    Forwards coach, lol. We get tonnes of opportunities going in, our shambolic defense is the one that needs to be fixed first.

    If we have a goal kicking coach, sack him!

    if we don’t have a goal kicking coach, hire one tomorrow. 

    Our set shots are disgraceful

    Damn right it does Bing.
    Mindlessly bombing the ball inside 50 like morons is just BS.
    Done it all year and the buck stops with Goodwin.

    Agree. Hire one of the traditional full forwards from the era when full forwards kicked goals. We need a kicking coach urgently.

    Its not all the goal kicking technique though someone down there needs the gonads to tell Hogan to at least hold the ball on the correct side of his body for a start.
    For the most part it the weakness between the ears that kills us.

    Nothing to do with the coach. The "system" worked. The actual kicking was the let down.

    Spargo - who I am a huge fan of by the way - was atrocious today. Couldn't kick over a jam tin, rushing his set shots.

    Hogan - I just don't get his constant easy misses.

    Jeffy. That miss on the run while  momentum was moving our way. That is what you are in the team for. Energy sapper right there.

    Jones on the run. One beauty and one shocker.

    Twice in the last quarter a play-on and a slip over cost us walk-in goals. 

    No coach fixes this stuff, players do. 

    Really, really poor.

    Appalling routines and skills for set shots!

    How did these players survive through junior ranks with these set shot routines?

    Oh I forgot, they had great beep tests!!

    Watch closely though, very few of our player have a set routine that they stick to and repeat. Tommy McDonald might be the only one. 

    Hogan’s run up, step count and ball drop are different every time.

    every player needs a set shot routine. It’s the only way to really work out what they’re doing right or wrong to fix and fine tune any issues.

    Ben Brown is the perfect example. His set shots are always to routine. And if he’s off he can look at the footage and fix it

    Our scoring strategy is all about volume of entries to forward 50 - get it in as much as possible and eventually we will score - a strategy that doesn’t work against top teams who find it easy to defend -poor coaching!!

    Most of our misses occur in general play.
    We lack composure and sheeet ourselves.
    It's between the ears.

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.

      It's Game Day and the Demons face a monumental task as they take on the top-of-the-table Magpies in one of the biggest games on the Dees calendar: the King's Birthday Big Freeze MND match. Can the Demons defy the odds and claim a massive scalp to keep their finals hopes alive?

    • CASEY: Collingwood

      It was freezing cold at Mission Whitten Stadium where only the brave came out in the rain to watch a game that turned out to be as miserable as the weather.
      The Casey Demons secured their third consecutive victory, earning the four premiership points and credit for defeating a highly regarded Collingwood side, but achieved little else. Apart perhaps from setting the scene for Monday’s big game at the MCG and the Ice Challenge that precedes it.
      Neither team showcased significant skill in the bleak and greasy conditions, at a location that was far from either’s home territory. Even the field umpires forgot where they were and experienced a challenging evening, but no further comment is necessary.
