Frost basher is out. He being far from our worst and at least making a contest. 

Sheesh, some people need their one eye attended to. 

 

There needs to be more intent. Take the first option, back yourself. Theres too much give it to the other guy and let him deal with the problem attitude.

I thought we were 9 goals down, until i saw the half time score. 

You guys are unbelievable. We must be doing a few good things, please

It’s just the usual frustrating shyte, amplified a little.

It's sad coming here to [Demonland] and watching our [posters] serve up crap, cmon [boys and girls] lift!


It's really simple.

We have too many players who aren't good enough.

(Also a few who aren't quick enough.)

You mean like Lewis was pilloried for doing last week?

Yep.

Without getting into a discussion of that, the difference here is that we are doing it at stoppages, which is causing our problems.

I just dont understand the lack of intensity or pressure.

 

No excuse.

Haven't had intensity since pre QB and haven't had pressure all year. 

As someone said above this side is running on pure talent (from some) and getting sweet F all from it's coaches.

Frost has the same shortcomings as 3 years ago. Hannan should not have played. JKH deserved a game based on vfl form but won't play again.

haha yes this.  Anyone who thinks Tyson would fix this is definitely on the spectrum. 

Maybe when the AFL decrees that handballs to feet are worth points we'll bring back Tyson.

The trubble is buzzy,  Hannan adds nothing or hasnt so far and we are losing stoppage clearances badly.  I can only assume they are getting half their goals from those and the other from our dumbass turnovers.  T-Mac, Lewis and Frosty the obvious ones.

They have 11 rookies to our 6.  We should spiflicate them!

Dogs have one of the worst 3rd quarter records in the comp.

 

Let see how much we want it...

I’ve only seen the second quarter, but my take is that dogs are getting repeat inside 50s due to poor decisions and kicking. There was a point where it looked like we were breaking the game open but we let them back in and it gave them confidence. 

The game has had a lot of ebs and flows, we need to make the most of the time we’re on top.

I will take a 1 point win today Steve, don’t care how ugly. 

Why are players continually allowed to drop the ball? Does my head in.

Conversely I think we have one of the best.


Salem perfect tackle, play on. 

Hibbered tackled, holding the ball. 

Umpires lifting for the Dogs.

Only reason we aren't behind is they haven't converted. Did you watch the Saints game? Its pretty much Verbatim.


Your goal lewis you [censored] [censored]!

I just can’t believe our lack of defensive pressure 

We won’t win at the G with this zone; it leaves too much space open wide on the wings and waiting for transitional ball movement 

Been tha same for over 12 months

Dogs have 11 of their best 22 out apparently. But yes, 1 pt win would do.

We are playing terrible today 

Getting close to turning off, yet again.

Not good enough.

  • REPORT: North Melbourne

    I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

  • CASEY: Werribee

    The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

  • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

    The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
