GAMEDAY - Round 8

[DemonWheels 1,055]

Dumb dumb dumb - so much dumb footy. Expecting us to eventually click and turn it around and convert all the hard work and domination into goals.

This better be our bad quarter

[DSP 1,488]

45 inside 50's for 8 goals...

[Jaded No More 68,858]

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

[praha 11,228]

Nice end to the quarter.

[brendan 3,434]

Interesting to see if may gets a week for touching an umpire 

[Diamond_Jim 12,529]

welcome back .. everyone

that quarter was a roller coaster

From the AFL site:

Melbourne surrendered the lead during the quarter but take a 22-point lead to half time. The Demons have gone inside forward 50 on 45 occasions, the highest half time tally by the club on record and by any team since Adelaide in Round 10 2017.

[gregdemon 624]

should win from here  (half time  22 pts up..  SHOULD !!

[Cheap Seats 3,310]

We are dominanting the gsme but not the scoreboard.

Our f50 connextion is our biggest weakness.

[Gorgoroth 12,920]

Take out the inside 50 disposal and we are playing some pretty good football.

But once again we have no idea how to get it to a player inside our 50.

We overhanball which means when they are ready to kick the forwards have already lead and are now out of position.

Fix those up and we would be 10 goals up. Gotta ensure we don’t give them a sniff.

Sh*t like that annoys me from Brayshaw. He has clearly called for the ball (when he was under the pump), its sh*t like that - that makes me pull my hair out. I haven't got much left either.

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

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

[Diamond_Jim 12,529]

Big quarter ... outscore them by 24 points and then run away in the last.

That's what a good team does

We had both of our tall forwards playing up the field for far too long.  So many missed opportunities as a result and some poor finish from other smaller forwards has resulted in a very ordinary return for so many entries.  We also fail to hit enough leading targets, again due to both talls playing too much time high up.

Fix up the basic structures and keep a balance and we would be in front by 7 or 8 goals by now.

Very strange coaching which has hopefully been corrected in those last 10 minutes or so.

[dees189227 12,368]

Agree leave tommy in the forward line. He has great hands. 

Better end to the quarter. I hope we go on with this and win well.

[jnrmac 20,053]

Hoges has had few stats but is leading the Kms with just over 8. Weideman second with 7.5kms

Interesting.....

Curnow will. That was pretty stupid

[Lil_red_fire_engine 11,108]

We are winning all the stats.Tommy showing he wants to be the number 1 forward and Harmes showing he does not want the swap with Viney next week. Salem does 1 lazy thing for every two good things which frustrates me. They are structuring well behind the ball and our kick into 50 has been poor. Clean that up and we will sail home, dont and we leave them hanging in the game to our peril. They will come out hard and persevere so lets put them away early.

Gold Coast have got some talent on their list, they won’t be down forever.
