We are dominanting the gsme but not the scoreboard.

Our f50 connextion is our biggest weakness.

I think our biggest weakness is not being able to defend the opposition's counter attacks. Take that out and you take out the greater % of goals scored against us this year.

    he is insanely overrated by posters here! fumbles all the time and has [censored] disposal no pace, has played 1 decent game this year and everyone lauding him as better than petracca and Oliver lol

    Gus had a  ripping 1st qrt today and ripper game last week.

    Dodgy decisions and poor kicking sees our  down 4  to 5 goals.

    Need to get Hogan into the game more. Weid and Tmac up front and get Hogan higher I say

    Tom McDonald has to play FF. Stop playing him up the ground. He is a gun tall forward!!!!!

    Prob is playing out of the square, makes a lead and by the time they stop handballing it to each other he is on the back flank...

    his first quarter was crap mate he got alot of kicks but then were clangers and he looked cooked 2 mins in when Jack Steven streamed down the wing to set up a goal


    Only we could be dominating a team so much and only have 22 point lead. Inside 50s have been disgraceful, no one actually looking to see where the forwards are, Clarry’s centering up was actually the perfect example as he put it right where there was a cluster of suns players. 

    Nibbler has been ok but that miss sums up why he’s becoming the new whipping boy. 

    Salems goal at the end of the quarter will hopefully give the boys a boost.

    He can't convert to save himself. Whereas Salem & Tom  McDonald.

    16 effective disposals running @ 76% efficiency.  5 Clearances.  7 score involvements and 5 interceptions.  Arguably one of the best on field!

    So many others missing easy stuff also and you pick Harmes out!??  Not renowned for goal kicking anyway.

    Harmes with 20 touches.

    Needs to do more damage with them DJ. Then he'd go to another level. Has transitioned nicely from a HFF to a mid supporting forward.

    Could swap him with Trac when they switch positions.

    We should be 10 goals up on this mob. Let us see if we can put em to the sword in the last half. Poor kicking is poor football.  ANB you should be embarrased.

    If anyone is labeling him better than Petracca that might be by default - due to Brayshaw actually getting a kick the past fortnight. Petracca has dropped off of a cliff. I remember watching this guy as a junior and I'd of punted the house on Petracca making it. Just looks a burst player.

    Lever asleep

    Good goal Nibbler.

    Yep, out of form is Trac. Not getting a lot of it and not doing much with it when he does.

    Common Demons!  Better

    Gawn dog!

     

    Get out of the way!

    we should win this one ladies and gentlemen.... hopefully we can now enjoy the rest of the game

    Ain't over just yet DJ. Don't forget we've played a lot of footy in a short period of time the past 18 days.

    Agree. He's going past Petracca IMO.  CP yet to get close to dominating a game. Set shots deplorable

    bit of a concern.. would be nice to see him tear it apart this half

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Hawthorn

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.

    • GAMEDAY: Hawthorn

      It’s game day and the Demons are chasing a fourth straight win as we take on the high flying Hawks at the G. After decades of being tormented by the Hawks the Dees will be keen to extend their 7 year dominance over Hawthorn.

    • NON-MFC: Round 09

      Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?
