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

    The highest scoring team in the league needs an overhaul of the forward coaching.

    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.

      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?

      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.

      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?
