac thinks he is Arnold Swazeneger, He is his little toenail!! Only

Oh and yes they also lack footy smarts!

It seems if we lose possession in our forward line its and easy transition goal to them.

I can't believe we haven't fixed this up yet this year,as we did nothing to change things against the saints and bombers.

There is something terribly wrong with our game plan when we are in transition,

    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.
