GAMEDAY - Round 10



Recommended Posts

Every time we look like kicking a goal that might get us firing up, someone misses. I reckon if we'd put a few of those through it might have been enough to get us going.

New half up soon though and a chance to start again. I'm not throwing in the towel just yet.

Gotta laugh at the ignorant posters blaming our backline. They are smashing us in the middle. Given the time the balls been in our backline, we are lucky they have only kicked 7 goals.

Poor delivery into forward line again this week and far too many tackles missed.

Tackling like basketballers. They need some lessons in tackling from Melbourne Storm. Agree this is like Essendon and St kilda games. Nobody preventing the coast to coast movement of the ball out of our forward line down the boundary to their goal.

Where's the individual accountability with a zone defence where players guard space? A player can always say "I wasn't on that one guy so that mark and goal wasn't my responsibility". Sure it's not as simple as that, but some of these backline guys need a massive injection of ownership and individual accountability when an opponent is left unattended by 30m, when they are always second to the ball or when 3 go up to spoil the mark leaving 3 opponents wondering around scooping up the ball. 

Angry.

Does anyone else disagree with the NT game?

I know there are financial incentives to play here but there are rewards to winning and laying finals as well.

 

Yep its absurd, costs us at least 3 games a season.

I think we're very much still in this game, we just need to use the ball better, we're making enough of the play we're just making stupid mistakes and missing shots we should kick.

If we start this quarter off well we can close this gap fairly quickly and get a roll on.

Where is Vince playing? Can't remember seeing him around the ball much.

Tyson looks like he has had 5 weeks off. 

Their mids are killing ours. Absolutely killing ours.

Once again the game is in trouble and I can see none of our leaders actually trying to inspire their teammates.

We are just not on today. Look flat. As simple as that. 

Roos said he'll make 4 changes. He made 2. Why?! It makes no sense that we don't keep refreshing the team when we are so young and tire quickly off a 6 day break. 

We can't be a serious club until we stop selling home games, but that is another issue.

Thanks Abe I get tired of trying to convince myself

Kents game has been a disgrace - lazy turnovers

Add Neal Bullen, Newton , and Harmes has been drinking his own bathwater. Regardless of result and I am predicting a big loss a huge raft of changes needed next week far too many far too easily pleased!!

Winning the hit outs easily yet clearances are being halved. If we win the clearances I think we'll win the game. So far it's not happening just like the Essendon & Saints game. We have to come up with a way to take advantage of Gawns tap work. Viney & Tyson have both been quiet. Maybe time for Vince to go into the square.

    HEAVEN OR HELL by The Oracle

    Clashes between Melbourne and St Kilda are often described as battles between the forces of heaven and hell. However, based on recent performances, it’s hard to get excited about the forthcoming match between these two sides. It would be fair to say that, at the moment, both of these teams are in the doldrums. The Demons have become the competition’s slow starters while the Saints are not only slow to begin, they’re not doing much of a job finishing off their games either. About the only th

    THE BLOW by Whispering Jack

    Narrm’s finals prospects took a crushing blow after the team’s insipid performance at Optus Stadium against a confident Waaljit Marawar in the first of its Doug Nicholls Round outings for 2024.  I use the description “crushing blow” advisedly because, although the season is not yet at it’s halfway mark, the Demons have now failed abysmally in two of their games against teams currently occupying bottom eight places on the ladder.  The manner in which these losing games were played out w

    HALF FULL by KC from Casey

    It was a case of the Casey Demons going into a game with a glass half full in their match up against the Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields on Saturday. As the list of injured and unavailable AFL and VFL listed players continues to grow and with Melbourne taking all three emergencies to Perth for the weekend on a “just in case” basis, its little brother was always destined to struggle. Casey was left with only eight AFL listed players from who to select their team but only two - an out-of-form

    GAMEDAY: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have returned to the site of their drought breaking Premiership to take on the West Coast Eagles in what could very well be a danger game for Narrm at Optus Stadium. A win and a percentage boost will keep the Dees in top four contention whilst a loss will cast doubt on the Dees flag credentials and bring them back to the pack fighting for a spot in the 8 as we fast approach the halfway point of the season.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k
