Thetes the trademark late goal by the opposition...

 

Posted

Confidence in front of the sticks is the issue.

We are cracking in. However, we are like a racehorse sweating up in the starters gates.

We're a 10 goal better side.  At least.  Kicking is the only thing letting us down.  Outside of that last goal there our backline has worked superbly to stop their run forward.  They look up from half back and have nowhere to go.

Now to finish them off in the third term.

We have got to get rid of this fixture playing in the tropics. So damned hot and humid . Easy game for the dogs next week . This is going to cost us big time

convinced that the reason teams are so efficient going forward against us is because we are attacking so much, and have so much of the ball. Our defenders are caught off guard, flat footed and day dreaming. Reminds me of junior footy, whenever one team is smashing the other, the losing team will go forward once and kick a goal. The winning team just doesn't defend because it doesn't need to most of the time.

we have a lot of talent back there. The problem is that opposition coaches flood our forward line, and have players stream back. It's easier when you're defending to transition, then it is to attack and then defend the transition because the attacking players need to run the other way. Defenders are already facing the direct they're transitioning in.

4.2 from 13 inside 50s that’s pretty much a score every second time they go in there, good sides will give us a hiding it’s why I can’t see finals this year lever was a huge loss

We just play dumb football. Our player forward of centre just get in each other’s way. We should be 45 up but our incompetence leaves them in the game. I am still unclear on what we are trying to do.

Maxy really is mentally weak in front of goal, I'd actually take Bugg before him in a kick for my life.

He should just handball immediately now, it's just not worth the risk.

This should be over.  The poor kicking is just turning this into a rubbish spectacle.

He is mentally weak in every part of the ground. He thinks he is a great sledger and chit talker on the field, he needs to focus on the basics, like you know footballing.

We should be 10 goals in front. Why am I getting a dreadful feeling about this.

Posted

Choking once again with our season on the line.

5 goals 15 behinds  .....  woeful.

[censored] of a game

They keeping asking about the humidity on the telecast BBO, how sweaty is it?

Not watching.... glad I'm not by the looks of it

no forward structure at all kick and hope why not play ff and cf and let the crumbers do their job

Hard not to be frustrated by that half with the uncapitalised dominance. Probably should have been game over by 1/4 time. This game is almost a replica of the game against Gold Coast earlier in the year. We are on track for a record I50 count.

I noticed Goodwin has moved smith forward in that qtr. Not sure why?

FMD we always seem to concede a goal right on the siren 

Better that Q but so bloody frustrating. 

44 to 13 I 50 and only lead by one goal and some behinds. 

????????

    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.
